Home Sweet School.

I have been severely lacking on the blog posts lately. But really, what's new?

Actually a lot is new. I'm back at school. Moved into my apartment. Starting student teaching to Kindergarteners on Tuesday. Things are moving at their unusually rapid pace once again.

I swear, the days go by so much faster in Minnesota.

I miss home too. I am always so torn between where I want to be. I don't want to be home, working, missing my friends and Noah. But I also don't want to be here, away from my family and familiar home and surroundings. I guess both places are home and yet both places are not. I am content in both places and yet I am discontent in some ways. But I am trying to live fully in the moment, wherever I am, and I am thankful for this place I call my home [right now]. Our apartment is the cutest ever (pictures to come...as long as things stop falling off the walls.)

I am very nervous about school and the upcoming semester, but just a little bit ready for it to be in full motion.
This is my favorite time of year for so many reasons. The cooler, cozy weather. The celebration of mine and Noah's 3 years together. Mine, my roommate's, and Noah's birthdays. New beginnings. The state fair. Changing colors. Football and soccer games. School being too new to resent. I love it all. And knowing that this is my last year to ever be a student is a bittersweet feeling.

I know this is going to be my best year yet.

I hope all of you are enjoying this season as well, whether it brings new things or continues in a predictable pattern =).

xx,
Ashley
