My Chair Awaits...

Another one bites the dust! I can't believe I have survived 6 whole years of teaching. This was a fast and busy year with a few exciting moments and a few little bumps, changes, and new things along the way. I'm excited to have formed a few new friendships this year as well. After some major cleaning up in the music office yesterday and this morning, changing my first ever diaper (Audrie came to school this morning!!), and getting all checked out, I spent my first free afternoon doing a little bit of shopping for a little summer attire (new bathing suit included-yikes! didn't try it on, just grabbed one that looked large enough and got it overwith...it had to be done, after all), after having to drop my wedding ring off--my middle diamond fell out at school this morning while cleaning. I'm so glad I saw it and it's not sucked up in a vacuum or stuck to the bottom of someone's shoe. I also did lots of thinking about Brian and my first anniversary coming up so soon! I was still soooo busy with the wedding crazies this time last year! I finally returned home to find the yard freshly mowed, a sweaty husband, and a happy dog. Now all I have to do is make my list of things to do around the house (and wherever else) on my free time around going with B to basketball tournaments (of course I still sometimes have that guilty little "I should really get a part time job or something" nagging feeling...but it goes away pretty fast)...The picture here is of what will most likely be one of my favorite spots this summer, cool beverage in one hand, book in the other. My lounge chair is now all set up, sprayed free of dirt and cobwebs, and ready for business!! Feel free to bring your chairs over and join me!
