The End...

Well this is it! Tomorrow is officially the last day of school! (WITH KIDS THAT IS!) I can't believe it! Today we had our awards ceremony and ice cream party! They had a blast and behaved so well for the parents (whew...relief! ya never know with 6 and 7 year olds!) I actually got pretty teary eyed during the awards ceremony! I will definitely miss my kids! I know that some of them aren't coming tomorrow so I had to say goodbye to a few today. We have a half day which means they get out at 10:30. What are we going to do for 3 hours?? Who knows! But I"m sure I"ll find something! I have a lot of work to do in my room to get it ready for the cleaners. I really got excited today thinking about next year because our grade level chair is ON THE BALL and already has so much done for next year. I went into her room and just let myself absorb the "new year" feeling! I'm excited because I know what to expect and I'll know what things to buy and what things are dumb purchases!
I have a lot of goals for the summer. My first goal is to get back into my quiet times! I have been SO SLACK with that and I really have been missing it. I have distanced myself from God and let sin come into my life that I have been BOMBARDED with lately and I'm soooooo done with it!!! So I'm smacking Satan in the face this summer and getting back in righteous standing :) My next goal for the summer is to lose some weight! I was really good about going to the gym about 3 months ago and it lasted for about 2 months but with the end of the year stuff I haven't been able to do it at all. I've missed it but now I have NO EXCUSE!!!
I"m really looking forward to this summer! I have a lot of things planned but then a lot of nothing planned! I have 3 (possibly 4!) weddings to attend this summer. My friend Tiffany from high school is getting married this Saturday! My friend Ashley is getting married on the 22nd and I"m a bridesmaid in her wedding!! THEN on July 19th my SISTER is getting married in FLORIDA and I"m the maid of honor! I can't wait for that trip! It's going to be a week of BLISS! I'm possibly going to a wedding in Chicago with my friend Mike for our friend Hunter's wedding. That will be an amazing road trip if it happens! :) So between weddings, school prep, laying by the pool, working out, and hanging out with amazing friends, I think I have my whole summer planned. I hope it is wonderful!
Ok well I think I outdid myself for the night! Happy Last Day of School to me!!

Until,
