What's Up Wednesday

Today I'm joining the link up with Shay, Mel, and Sheaffer. The last Wednesday of every month they host What's Up Wednesday!

 

What I'm Eating This Week

 

Monday: My Dad brought home by favorite BBQ of all time for my birthday :)

Tuesday: We had dinner with Alex's dad and uncle, we had the BEST chicken enchiladas.

Wednesday:  My Mom is cooking tonight, I'm sure whatever she whips up will be amazing!

Thursday: I'm going to dinner with my collge roomies, dang I miss those girls! We're meeting at Drake's for dinner and drinks!

Friday: I'm going with Alex to his cousin, Nikki's house for pumkin carving and a fire, so we'll bring appetizers and just snack! (If anyone has any easy, yummy app recipes send them my way!)

 

What I'm Reminiscing About

 

Monday was my Birthday and since I turned 24 on the 24th it was my "golden" birthday!

 

 

I have the BEST family, friends and boyfriend ever! I know I've said that before but y'all, they made me feel like one special girl this weekend!

What I'm Loving

Fall.

I love everything that comes with it! Football and tailgating, fall food (give me all the chili), the colors, the leaves, the cozy clothes, the pumpkin spice everything lattes!

 

Another thing I'm loving right now is my new Yeti cup I got from my girls Kate and Lauren for my birthday! Then, to make it even better, Kate used this SUPER cool machine to print out the cutest monogram for it!!!

 



What I've Been Up To

Planning!

Lesson planning, planning my birthday weekend, planning my Halloween costume, helping my girl Kate plan her engagement party!

I love lists, so anytime I am planning something I make a list or three :)

What I'm Dreading

Getting cold outside!

It makes it so much harder to get out of bed in the mornings when it's cold. And then having to bundle up to get into your freezing cold car, not to mention having to scrape the ice from the windsheild.. can it just stay 60 degrees until spring?!

 

What I'm Working On

My Christmas Lists.

Told y'all I make a lot of lists :) I'm making my shopping list for all my peeps.. as well as my list of what I would love to recieve! I can't even believe I'm thinking about Christmas... wasn't it just summer like yesterday?!

What I'm Excited About

 

 I'M GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!!!

 

Alex and I were invited to go to Disney World with our friends Katelyn and Austin for New Year's Eve!!! I am SOOOO excited! Austin and his family are Disney World fanatics and know all the ins and outs, special spots, and pretty much everything about this magical place, so I'm pumped to be able to go with them !! 

 

 

What I'm Watching/Reading

 

Along with all the other great fall things, fall TV rocks as well! I'm watching This Is Us, Grey's Anatomy, Quantico, Notorious, and of course all the Housewives!! I'm anxiously awaiting the return of the new season of Vanderpump Rules!

 

I got some GREAT book suggestions and thanks to my friend Meagan's recommendation, I bought "The Hand that Feeds You". I am just starting it, so I will report back and tell you what I thought!

 

 

Also, I'm reading "Heidi" with my 4th graders. It is such a classic, and they really seem it to be enjoying it!

 

What I'm Listening To

 

In my classroom, we listen to Pandora all.day.long. My students love having background music and it actually helps with noise control, so it's a win win in my book :)

 

Okay, this is super random.. but I've been loving listening to morning radio shows on the way to school! They are funny, and sometimes ridiculous but I can't stop listening! The Kane Show on 98.9 is my jam.

 

What I'm Wearing

 

I've been wanting a Kendra Scott necklace for forever, so I was super excited when I opened my gift from Alex and saw it :) It is perfect, he did so good!!! I've worn it everyday since I got it!

 

Also, I haven't been wearing this.. but I hope to soon! I'm on the hunt for a cute poncho!! I want one that has color but that is also neutral.. Does that even exisit? Maybe this is why I can't find one I love! I think I'll head to the outlet mall one day after school and search for the perfect one :) 

 

 

 What I'm Doing This Weekend

 

Friday, Alex's cousin Nikki is having a pumpkin carving, fire pit family get together. I'm looking forward to having a low key Friday night hanging out enjoying fall activities!

Saturday our friends Danielle and Zach are having a big Halloween party out on their farm! I can't wait to share our costume with you guys next week :)

 

What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month

 

November.. THANKSGIVING!!!!

 

Thanksgiving is such a great holiday.. you get to hang with family and eat! What could be better?!

 

 

 

 

 What's Your Favorite Halloween Memory/Tradition/Picture

 

Last week I told y'all about how much I love dressing up, that is my favorite part about Halloween but I shared way too many pictures then, so I'll share my Halloween traditions from when I was young instead!

 

Each year on Halloween, my family would go over to my cousins, Lauren and Christina's to trick-or-treat! My Aunt Ellen made chili and we ate quickly so we could get outside!  Then our Dads would take us around their neighborhood to load up our bags full of candy! *I remember always loving going to one specific house in their neighborhood because they gave out toothbrushes. Hahah... She was a dentist, so she reminded us to brush our teeth after eating all the sugar! * Funny the things you remember! So much fun, I have always loved Halloween!

 

Have a great Wednesday friends :)

 

Xoxo,
