(and I hope you like the subtle Halloween/Fall vibe Ive got going on this month.)
I.am.so.busy.
but I do love it. I could go on and on about what our weeks consist of but I not only do I not feel like reliving it nor do I want to type it all out. Mon-Thurs are a blur for us and when Friday rolls around there is no looking back. I do have to say I feel great about how Im doing in my classes though. I definitely had to put in a little extra work in the begining, just because I had been out of the game for so long. I would not suggest to anyone taking a two year break like I did, especially in a major like this. My physiology class is by far my biggest challenge but I am still managing to keep up (even got a B on my first test last week... proud mama moment!) I have also met some awesome people. I have a major major gap in my schedule on Tuesdays and Thursdays (10am-4pm) which has become my (forced) time to go to the gym and study.
Midterms just ended so I have a little time to breathe. Either way we ususally keep it pretty simple on the weekends. Gavin is working 50 hour weeks doing some harvest work at Sutter Home winery and the hours are a little whacky (2pm-10pm Sunday being his only day off). I am usually asleep by the time he gets home (Tuesdays and Thursdays Kenley and I are out the door at 6:45 am) so we only see each other on Friday and Saturday mornings.. and Sundays. He is currently in pursuit of a couple different jobs that he can put that UC degree to work in! (not all of which are in the area.. but Im totally open to leaving again!) :::fingers crossed::::
and Kenley LOVES school. And I cant say enough positive things about her preschool whenever someone asks. I get an email with a collage of pictures from her day every.single.evening. ...which I appreciate SO much. She is total mess by the end of every day. When I come pick her up she is always covered in a layer of some kind of paint, food or dirt.
Last week during one of my breaks, I came in and volunteered for a couple hours and I helped make salsa (all with veggies from the garden) with the kids and they all had their own little pair of kid friendly food cutting scissors... too cute.
Kenley is always talking about her little friends. I really feel like she is so happy there...so reassuring.
Wednesdays we dont have to leave the house until 8 (woohooo) so I usually try to dress Kenley (and sometimes even MYSELF) in something a little cuter than usual. I am going to try and take a picture every Wednesday on instagram and hashtag it under #whatsheworeonwednesday (thats "what she wore on wednesday)... that way we can also see how much she changes throughout the school year. I also will try and name where each piece of her outfit is from (which is always fun when people ask me because I would say at least 80% of it is either hand-me-down or thrifted... maybe Im just getting good at putting it all together :)
Like most nights, its a race to hit the hay. I know the second I fall behind on sleep its all going to fall apart!
hope all is well with everyone else too!
