So much to do and should be grading papers, but thought that I would write a quick blog since it has been awhile.
May has been CRAZY!
Brad has been gone more than he has been home. We are very thankful and blessed for the work, but I don't know how military wives go months & years without seeing their husbands! I have missed him! Brad loves it though, which is also a blessing. He had the amazing opportunity to go to Hawaii to raise money to support children in Africa. What a beautiful place to go to ask for help for children in need. He loves being able to be a part of this ministry! I hope that God continues to bless him with more opportunities to raise money to bless the sweet boys and girls in Africa. He is helping to change the life stories of these sweet children, God is so good!
Only 8.5 days of school left! I can't believe how fast this year has gone. It has been a hard year with the group of kids that I have had this year, so in many ways I am ready for a summer break and then to start fresh in the fall. More importantly I am READY for all that summer brings. Yummy potato salad, barbecues, flip flops, pedicures, lazy afternoons at the pool, fireflies, aah! I also can't wait to work in the yard and catch up on some gardening. I need to get some summer flowers going, add to the new back bed, hopefully add some more landscaping to the backyard, and I have decided to start a herb garden. I think I will have plenty to keep me busy this summer! Also hoping to do some more decorating on the inside as Brad and I continue to work on the living room. The sofa should be here any time in the next two weeks and I hope that I can get the carpets cleaned and paint by then. I think I am overloading myself on top of finishing off the school year. Maybe carpet cleaning now and painting as soon as school gets out?
Well, this sounds like more of a list of things to do then a blog post! That is just everything going through my head. Right now I think it is time to make dinner. Meatloaf is on the England menu tonight! Yummy!
We didn't know you had a blog?! Yay!
ReplyDeleteSounds like your summer is chocked full of all kinds of fun, busy, and creative things. Here's to hoping there's plenty of time in there for us hanging out too!
You're in countdown mode-- oh, how I remember that-- enjoy the end! Also hope to see you SOON... maybe the Memorial Day cook-out? :)
