Happy Friday!

So glad the weekend is finally upon us! It will be SO nice to sleep in tomorrow and do whatever we want! :D Here are this week's favorites and some other updates!

1) CLOSED- the regular school year is closed and everyone has moved out of my building! While I was sad to see my staff leave for the summer- I am SO happy to have a quiet hall, with nobody causing trouble :D I do have conferences in my building, but they are easy and quiet- at least for now.

2) DEADLOCKED- the new Sookie Stackhouse book that I have been waiting for since November came out this month. I didnt even bother to check the library on campus at first because I just knew it would be gone- good thing I decided to check anyway! I got it yesterday and am 100 pages in :D 

3) This guy:

4) and this guy:

He has learned to move the blinds with his head to look out the window. We have a stupid stray cat that likes to hang out in the bushes and he freaks out every time it's there- hence the standing and he was also whining. We started to ignore him in hopes he quits. Maybe eventually? He also does this with squirrels...

5) My brother! He is the sweetest son and brother ever. Yesterday was my mom's birthday and since my dad is gone now, these special days are always way harder. But my sweet brother took my mom out to dinner and to play pool. I dont think she's played in years! I know I am not there and I hate it, but at least I have an awesome brother who cares so much about my mom and takes good care of her :D that peace of mind definitely deserves a favorite place in my list!

6) Gretchen and John Fisher- Some of our cousins are expecting a baby!! She is due December 22nd and I couldnt be more excited for them! :D i cant wait to go visit and see her cute bump! Be praying for a smooth pregnancy and healthy baby!

7) Hair cut- I finally got a hair cut- I needed it BAD. My hair was so long. I love it long! It was just scraggly on the ends. The girl who cut my hair- one of my coworkers- ended up cutting 9 inches off! 9 inches! and my hair is still past my shoulders. I didnt realize how long my hair had gotten!! It's a little shorter than I wanted it- but it looks cute and it will grow back out :D It feels fuller and somehow looks lighter too. haha :D

8) AND MOST IMPORTANTLY- Krystal and Josh will be here next week. I am BEYOND excited!!

Other news:

- Our car hit 100,000! And now it's having trouble starting :( So now we need to fix that (not sure what's wrong with it yet) and the anti-lock break system (that's the orange light you see on. lol) . It's going to cost us a fortune. 

- Goodbyes- I had to say goodbye to some very special RAs this week :( I had 8 seniors graduate! Over the past few days they have been leaving slowly. Luckily some of them are working over the summer, so I have not had to say goodbye to them yet. But it was sad to say goodbye to the ones who did- I had a great staff this year. They really are what pulled me through it all.

That's it for now- Happy Friday Y'all!
