Today is officially the last day of my summer. It has been a time to relax and take a break, and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. Here's what I will remember from this summer:
- A trip for two to Disney
- A girls' beach trip to SGI with the Baker family - thanks, Penny, for the invite!
- Starting my own blog, and stalking several others - thanks, friends, for the great reading material!
- Many hours floating in the pool, reading many good books (that's what I'll miss the most)
- Way too many turkey melt sandwiches
- A cookout for 30 or so family and friends who supported my two missionaries to Peru
- Countless trips back and forth to the UC to and from volleyball practices (that's what I won't miss at all!!)
- Thousands of Kinzcash dollars earned playing some fun games
- Lots of time just hanging out with Clint - rocking on the back porch, cruising in the Jeep, running into town on some errand or another, staying up late watching movies
- Sleeping until 10:30 a.m. (OK, so that's that's what I'll miss the most)
- Torturing Riley with Regis and Kelly episodes during breakfast
However, with all that said, I have a lot to look forward to as well. A new school year brings so many new opportunities - a new classroom, new subjects to teach, new ideas to try out, new school procedures and policies to try to follow (ugh!). Most of all, a brand new group of students to teach, to pull my hair out over, and to love. I'm thankful that God has placed me where I am, and that he has blessed me with the opportunity to mold these tender lives for the next 180 school days.
