It's been a busy week starting with last weekend and my first bachelorette party! My sisters threw a party for me in Appleton before the school year started! We started the day off by heading to the spa to get pampered and later out for dinner, drinks and some dancing! It was so much fun to get some of my best friends together for a girl's night! Everyone had a blast! Here are a few pictures from the night...

This past week has been so busy heading back to school! I absolutely love my 3rd graders! I have such a sweet class this year and so far everything has been going great! Going into my 2nd year in 3rd grade I was so much more relaxed and confident. My first year of teaching was definitely a roller coaster kind of year. It was also nice to have the summer to really plan and think about the curriculum and create new lessons to use on the smart board. I am so lucky to have my own smart board in my classroom. It has changed the way I teach and the kids love it!
It's also been nice to get back into the school year and not focusing so much on the wedding! Andy was ready for me to head back to work as well! He said I was getting obsessed with wedding planning! ;) I don't have the time like I did during the summer, but that hasn't stopped the planning. I had several phone calls this week, the flower girl dress is in, champagne flutes are in, and on and on....not to mention my mom calling several times about this and that! :)
Luckily all of the big things are set...but I know there will still be a lot to plan! I'm very excited for my shower in the U.P. on Sept. 20th weekend. Andy has also set his bachelor party date for the Penn State at Wisconsin football weekend...I believe October 10th.
The weather seems to be heading towards fall here as we've had cooler low 70 degree days. Andy, Whitney, Kurt and I headed to the Wisconsin vs. Marshall football game today. I love this time of year, and living in Madison and being around Badger football makes it so much more fun! Although we're Michigan fans all the way, it's hard not to get excited at the Badger games. Wisconsin people are crazy about their sports and it's contagious!
Andy is standing in Eric and Lauren's wedding next weekend so we're going to have a busy Sept with that and the shower....but that's nothing out of the ordinary for us!
