Labor Day and Lately

Sorry for the little blog hiatus -- and I was doing so well at keeping up! Not a whole lot has happened since I last blogged. I took my exam on Saturday -- and it was tough. I really have no idea how I did - and I won't get my scores back for another month, so I'm just in waiting, wishing and hoping mode. Saturday was also my sister's birthday -- I don't have any fun news about that because we didn't get to go down to Austin to celebrate -- just wanted to give her a belated birthday shout-out :)

We headed out of town for Labor Day weekend (along with the entire city of Dallas) to Lake LBJ with some friends and had a GREAT long weekend. We spent a lot of time out on the lake, cooking out (and eating a lot), playing pool and board games and watching COLLEGE FOOTBALL! Saturday night that is pretty much all we did and I am so glad college football is back! It's one of my favorite things about fall - and even though I'm not sure about the kind of season Tech is going to have, I'm just happy to have football to watch every Saturday! On Sunday, we went out to Becker Vineyards, just outside of Fredericksburg because they were having their annual grape stomp. We spent a gorgeous Sunday afternoon tasting wine and sitting out in the grass with cheese and crackers and a glass of good wine. Here's a quick picture of the group at the winery...

After our long weekend at the lake, we came back to the real world. I started subbing this week at an elementary school near our house. I'm in first grade all week, which has been fun, but exhausting! I'm hoping to get some calls for other grades over the next few weeks so I can figure out where I'm the most comfortable.

We are headed out to Cabo on Saturday, so if I don't get around to blogging before then - I'll be back with some pictures soon! I'll leave you with a glimpse at the view I'll be enjoying next weekend...




Pin It!
