I know I'm not the only one thinking that because I've asked around.
I haven't been out of the house much today (which is good because the rain was really coming down earlier) - I've been watching college football, grading, and making slides/videos for the upcoming week of Religion classes. It was a lot of work, but I feel confident that I'll be getting the week off on a strong foot through the preparation.

(Tomorrow I will need to catch up with grad school stuff - and by "catch up", I really mean "get ahead so I don't get behind." Story. of. my. life.)
Last night was a ton of fun - I hung out with a few friends from church and also ran into some familiar faces (mostly other ACErs/ACE grads):
No complaints from the weekend so far. And with apple picking (and Mass) tomorrow, life is pretty darn sweet.
But before I close, I would be remiss to ignore the October 1st feast of St. Therese of Lisieux (better known to some as "Therese, the Little Flower" or "Saint of the Little Way"). Happy Confirmation Saint day feast to my sister and me!
St. Therese is such a great model of faith for so many reasons, and this year I joined others in praying a novena to her for vocations - it was helpful to have a way to hold myself accountable (even if it was through coloring):
St. Therese, pray for us!
One more day of the weekend before a short week with students - yay for professional development on Friday!
What a great way to track which day of the novena you're on! I thought I was on top of things with a recurring daily task reminder, but mine doesn't look pretty at the end.
