Almost time!!

School has officially started! I'm sitting here on this gorgeous 81 degree weather writing lesson plans and grading assessments. The life of a teacher. This first school week was absolutely one of the best! My sweet little first graders are so precious! I have fallen in love with each and every one of them! I'm very excited to see what this school year has in store!

I'm also very excited because on Monday when I get home from work I will finally be seeing this face

I am beyond excited and counting down the days and hours (1 day 10 hours). I went to the beautiful state of Connecticut to visit for a few days in July. He signed us up for a tour of ESPN. Once that finished up he bought me a late lunch at the ESPN Cafe, where he introduced me to a turkey, avocado, and fried egg sandwich. Don't knock it. It was actually pretty good!

We went to NYC for 2 days and enjoyed every minute of it. We have found, however, that living in the city is not ideal for us, but living just a train ride away is divine. While there he graciously let me get my teacher fix here

Seriously. A teacher's dream. AND teachers get an extra 15% off every day. Needless to day, I was pretty excited. We also stopped to get a Crumbs cupcake to share. 

We walked the Brooklyn Bridge and into the beautiful neighborhoods of Brooklyn where we came upon a small Italian bistro. We fell in love with it. Homemade pasta and wonderful people was what this bistro was all about.

Then, to indulge Stefan we went here where we spent about 2 hours just walking through the store and viewing all of the photography and cinematography equipment. We're tech nerds of course. 

My boyfriend is handsome, and I am very ready to see him Monday. I'm even making him a welcome home cheesecake (his favorite dessert). I'm such a good girlfriend!
