Happy Veterans Day :)

...Another day off school :) Though, I must admit, I use the word "off" very loosely. While I didn't have to wake up early and drive into work, I still spent a good portion of the day getting caught up on grading and working on the online class I needed to take this year in order to transfer my teaching license to Arizona. (Thankfully, I have just under a month of the class left. I'm not a huge fan of online classes.) Luckily, there was some fun involved in my day off. Last night, Rob and I ordered pizza and watched Transformers 2. We watched the first movie (and ate homemade pizza!) last Friday and I liked both a lot more than I expected. Rob maintains that there is hope for me yet. (He doesn't quite approve of the length of the list of his favorite movies that I still haven't seen.) I also baked a loaf of homemade bread this afternoon and may have accidentally talked myself into buying a pair of shoes on sale at Target. They are blue and gray plaid and will look wonderful when I wear school colors each Friday :)

Rob and I are headed up to Flagstaff to celebrate his birthday and enjoy a little bit of fall this weekend. Everyone in Phoenix claims that fall in Flagstaff comes in mid-November and I'm ridiculously excited for colored leaves. I am seriously hoping that everyone is right though because weather.com says it is going to get down to 15 degrees on Saturday night! That's artic cold for sure! Initially, we had planned on making the weekend a camping trip, but when we officially decided to go to Flagstaff, changed our minds, figuring a day hike and hotel would be best...for me at least, and in turn, Rob's happiness :) I will hopefully have some beautiful pictures from the weekend to post next week!

Okay, I am off to deal with my bread that is about done baking and also Rob will be home from work in a few minutes. Hope all is well by you all...look forward to Flagstaff pictures early next week! Love, Sarah and Rob
