Okay, I'm blogging not because I have anything interesting to say, but because I'm tired of seeing the same OLD post every time I log on!  So, here's an update by way of a list:

  • I had a fabulous summer - Peru was amazing, we camped with my in-laws and did a pretty great hike, I spent time with friends, unpacked my classroom, and had fun hanging out with my husband.  We had another successful garden - this is slowly becoming something I truly enjoy and I can't wait to have a yard that's more suitable for growing our own food.
  • The school year got off to a great start.  I love meeting the new 6th graders!  I have a fabulous student teacher, and so far things are going really well.
  • My dad had open heart surgery and I flew down to OKC to be there for the surgery and the recovery time in the hospital.  It totally sucked that he had bypass, but it was awesome to see my family.
  • Will turned 30!  We are in such a good place right now and I can't wait to see what's next - I am so blessed.
  • It's really starting to feel like fall around here.  I'm looking forward to getting the yard cleaned up and winter-ready, canning some of my abundant green tomatoes, buying pumpkins, and making meals in the crock pot.
  • I'm slowly learning to use my new camera - Will bought me/us a Rebel T1i for our anniversary, and I LOVE it.  It's so familiar because I learned to use an SLR on a Canon...I just love it and I am having fun experimenting!
  • I've been crafting a lot more lately and trying new things.  Alicia and I hope to have our new etsy store up and running sometime next month - just in time for Christmas shopping!  We'll email out when it's open.








Okay!   Now I feel better.  I really do have things to say and document, but I need to get back in the groove.  I'll make an effort!
