Life has officially gotten super crazy for us Happy Hineys...thought I would write a quick update for those of you that read along :)
*I've been working for about 2 1/2 weeks, and am really enjoying being back in an elementary school setting. It has been fun waking up with Tim most days, making coffee, reading the Bible, and having breakfast before heading off to work - and spending the day with some awesome teachers, kids, and staff. Highlights so far - one child told me "I wish you were my mom", catching up with people I knew three years ago, and teaching again! We have tomorrow off for Rosh Hashanah, and I will be spending the day clearing out our storage unit.
*We have decided to stay with Peter and Katie for awhile - therefore the storage unit items will be moved into the storage unit known as my old bedroom at my parent's house.
*I went to NYC for Katie's bachelorette - we shopped, ate delicious food, drank champagne, took a limo, and danced...it was fun :)
*I made 6 Apple Pies for Sarah's wedding next weekend...and I still have 6 Pumpkin Pies to make.
*Peter and Katie are getting married Saturday! We are heading up to Vermont, and we are going to dance the night away!
*Tim's job is going well, and he gets to be on the next project with Peter as well...they get to build another hospital - cool right? I'm so proud of him :)
*We are slowly thinking about buying a house.
*Sarah and John are getting married Columbus Day...so excited for a new brother-in-law!
Think that about sums it up...pictures from the weddings to come!

Back to School, Back to School
Tomorrow I start my new job!
I am going to be working as a permanent building substitute at Riverfield Elementary in Fairfield. It is the same school I interned in, so I already know some people there. I can't wait to get back to work, and back to working in a school again!
This job is a great opportunity for me to get back in a classroom again, and I am so looking forward to it.
I'll update soon on how it goes!

Sarah's Bachelorette
For my sis in law, Sarah, we decided to skip the crazy club scene typical of Bachelorette parties, and took a ride up to the beautiful Berkshire mountains in Massachusetts. Six of us ladies took in the sights at Jacob's Pillow, a dance theatre place in MA. We saw an interesting modern dance show at the Inside/Out theatre which had such an amazing view, while sipping red wine and snacking on delicious homemade guac! We then explored the grounds of Jacob's Pillow, and even had our photo snapped for their website (Sarah was dressed up in a sash and tiara!).
After the performance, we headed to a cabin we had rented on a lake and chowed down on a delicious homemade Paleo-friendly dinner, courtesy of Lisa and I. After dinner, we had some present opening, dessert eating, and girl talk. It was such a fun evening to just hang out with some fun ladies!
In the morning, we had a yummy breakfast and took a beautiful long walk around the lake.
We returned home to go to Peter's surprise construction-themed birthday party, and stay indoors to prepare for the hurricane.
Happy days, Ms. Sarah Hine, can't wait to celebrate you and John on Oct. 10th! :)

Hurricane Irene
On Saturday night/Sunday morning, Hurricane Irene came through Connecticut - and left lots of destruction in its wake. Thankfully, everyone we know is safe and their houses are safe.
We lost power at the house we are staying at, and still don't have it back, although our friends bought a generator, so we now do have lights & water. It is amazing what you take for granted. We can now see at night, shower, and cook again, yay! (Although, the last few candlelit nights were romantical haha) We saw lots of downed trees and power lines...and even drove under a huge tree, and saw boiled pavement...our friend saw people kayaking down the street by the beach!
Still no cable, which means no internet or tv...I'm sitting at Starbucks to get some things done :)
There was a TON of damage in Quechee,VT where we got married and where my parent's condo is. Thankfully the condo is ok (we think), but Simon Pierce got flooded (the glass blowing room was destroyed), and the bridge was half washed out...it is so sad to think of that beautiful place ruined.
Well, that is it for now...hope you all have power and are doing well!
