Five for Friday

I'm linking up with Doodlebugs Teaching once again to bring you another Five for Friday post.

About a month ago I shared with you what I had been up to this summer.. well here is some more of what I've been up to this summer..

1.

Going to the lake.

John's parents own a cabin so that's usually the lake we go to.  Every September long my family has a family gathering at a different lake though... so we headed out that way last weekend.

2.

Fishing.

I didn't end up catching a single fish this year.

3.

Marriage Counseling.

We've been meeting with our pastor every couple of weeks and going through this book together.  One more meeting left and then it's practically wedding time!

For anyone who is debating on whether to do marriage counseling I would highly recommend it.  At the very least find a book for you to work through together. I found the book has a lot of questions that I wouldn't have even thought to talk about (until maybe it became an issue in the marriage)

4.

Lots and lots of wedding planning.

According to our gift registry we only have 35 days left!

5.

Horse Racing.

My sister got married yesterday in Hawaii (so only parents went) but for her bachelorette party we all got dolled up and stuck a big hat on our heads to go place some bets on some horses.

School started back up this week (which is apparently later than most) and my first day back in a classroom is on Monday (it will actually be multiple classrooms to cover meetings the teachers are attending).  It's at a school I frequented and I'm thankful I managed to get a couple of days within the first week back!
