Ten on Tuesday...

Yet...another borrowed blog post idea from Erin =)

1. What’s the one thing you always do when you’re stressed?
Sleep

2. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever done for a friend?
I'm not really sure. I guess helping my friend hold her head outside of the car window so that she would not throw up inside the car, then carrying her inside her dad's house with the help of some guy she was dating....we were 16. (Hey, but at least I was the sober one)!

3. What cleaning supply could you not live without?
Clorox cleaner...I get really paranoid about bacteria on the kitchen counter.

4. How long do you plan on living where you currently reside?
Right now, who knows?! 1-5 years lol

5. Do you usually vote straight party, a mixture, or not at all?
Generally vote straight party.

6. What’s something that you love to do, but seem to never make time for?
Read

7. What’s your favorite store to buy things for other people?
I buy most things online

8. What’s the weather like around you today?
I wouldn't know! I haven't been outside yet...and it's awesome!

9. What’s the worst book you’ve ever bought and read?
Hmm..not sure. Generally if I don't like it after the 3rd of 4th chapter I quit wasting my time. But the last book I remember not finishing was a Nicholas Sparks book, I don't even remember the name.

10. What’s the closest thing to you that is yellow?
A measuring tape...I had to measure myself for a bridesmaids dress...that was depressing.

I just want to say....

A HUGE THANK YOU goes out to my awesome husband!!

For my first day on Fall break I got to spend it at the spa getting a 90 minute massage, aromatherapy, a scalp massage, and an eye mask treatment. It. Was. Awesome! And the best part is?!...He got me TWO certificates!!! One for now, and one for when I am finished with student teaching!!! Soooo sweet!! It was a much needed day of relaxation and this might just be one of my favorite gifts ever =)

It's been a while...

I haven't updated in a quite a while! I'm not sure why...it could be the fact that The only night I'm home before 7 is Friday. Everyday I have school then Monday I babysit until 10:30, Tues. and Thurs I tutor til 7, Weds. we have small group til 9:30/10, and Friday I am home but we are generally busy on the weekends =) It's a busy, but fun life! Not too terribly much has been going on on but here are things I should've blogged about but didn't:

• My parents came down last weekend. I had the girls most of Friday night, then we all woke up bright and early and went to the Yellow Daisy Festival at Stone Mountain. It was fun, but it was HOT!! We went to dinner at Flip which was amazing as usual. Then we woke up to have breakfast with the parents and they were back on the road! It was a fun but very short trip!
• The weekend before that, we celebrated Labor Day with a delicious breakfast at Cindy and Thomas'. I got a lot of cuddle time in with the new man (SJ4) and we had a great time hanging out with everyone!
• In that past two weeks I've started tutoring a middle school girl...it's fun, and It's really made me have to think. There's quite a difference between teaching how to read a clock and how to solve algebraic equations. I like the challenge =)
• Greg was gone all last week to San Diego. He got back into town Friday at midnight and we stopped at Steak-and-Shake for a late night date since we hadn't seen each other all week! I'm VERY glad he is home safely =)

I believe you are now all caught up! I'll try to do a better job of updating! The holidays are just around the corner and so are fun festivals, so I'm sure I'll have more to blog about. This is it for now! Here are a few pics of the past few weeks...

The final products...

Yay! Our pottery came in! What a a fun day together!

Designer shades...

HAH. Gotta love it! My CT sent this pic to me tonight, apparently she took it during morning meeting...the things you do for kids =)

**btw...the shades are because the kids are so "bright" =)

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun...

While the boys are away, the girls will play! Yesterday the husbands (minus Greg...who had to work until 2am last night) from our small group went camping, so the wives decided to spend the day together too! Our first stop was at My Clayground to paint pottery. It was a lot of fun and I can't wait to take pics of the "after pieces." We spent so long painting that we decided to take a break about halfway through and go next door for lunch at a yummy mexican restraunt. The weather was BEAUTIFUL yesterday so we sat outside and enjoyed the cool September weather! After filling up on nachos, we went back to work on our masterpieces. Before leaving the area, we walked over to Menchie's for some delicious frozen yogurt (my favorite)! After that we headed home and Erin and I decided to hang out for a while more so we went back to my house, hung out for a while, then decided to go get a pedicure and run a few errands together. To end the night a few of us met up for dinner at Olive Garden. It was a long, fun day spent with friends! I certainly hope the guys are having as much fun as we are...I hate Greg had to work instead of camp..lame. Can't wait for another get together with some of my favorite girls!

Best concert of my life!

One of my favorite songs by Paramore...such a fun night!


Last night we went to the Paramore concert! This is my favorite band and Greg surprised me with tickets several months ago! It. Was. AMAZING! We were about 6 rows from the stage (the people standing right it from on the stage were standing in the pit and we were off to the side) and we had amazing seats! Tegan and Sara was their main opening band (whom I also love) so this concert in general was such a treat!! We enjoyed a delicious dinner at Chow Baby before hitting up the concert, so all in all it was a FANTASTIC night!! We didn't take a camera, so we used the iPhone for pics and videos! Glad we had something with us =)

This was how close we were to the stage...saweeet!

This is Hayley Williams..the lead singer for Paramore
