Life Lately

Whenever my schedule gets a little off track it seems like it takes forever for me to catch up!

My beautiful childhood best friend got married to the love of her life on the 30th. 

I took off work to be in the wedding and let me tell you, it's more stressful to be away from class than actually in it.

The wedding was gorgeous despite the windy day and we had a great time together. 

True to form I have no photos. 

At least this time I have somewhat of an excuse since I was in the wedding.

Later that weekend Kyle and I bought our first Christmas tree!

My family has always done fake trees, so for our first Christmas we decided to purchase a live one.

Update on Kyle's countdown:

It's been going pretty well. I can't believe we're almost halfway done!

Some of the things have been, 

Quality Time- Setting up our Christmas Tree

Acts of Service- A back rub

Words of affirmation- notes about things I love or am thankful for

Gifts- S'more night

I've been crazy busy at school. I can't believe how life seems to get away from you when you're constantly busy. 

Christmas is quickly approaching and I've been loving starting all of the Christmas activities with my students. 

It's so exciting to see how much they are progressing!

Some of the things we've been working on are colors and sorting. 

I found this great magnet activity at the dollar store that paired both together. 

This little cutie was so excited that he was able to do it on his first try!

I love watching their joy when they are so excited about their learning.

Hopefully I'll be able to get back on track with everything instead of coming home and crashing!
