26.2

My amazing sister-in-law, Erin ran the Sojo Marathon a few weeks ago and we got to cheer her on! I was so impressed with Erin especially because I got tired from sitting and eating chick-fil-a while she ran the 26.2 miles. What a champ! It really was impressive and I even got emotional as she crossed the finish line with cute little Tate. What an accomplishment! I'm so glad I could be there! Bill and Gale flew out for the big event and we made a weekend of celebrating out of it! We started with Grandma Couch's birthday, had the big races, {Tate and Tygh ran in one too!} and finished with some competitive mini golf. We loved being able to spend time with Kevin's parents, Erin, Tygh, Tate, and Bailey! {And of course Lauren and Mike} Here are some highlights from the weekend!

Girls Weekend in Rocklin

This Fall Break was spent in Rocklin, California with my mom, and my sisters, Kristine and Kelly. {We missed you Rachel!} We had a blast spending time with Ben and Ella, eating yummy food, and doing lots of crafts. We made super cute Halloween and Christmas banners, painted pumpkins, and cute door decorations! {Never go to Joann's past 8pm} They turned out so cute! We got to meet up with my fabulous in-laws, Bill and Gale for a delicious lunch and train ride for the kids! It is always sad to say goodbye, but I'm so happy the Holidays are around the corner! I can't wait for our next girls weekend! {Thanks for hosting, Kristine!}

 I was so happy to get home to Kevin and look how excited he is about our new holiday decor! :)

Julie's Wedding and a BFF Reunion

Sweet Julie and I have been friends since the moment our families moved to Edwards AFB, CA our sophomore years of high school. We were lucky enough to become friends with the best people around. Between soccer, volleyball, golf, student council, and state science fair, we became the best of friends. Julie got married a few weekends ago in St. Louis, and what a party it was! {I love that Baker family!}

I jumped on a plane early Saturday and was reunited with these great friends for the weekend! Sue and Parks made it from Texas and Bri Lee from Vegas! {I almost couldn't take it, I was so excited to see them all!} We celebrated Julie and her new husband, Eric, and I couldn't be happier for these newlyweds! I am so happy they are just in Colorado so we can see each other more often now! {Especially with her parents, General Baker and Ms. Robyle, moving to Hill AFB out here!}
I can't wait for the next wedding so we can all be reunited again! Congrats to the Schortmanns!

Full swing...

This weekend we are celebrating Kevin's second week of being back in school and my third. School is definitely back in full swing for the both of us but oh how we love this time of year! Football season has started, the mountains are starting to turn red, yellow, and orange, and we are enjoying the cooler weather!

Here's a quick look at my room this year. It was so nice to leave so much up over the summer and this second year is already so much easier. I love my new, darling students, and adore seeing my old students when they come and visit each day!

Sweet treats from SWEET students
