It has been a busy last few weeks! I started the new school year, officially as a 2nd grade teacher and I can say (at least so far) that I am enjoying it much better than kinder! The year has gone well so far, but its only been 4 days. Teachers started on August 17 for workshops and such. I spent a lot of time getting my room together and meeting all of my parents before the school year actually started.
Al and I just got back from a trip up to Schaumburg, my new favorite suburb. We made another trip to IKEA (love this place) and of course when you are in Schaumburg you have to go to Woodfield Mall... awesome, awesome mall! Al got a new Bears jersey.... and I got some things for my classroom (can you see where our priorities are?) haha
Last week was a pretty big football week for us. We got tickets from the Butera's to see the Bears' last pre-season game at Soldier Field and then we were back home in L-town for the first Purdue football game with my parents. We tailgated at the Purdue game and had a blast! Plus, both teams came out with a win!

Go Bears!
Below are a few of our engagement pictures that we took up here in Chicago in August. Hopefully we'll be sending out our "Save the Dates" sometime this fall!
Have a great weekend!

Aw man! Wish I would've known you guys were up at PU last weekend, I could've rode up with Jake on his way to work and met you there. I spent the day at home tailgating on the couch LOL :)
P.S. I like the updated blog look!
