So let's recap the past 2 months...
End of August:
I left Alabama and moved into a new classroom and new apartment. Spent a week and a half setting up the new classroom and new apartment then went back down to Alabama for Greg's graduation from flight school! Life was a little bit stressful but I could not have been more proud of Greg. That weekend was also insane with packing up Greg's townhouse in Alabama, visiting Panama City, graduation ceremony, and more all in 48 hours.
I then came back to Virginia two days before the school year started and wrote my lesson plans and prepared for the first week of school. Greg arrived the following day with his rental truck filled with all of our furniture and goodies (I was living in a skeleton of an apartment for a few weeks until Greg came home). With one day to spare before the beginning of the school year, we got the truck unpacked and started setting up our home!
September:
The school year began without any real issues. I am absolutely loving my new school and have been lucky enough (again) to not only have one, but two wonderful classes. I am now team teaching so I teach math, science, and social studies then switch classes with the teacher across the hall then repeat. My school is absolutely incredible with loads of parent volunteers and tons of opportunity to volunteer in the community. I have a FIVE MINUTE commute. Amazing!!! I rode my bike to work last week and loved it!
Greg and I have settled into apartment living. We love the location and having a place of our own. Every weekend we ride our bikes to dinner or out on the boardwalk. This weekend was Neptune Fest and we went and explored and even bought new art work for our living room!
Our weekends are filled with catching up with friends, hanging out with family, football, and relaxing. It is amazing how fast the weekends always fly by! We have a ton of exciting events coming up the next few weekends so hopefully there will be more posts to come... Ana and Nick's wedding, JMU homecoming, and hopefully a camping trip!!!
Hope you all are enjoying the beginning of fall :) I love lighting my spiced pumpkin yankee candle every day :)
