school [is back in session]
Well, summer is coming to an end and the days are starting to seem like fall. I love it so much, maybe it is the thought of walking to the bus stop some magical day in elementary school with my new book bag, shoes & cute-as-a-button outfit. I'm not real sure, but it's all a little exciting! AAAANNNDDDD I am still relaxed. My ticker is about to meet the 100 day mark, and small amounts of anxiety could possibly ensue...
However, it is back to school, back to screaming children & the crazy, tragic, sometimes almost magic, awful, beautiful life of teaching! I am so blessed to have a job, one that I like no less. And one that is keeping me so busy that my FMIL has to call and remind me to do something simple that I forgot to do days ago. UH OH! and i'll be getting on that.......
At any rate, school is keeping me ultra busy, as meetings ensue and children arrive bright & early on Wednesday morning. My countdown nears the double digit mark, and I remain too busy to care [or planned & ahead to the point it is...just.another.day.]
can't.wait.to.be.his.wife :)

my wedding weather [so cool!]
Today, I discovered My Wedding Weather through The Weather Channel. This is SO NEAT! It tells you when the sun will set, the current weather in the city you are marrying [ours is in Ohio, we live in South Carolina], and weather data from previous years. 10 days out, it will automatically email me the 10 day forecast, and two days before starts sending an hour by hour forecast so you can plan accordingly. This would be especially useful if you were having an outdoor wedding! Hooray for The Weather Channel!
At any rate, with my 3:30 wedding, sunset is at 5:03 and the "dusk" period lasts until about 5:34 which will hopefully make for some beautiful pictures! You know...[my photographer told me] it is actually more desireable to have less natural light. As in, a bright sunny day isn't always the ideal for the photographer - too much natural light. So I am keeping a positive outlook and just hoping for the best. Now that school is nearly back in session, my goal is not to get stressed out, and coast on in to the wedding day!
I am overall very pleased with my teacher's summer break [bonus] and getting to complete so many projects. At this point, I am quite confident in where I stand and only have a few details for the day of the wedding [times of arrival, etc.]. SIGH OF RELIEF!
Hopefully you all had a fabulous Thursday, afterall -- tomorrow is FRIDAY!

[finally] more DIY
After several attempts at properly rotating these pictures, I have at last got them facing the correct direction so you do not have to sit in your computer chair sideways to enjoy their true beauty!
our toasting flutes
a close-up of their detail...an original idea, I have never seen anything like it!
The guestbook pen: it started out as a plain white pen that I purchased for dirt cheap [at...Pat Catan's I believe]
aaaannnndddd the guestbook that I purchased at one of Hobby Lobby's fabulous 50% off Wedding things days. I may have paid $10 for it because the color was perfect and I liked the pearl accent. Then I added some feathers :)
Well...I'm back in South Carolina, ready to get back to work [I'm not sure I ever envisioned myself saying that]. I started volleyball tryouts with my middle schoolers today, and I'm hoping for the best this season. They're such a treat! On a non-related note, before I know it, my wedding countdown will be in double digits! HOLY MOLY! I remember when it was over 365!
