What's up Wednesday

Happy Wednesday to you! Today I’m sharing a hodge podge post covering things from what I’ve been reminiscing about lately, to what I’ve been loving. Here we go!

what I'm eating...

Did you know that you can add on a “take home entree” from Olive Garden for only $6? For those of us that aren’t big fans of cooking, this is such a gift! With a salad or some vegetables, this can last me a few meals!

what I’m reminiscing about...

Fall lake day always makes me realize just how fast the school year is going & how much I'll miss the 8th grade class next year. This year's 8th grade class has a special place in my heart because they were 6th graders when I started working here. They're the first class that I've gotten to see go from 6th grade all the way through 8th grade. I'm going to miss them a lot next year!

what I'm loving...

Pumpkin everything!! I LOVE pumpkin! My sister, Avery feels the same way so we have been trying all the pumpkin things!

Do yourself a favor & get these pumpkin bagels from Trader Joes! Toasted with cream cheese, so good!

& these pumpkin cookies from Target are delicious!

The iced pumpkin spice latte from McDonalds is a win!

& so is the pumpkin smoothie from Smoothie King!

Any other pumpkin things I need to try?

what I’ve been up to...

I’ve spent the last few months trying to get to as many of my little sister’s things as possible. Since she is a senior this year, I know my time of getting to watch her participate in things is running out. Beyond thankful that I live close enough to make it to her volleyball senior night.

& Homecoming!

Plus as many regular games/tournaments as possible! I absolutely love being a big sister!!

I’ve also been spending lots of time with these girls! I can’t believe football season is almost over! We starting working on basketball cheers this week! Crazy!

what I’m dreading vs. what I’m excited about...

This weekend is my birthday. Isn’t it crazy how they just don’t feel quite as fun as they did when you were little? I guess I am dreading that a bit, but I’m also excited at the same time because my family is all heading to Manhattan that day to cheer on the Kansas State Wildcats for Homecoming! Honestly this pic might be me on Saturday.. what? I’m 26!! How?

what I'm watching / reading...

I’ve been watching a lot of football lately… high school football, college football & of course, the Chiefs!

I have really not been reading since school started, but I need to get back into it. I think part of my problem is that I don’t love the book I’m reading, but I’m too far in to turn back now. Have you read this one? Ready to be done with it!

what I'm listening to...

We have been in a four week sermon series about the verse Jeremiah 29:11 & I have really liked it. So I have been listenting to it when I drive. You can watch or listen to the series here if you are interested!
