October Update

My October started with a trip to Metro and a block of cheese purchase. No, this cheese is not only mine. We divided it between four apartments, which yes is still quite a bit of cheese. I got a big kick out of how huge it was and I entertained myself with some pictures. I ended up using some of this cheese to make a homemade pizza. My roommate, Kristen, and I invited a Chinese neighbor over for pizza and a game of Uno. Of course Angel had the usual beginner's luck and won both hands. It was a fun filled evening and and encouragement to me.


At school we had bling bling day. I enjoyed participating and so did many of my students. I was surprised by some of the bling I saw. I had a west coast bling girl and I also had some princesses and such. Parent teacher conferences ended our month at school. Those always make me a little nervous, but they ended up going well. Volleyball ended this month with a sleep over and cinnamon roll making party. The girls that were able to make it had a blast as did I. I especially enjoyed eating the cinnamon rolls.


Life continues to be enjoyable and I'm thankful for that. My weekends consist of Skype dates with Zack and movie nights with the girls. I went to the theater this month and saw a movie on the big screen. It was intense, but fun to go the movies. I get to go to Hong Kong in about a month for a conference and while I'm there I'll get to see Zack. Just a little excited about that trip. There are only 6 1/2 weeks before Christmas break...which seems like no time at all. When I do these big updates I seem to forget everything that has happened throughout the month.
