Praise the Lord for a school district that sees fit to give us a week off in October! I thoroughly enjoyed each day, filling in the big happenings of each day with skype dates with friends, writing letters, taking Piper for walks, laundry, cooking, and journaling.
A few pics from the week:
Mom, Bethany and I searching "for color" in the trees as we drove on the Blue Ridge Parkway. "Color" was the word of the day. I sat in the back seat and counted while Bethany and Mom said the word "color" 32 times in one day.
Mom and I did a spontaneous stop on our way home at Cumberland Falls. Neither of us had been there before- It is beautiful!
We had the blessing of getting to go to a U of L Football game with Celia and Felix last night. All of us had free tickets given to us by various people, which was great :) It was perfect football weather, a little nippy but not too bad. I cheered for the Band and learned lots of Portuguese phrases. Sunergos coffee (chai for me!) and Mark's Feed Store made the night complete!Also, yesterday during the day I got to visit my old school and see the students I worked with the past two years. Unfortunately, I can't put pics of them on my blog, but they are adorable. It brings great joy to my heart to share in some big hugs with these kidos, although each time I visit I have to answer the question, (all caps means signed) "MS. ASHLEY- WHY YOU GO DIFFERENT SCHOOL?" "YOU COME BACK MONDAY?" :( No, sweet friends, I won't be back monday, but I love visiting you whenever I get the chance!
Love how much fall is in this post ! Also, i'm loving the scarf (one of the basics to "artsy" attire in my book) in the pic with your mom and sis :) miss you!
