Update

I start my new job tomorrow and I'm surprisingly calm about it. 15 kindergartners and two teachers? Bring it on! I can totally handle it. Overcoming my social-awkwardness and making a good impression on my coworkers? That's a little more of a struggle. It will be great, though. I love the girls I have met so far. I love the idea of being forced to get out of the house for four hours a day. And, I love the idea of paying off some of the credit card debt that being an unemployed homeowner going through college has created.

I'm also getting really excited to see the pictures we had taken two weeks ago. I'm hoping we will get to see them soon. We had a photo shoot with Justin Hackworth, and lets be honest, he is just amazing so I know we will have some wonderful pictures to record this part of our lives.

And since I promised the menu for my Halloween Party here it is:
Stuffed Mushrooms
Pesto and Swiss Pastry Pinwheels
Jalapeno Popper Crostini
Caramelized Onion Dip
Caprese Salad
Mutt Mix
Cookies
...and to drink we had Purple People Eaters and Pumpkin Martinis
The Jalapeno Popper Crostini was amazing and easy so just let me know if you would like the recipe, or any of the others.

This weekend we also hung the ever-fabulous headboard. I still haven't taken any pictures, but get excited. It's lovely. This is the tablecloth we used to cover it. I have a little obsession with using target tablecloths in lieu of fabric because they are thick, come in super cute patterns, and are much cheaper than upholstery fabric.
