A Bachelorette Celebration!

Last week I got over my cold and then Thursday morning it came back in FULL force! I was miserable! I had a bachelorette party to go to during the weekend that I didn't want to miss. I'm the type of person that even if I'm sick I won't miss out on things. When I told the girls I might not make it they were like "WOW!! You must really be feeling sick". Well, Friday afternoon came around and I felt a little better, so of course I decided to go! I'm so glad I didn't miss out on the fantastic weekend I had celebrating the bride to be, Whitney! We went to The Funny Bone Comedy Club on Friday night. I think our cheeks hurt so bad from laughing when we left. Saturday, we took Whit on a scavenger hunt/trip down memory lane. The very last destination she opened a letter that her future hubby wrote to her. She read it out loud and we all had tears running down our faces. It was too sweet. Then, we dressed in our nautical outfits and we went to a couple of fun bars where Whit was serenaded and they dedicated songs to her. Here are some great photos from the amazing weekend!

They called her up on stage and made her take a shot! Haha! 

The hysterical comedian! He came out dancing to a girlie song with his shirt off! We lost it! Haha!

Scavenger hunt!

The gorgeous bachelorette and I!

The fabulous Mrs. who made the entire weekend perfect for Whit!

The Rest of The School Year!

This week was the first week of the rest of the school year for me!! I'm subbing the rest of the year in a first grade classroom for a teacher who is having a baby. I got the text Monday morning that she had had her baby! The students were so excited!!! Even though this class is a bit of a challenge, I absolutely love it!! The staff are all sooooo nice!! Today, I got a key to the classroom and to the school (every substitute's DREAM)!!! I also, got an official Staff badge that all of the teachers wear!!! I was so happy and excited!! I feel pretty official now!  :)

Interviews In Mind

We are getting closer to the end of the school year and being a substitute who wants to become a teacher, I'm trying to look more professional to work, so schools can see me and notice me as a good candidate if they have a job opening. Also, I have been filling out many job applications lately, so it makes me think of what I would wear for an interview. I've been looking at interview outfits on Pinterest and browsing through my closet for some good ideas. I would love to get some advice from my lovely fashionista blogging friends, what would you wear to an interview? I'd love to get some great ideas from all of you!!

Fresh New Look!!

So...I told you I was thinking about cutting my hair...well I did!!! I got 6 inches cut off!! I was SUPER nervous that I would regret it, but I'm loving it so far! My ponytail is so cute now!! Haha! Wally didn't think I would do it and he's not a big fan of change, but he actually loved it. I was shocked! He said I look more sophisticated and that it's beautiful (I love him). He also got a hair cut, so we both are freshly groomed. Haha! It's great not having to take breaks when drying my hair now (I got so hot!). I'm loving my new Spring/Summer look! I hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Beautiful Day Ending In Storms

This constant weather change has caused me to have a terrible cold this week. I lost my voice this weekend and thankfully it was back for teaching on Monday. Then, it turned into constantly blowing my nose and coughing with terrible sinus headaches. I ended up taking the day off today to rest, but also to fill out teaching applications (yes...it's that time of year again). I have been too exhausted to blog this week. I definitely needed this day to rest up and I feel so much better already, the reason I'm back and blogging. It got into the 80's today and it was sunny!! Can you believe it?? But wait. As I'm typing, the sky is getting darker and darker though, which means big storms are on their way. Booo...I thought we were done with this rainy weather! 

Tomorrow is Friday! TGIF! I'm getting my hair cut and colored! I love love love getting my hair cut and colored. I've thought a lot this week about getting a few inches cut off my hair for the Spring/Summer. I have been growing out my hair for SO long, I'm in need of a change. Do you ever get that way about your hair? I feel like every two or so years I have to try something different with my hair, whether it's a different color or a different cut.  I am pretty nervous about cutting my hair, but I just keep thinking it's just hair it will grow back. Haha. I might chicken out. We'll see! Have a wonderful Friday everybody!! I know I will (getting pampered at the hair salon)!
