Weekend Round-Up

I am so excited it's finally the weekend. This week was exhausting! It was our homecoming week AND our county fair was in town! Both together=crazy students!

This weekend I plan on catching up on grading papers, watching football, drinking lots of coffee, read a little, and snuggling with Sammy. Sounds like a great weekend to me!

Weekend Round-Up

Is it just me or do the weekends feel like they're getting shorter and shorter? I feel like I just walked out the school doors on Friday, and I'm already having to get ready to go back at it tomorrow.
I enjoyed a pretty lazy weekend. I didn't do anything exciting. Our weekend started off not so great when our internet went out! Luckily my husband knew how to fix the router to make it work again, but we were without internet from Friday to Saturday afternoon.

Friday night I finally completed one project I've been wanting to do since we moved into our house! I finally put together our gallery wall, and I am so in love with it!



I am in love with how it turned out! It makes me so happy when I look at it, which is a lot since it's in our living room.






Most of the frames I used came from Walmart. The subway print canvas came from T.J.Maxx several years ago. I bought it knowing I wanted it hanging in my house someday, and now it is! The cross with the quote on it was a gift from my husband last Christmas. He did good right? The green wood board with the quote on it was a wedding gift, and it came from a local store we registered at for our wedding.

I'm so glad I was finally able to hang everything on the wall! At our renter house we weren't allowed to hang things on the wall, so I wasn't able to do this. I had to be patient and I'm so thrilled with how it turned out!

Where Is Summer Going?

I feel like the last day of school was just last week. Does anybody else feel that way? I guess time is flying by because I have been so busy lately. I go back to school in less than a month! How crazy is that?!? My classroom isn't anywhere near ready for a new year yet! I also just found out I will be coaching our Junior Varsity volleyball team this year! I am very excited about that!! I was SUPER nervous when I first found out, but it's starting to turn into excitement now! I played volleyball all through school, which was seventh to twelfth grade! It was my favorite part of school! I played every position there is at some point throughout the years. It'll be interesting to be on the coaching side of it instead of the players side.
 
House update: 

Our new house is starting to come together pretty nicely now! It's nice seeing it without boxes everywhere. We still have a few boxes to unpack, but we're waiting on some we furniture before we actually unpack those. Sammy, our puppy, just keeps growing and growing! I swear he looks taller every day! I'm kinda obsessed with taking pictures of him, so if you follow me on Instagram you've seen a lot of pictures of Sammy. I try to hold back and not post so many, but he's just so darn cute!!
