Blog Swap and Life Update

Hello Friends....It's been awhile! I apologize! The end of school has been crazy....the kids left and I immediately started moving into my new classroom. I decided I wanted to tackle it all at the beginning of the summer so I don't have to go back for awhile...I plan to fully enjoy my first summer off as a teacher! So I am ALMOST completely done unpacking and setting up my classroom for next year, can I get a HOLLA!! This is until our new reading series arrives with the grand total of 1,904 books for me to put somewhere???? When they told us the amount of books we were getting my jaw hit the floor. I'm not sure that 1,904 books is really necessary, I guess will see won't we!




Anyways, on to more fun stuff! I got my package for the Summer Swap and was oh so excited to get it! I feel like a little girl waiting at the mailbox when I know I have something coming for me in the actual mailbox. I feel like so much of the time everything is on the internet these days and as much as a love the convenience of the cyber world...I have much appreciation for the old fashion lick the stamp and send it off method! Swaps, Letters, Online shopping if it's coming in the mail I get SO excited! (Notice: I did NOT include bills on the excited about mail category!)


My wonderful blog swap partner Whitney over at Pretty Whitty spoiled me with some great summer items!! Included in my package was a new pair of flip flops, The Help (I've been wanting to read this book for awhile now!! SO Excited!!), Jolly Ranchers (My Favorite!), a cute new wallet, and my first bottle of Essie nail polish! I can't wait to try it out! I couldn't have asked for a better swap partner, it was fun sending emails back and forth. We realized we had a lot of the same likes and dislikes. Thanks Whitney for getting me in the summer mood!


In Other News, I was able to go visit my little sister at camp this last weekend!! Can't tell you how excited I was to see that girls face! She is going to be the Pool Director and works the Ropes Course and Camp Barnabas all summer. She won't be home till August so it was a special treat to see her! Our youth group was also at camp this past week so it was fun and exciting to here the kids talk about their experiences and how much fun they're having. 

It it Stink'n HOT this week and I am wishing that our pool was open for business! I guess I'll just have to be patient right?! I have also been looking at houses a little bit more seriously now that summer is upon us. I found the house of my dreams, but something might be wrong with it structurally so it might not be the house for me. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that I hear good news about the house from the realtor. Also, as of recently my face and been acting more like a 13 year-old and not of a 24 year-old. I have had more blemishes then I care to have and was getting a little more then irritated. I didn't know if I needed to get on medication or a special acne wash...I have been lucky to only have the occasional break out, but it has been more of a constant break out. So I did some review research on drugstore acne treatments, I was not about to spend a ton of money right off the bat. I found this little bottle of magic! Started using this 2 days ago and all of my blemishes are either GONE or drying out! I couldn't be more pleased with this product!!!! If you need spot treatment to get that pesky pimple that makes you feel like you have a unicorn horn coming out of your face...BUY IT! I paid $6.00 on sale for it and thought if it doesn't work for me then I'm not out a ridiculous amount of money. 

I almost forgot to update you on the Chick Status! We ended up having 2 chicks fully hatch, only 1 made it though. The 2nd chick was sick and ended up passing away the day after it hatched. It was a sad day! But we did have Miss Lucy! She was adorable! And the kids got to see her fully hatch it was perfect! I was a proud mama! My mom and I spoiled Lucy all weekend and she ended up being held more than in her cage. She was a little bit of a diva after a weekend of sleeping in my mom's hands. At school she never wanted to be in her box, so once the kids went home I'd just let her walk around the classroom. It was the funniest thing, she just followed me where ever I went. I'm not the biggest animal person and usually am to scared to hold most animals. I will say that I am now a chick lover! She was so cute and had so much personality! I was sad to see her go back to the farm on the last day of school!

Meet Lucy!

That's all for now, I promise to try and keep up on here! I've been running around so much that being on my computer has been in the way back of my mind! Happy Tuesday All!
