My kiddos come to me on Friday!!! I have two teacher work days on Wednesday and Thursday, so I officially have two full days of summer left. Gabe is taking those days off so we can spend some quality time together before I get back to working full time. I have to tell you, I have loved my summer vacation. I feel refreshed and rested for another year with my fifth graders. It might be hard getting back to the "busyness", but I know I will adjust.
Here are the highlights of my summer, in no particular order:
1. Waking up whenever I wanted to.....the type A personality in me still set alarms though.
2. Reading novels (I read about five this summer! That's good for me!) outside in my blue lawn chair
3. Going to Chicago to the Willow Creek Creative Arts Conference in June with some of my best friends
4. Planning Gabe's birthday party and then the party itself
5. The multiple trips up to Milford to hang out with my family.....sometimes Gabe would go but there were many times when I just went by myself
6. Going to King's Island with the kids in our church
7. Babysitting little Josiah on Thursdays and the times I spent afterwards with his mom, Marcia
8. The afternoon when Kylee, Marcia, and I played with Josiah in his kiddie pool in our swimsuits while eating Dilly Bars
9. Working on home decorating projects around the house.....
10. I loved spending time with Gabe and not having school distract my mind. We went to Cinncinatti to celebrate our one year anniversary.....that was the best trip! Short and sweet! I just think my husband is really cool and fun to be with. He's made my summer a good one.
And now, I am on to another adventure: a new school year. Yes, I am excited and anxious, but this year I have more peace about what will come my way and I hope to become a better teacher. I am praying for wisdom from the Lord every day in knowing how to best help my 21 students......you can be praying, too!
It's off to making Snickerdoodles now......Gabe's been craving them! :)
