...one month later...

Y'all. This poor little blog has been so neglected this summer (particularly this past month). 

I'm finishing up full-time grad school and summer session #2 was quite a doozy!!

...thus the lack of blogging.

The fall semester begins again on Monday, though, so YAY! Almost done.

In the absence of blogging, I've really been loving Instagram as a quick and "on-the-go" way to keep up with my teacher friends and all kinds of classroom happenings. Click {here} to find my account!

I would just love to get to know you!

I'm linking up today with Doodle Bugs Teaching for one of my favorite parties!

This linky seems like a great way to ease back in to regular(ish) blogging--and I've also just been really into linky parties this summer. They're so much fun and a lovely way to meet other teachers!

Anyways, here are five little snapshots from my week!

1:

If you knew me in real life, you'd know that I'm a natural light + lamp person. Overhead lights are just a little too much for me! Anyone else?! Well, I just moved into a new house and my room has THE BEST windows! Seriously--look at it!!!

2:

Sometimes, when a friend comes to Texas for the very first time, you bring a pink cowboy hat complete with tiara to the airport (along with a sign that says howdy!), because...well...why not?!?

She loved it, by the way.

At the beginning of this week, TpT hosted a HUGE back to school sale--and I love a good sale!

My wishlist was more than 8 pages so I was really excited to snag some products I've been wanting.

Thanks, teacher friends!!

Haha, this was random. A friend and I were chatting at one of our favorite local coffee shops, when all of a sudden, a camera guy asked if he could film us for a promo video! Hilarious. We said yes, got our five seconds of fame, and a free cup of iced coffee!

Sidenote: I love iced coffee. I just learned how to make it and think it is so much better at home!!!

5:

And lastly, but certainly not least, this beauty. 

With every single sunset and sunrise, I am awed by God's creativity!

Psalm 19:1

Well folks, that's all I have for today!

Plus, it's 11:57pm. 

Enjoy your weekend!!

*I just realized that comment verification was turned on! It makes the commenting process a wee bit longer, so I have turned it off. I found a really simple tutorial {here} from Lisa! She blogs over at Learning is Something to Treasure, so comment away, friends! 

I really really love getting to know you!!
