It's starting to feel like fall!

This weekend Jessi and I went to Simmons Farm. Jessi hadn't ever been to an apple orchard where you pick your own apples so it was wonderful to share a new experience with her. We each picked a peck of apples, went on a hay ride and browsed the delicious smelling gift shop. It was a gorgeous, albeit windy, day and I couldn't have asked for a better day! With the apples I made homemade applesauce and apple muffins, both of which Matthew said are very tasty!

I saw the film Easy A on Sunday and it was hilarious! The writing is very witty, humorous and the ending is absolutely adorable! There was also a preview for Harry Potter at which I was pretty much squeeling in my seat!!! Yay HP!

Tomorrow we make our trip back to the land of cheese and beer for Emily's wedding. I'm so excited to see her and all the things she has ready for the wedding! Not to mention getting my nails done for the first time in my life! We leave Pittsburgh around 7am tomorrow so it's going to be an early one, but worth it because we get to Eau Claire at 11am:)! Hooray!!

Happy Birthday

Happy (belated) Birthday to my dad! His special day was yesterday! Dad, you're awesome! He's a DJ on a local community radio station, WHYS Radio. Check it out:)

Weddings

My friend Emily is getting married next week! I'm one of her bridesmaids and I absolutely can not wait for her big day! Her fiance is wonderful and I feel so blessed to be able to help share in their special day:) It's also going to be wonderful to be in Eau Claire for a few days! Not to mention that we get to fly Pittsburgh to Chicago and Chicago to Eau Claire! I don't think I've been to the EC airport more than once.

Back!

It's been a quite a while since I've posted on here but my life has finally slowed down after a super busy May and really busy summer:) Overall, the summer was great. Working for the Y was awesome and I'm continuing with them in their afterschool program, which happens to be about 5 minutes from my house. I don't think I've ever lived that close to a place where I work, not even in college.

Still no full time teacher job, but subbing is going okay. I subbed two days last week and for sure sub this Friday. Things are a little slow going with subbing, but there's not too much I can do about that:) I don't want to cross my fingers and hope that teachers (or their kids) get sick; that just sounds cruel.

Glee Season 2 started last night and I LOVED it! Next week is a Britney episode and I can't stop watching the preview!!
