Ready or Not...

...School is starting tomorrow. I think for the most part I am ready. I have met most of my students at Open House. My room is set up the way it needs to be, and our Panda Patch is coming along great. This year our class will be called 'The Panda Pals'. Pandas are my favorite animal and so I thought, why not be surrounded by them all year long! I cannot stress enough how excited I am for this year to begin. I have so many exciting ideas for my students, and cannot wait to see them succeed! I will have the inclusion class again this year. Inclusion ranks very high on my favorites list! I have some cuties coming in this year! :)

My summer was very laid back and relaxing. Well minus the Swamp trip. Ok the actual trip, stay and company was great. The time spent in the swamp with the gators in a little john boat was not so much fun! Not my idea of fun anyways. To the people that go there all the time, they enjoyed it! I was doing ok until my hubby and brother in law decided to go fishing and it was feeding time for the gators. Well one gator decided he wanted to eat the fish, and bumped out boat to try and get it. Then I was done! I would love to go back next year but I think I will skip the boat part!
A couple of weeks later my grandmother, aunt and I went down to my other aunts house at Lake Oconee. We had some great chats and just relaxed. Then it was followed up with a baby shower for my cousin. Can't wait to meet little Peyton.
Our last trip was to Ellijay with the Cips. They invited us to come up with them over the 4th of July weekend. It was alot of fun. They are great people to be around in general. We also went tubing with Tony and Megan. That was nice and relaxing as well until hubby fell out of the tube and scrapped his back. He is nice and healed now!
Speaking of hubby, the highlight to our summer was that he just received the news that he has been put on the kidney transplant list. Of course there are mixed emotions with this but overall we are happy that this is finally happening. Please keep our family in your prayers.
Now that was a wrap up of our summer. We have been busy but also able to fit in some relaxation time. Now it is time to start full force this school year.
OHHHHH I almost forgot! I am graduating in December. I have FOUR MORE classes to take and I am ecstatic to no end. There is no more going to the Reinhardt campus because my classes are online. And they are special education classes at that. I have been wanting to take these classes and now I have the opportunity to! YEAH!!!
Well that was alot in one post! I am going to try and update this more often. Maybe daily....huh!
Enjoy your day and see you soon!
