The End of Another Year

Boy have I been a bad blogger or what! I guess I can blame it on the business of the end of theschool year, but not that it's over I better get on it again! This school year has truly flown by. The year started off rocky with 10 out of 12 of my students being boys. I struggled with their wild personalities, and rambunctious ways, but I have truly come to love each of them. We both taught each other a lot and I will truly miss them. The one negative with teaching upper elementary is not seeing your students in the following years. Our school now has a 6th grade, but it is small and not all students will be returning. Many of them go to middle schools that are 6th-8th grade. So for many of my students, this is the last time I will see them :( I love how I have gotten to know each one of their spunky personalities, and getting to watch how they have changed throughout this year.

Well, not that it's officially summer, it's time for vacation. Matt and I (and Cooper too :) leave next week to meet his parents up in the Sierras to go camping. The main activity to do up there is fishing, which I will probably take part in one or two days while we are there, but other than that I will most likely be sleeping in, knitting/crocheting, and reading. Not the most exciting vacation, but it is definitely relaxing and beautiful. We are also going to Lake Powell in early August. This is probably my 18th going to Lake Powell, so it is clearly a family favorite. Again, a beautiful place to go, relax, and have fun. Other than that, I will be hanging
out at home cleaning, organizing, and doing whatever each day may bring. I am also looking forward to hanging out with my bff who is pregnant! She is also a teacher, so I'm sure we will have fun shopping and planning for her little bundle of joy to arrive :)

Hopefully I will be a better blogger, now that I have more time on my hands, and my next post should be full of vacay pictures!
