Another Monday morning of our busy, busy, crazy people season :] We were so, so thankful to have this past weekend OFF. It’s only the second weekend of school so we haven’t quite adjusted to having school back in session yet. Especially because the first week of school is just bonkers for us! David started teaching, meaning he’s on campus for 2 days every week, and we’re both back to meeting with students and having CRU events take up a large portion of our lives again. So needless to say, a rainy weekend indoors was so vital to us! (and so was September 1st aka Harry Potter day pictured below)

Here’s the even crazier thing: we’ve got TODAY and TOMORROW to fit in all our work for the week and then we’re headed to San Diego to celebrate my friend’s wedding! EEK! We’re so glad we get to go celebrate with some old friends and to experience the West Coast…but goodness do we have a lot to do before then! It’s gonna be great once we get there :] And then we get to fly back and shoot a wedding on Sunday. Phew. People tell us our lives are crazy and I’m finally starting to believe them.

Thankfully this weekend was just what we needed. After a crazy week of figuring out our schedule and me smashing by phone to smithereens by running it over with a car and needing to get it replaced, we spent the weekend snuggling and eating yummy carbs and adventuring with our little guy. Have I mentioned we’re obsessed with the Children’s Museum in Roanoke? It’s full of make believe for Ollie and we LOVE taking him there. I’ve included some of my favorite snaps of him on Saturday below. The one of him on the phone makes me want to cry with laughter hahah. It looks like he had a deal go wrong at work and he’s trying to figure out what to do.

All that to say, this is a very jumbled feels and now I’ll include some more feels below :]

• On Tuesday evening, I got to speak to a ton of freshmen about trajectory and making your time in college count and how God changed my life in college. Oh man. I always get so nervous to do public speaking, but it’s so worth it. So thankful for a job where I get to be reminded of my story over and over and over.
• Yeah, so I ran my phone over with a car twice on Tuesday. And then went through a 2 day process to get it fixed including a 2.5 hour call with Apple. Sigh. It’s crazy how much ruining your phone derails your life. But at the same time, it had me wishing I could disconnect completely for a few days.
• Fall has arrived, y’all. I don’t even care that it’s going to be 85 degrees today. I’m embracing it after one cold, rainy weekend. It’s time to break out some sweaters and light some candles :]
• On September 1st, we walked into Target with Ollie in his badger sweatshirt and were immediately asked if he was wearing it in honor of Hufflepuff. Heck yes. Harry Potter toddler life.
• Tell us, WHAT should we be doing in San Diego! We’ve really only got one day, but I need ALL your recommendations :]
