Fall is in the air!

Just a quick note... Last night Steve and I had grilled cheese sandwiches accompanied by tomato soup.. we both definitely agreed that it felt like a fall night. Then woke up to rain this morning, so it's official, fall is arriving!

Photo Contest Update
First of all, THANK YOU to all who voted for us!! We brought in such an amazing amount of votes! However, we came in close at second place. A beautiful mama won with her amazingly gorgeous maternity pose. What a great memory for her to have! However, Whitney was so kind to give us a great second place prize. An 11x14 print of our choice. After some decisions, we've decided what picture to go with and where we are going to put it. Stay tuned!

Back to School
Many have already returned to school, others hit the ground running this week. I however am hitting up the sub-site and searching for some jobs. Already have a half day scheduled for tomorrow, wish me luck!

Labor Day Weekend
After a nice (somewhat) long weekend, Steve and I feel very accomplished. The outside of the house is officially done! We finished up the trim, cleaned the sky-light windows, touched up our blemishes on the house and sat back and admired. We love what the exterior of the house has become! After a few months (3 to be exact) of hard work, sweat and tears, we are done! Phew...

Monday we took some time for "us." This included watching some movies, a luxury we have not had for quite some time now. We watched When in Rome, Clash of the Titans, and The Backup Plan. Thank goodness for free redbox movie Mondays!

Putting Things to Rest

After a LOOOOOOONG 12 weeks working a Long-Term Sub Job, Friday April 30th, I finally put that job to rest. It was a great learning experience and I wouldn't have traded all that I was taught and taught for the world. Thank you Monica for having your baby!!

Weekends in our opinion go by WAAAAAAAAAAY too fast! Steve has Sunday's and Monday's off, so as a treat to myself, this weekend I took Monday off with him... And now we are putting our weekend to rest. We thought we had our bed sold (didn't turn out to be the correct size as the couple had wanted... should I be checking Steve's Craig's List posts??) Kind of a bummer, but when it's meant to be it'll happen. Spent a quality date day up on the mountain shooting, got our errands all taken care of, and even had time to relax with a movie (which is nearly unheard of in our life).

Steve is currently at his Monday evening ritual-- drill for the fire district... My motherly duties are officially completed, dogs have been tucked in and put to rest for the night...

As I listen to them snore already (yes it usually only takes a few moments) it is time to grab a good book and curl up to read (something that is also a bit unheard of in my life lately) while I await the arrival of my cuddle buddy. ♥

Just Another Manic Monday....

Mondays seem to come quicker and quicker these days... Is there any way to make them slow down?!
*Although I am basically complaining that my weekend went by too fast and I am not happy with the fact that I am at work while my man enjoys his typical Monday off without me, I am feeling very energized and tackled the day head on, unlike most Mondays and days in general. This I am happy about!

BINGO!
Last night Steve and I joined some members of his family and went to the local bingo hall. It was a blast!!! I have always had a secret love for bingo, but have never really revealed it to anyone, until I knew that Steve would accept me. (gotta love him for that!) We had tickets coming out our ears last night! And during some points of the night it was almost impossible to keep up! Our score by the end of the night:

Steve: $25 Sabrina: $0

Oh well, it was fun! We definitely plan to go again! (or at least I do, and Steve will find out soon enough!)
