Today was my last Friday of summer vacation. I return to work on Wednesday. We had a very close family friend die unexpectedly on Monday so our plans to go to the mountains mid-week were scratched. We couldn't even think of not being there for the services. Any one that has actually talked to me this summer knows that because of the budget cuts I walked on egg shells all summer unsure of how the cuts would affect my district. I do have a job and at the same school. I am so thankful!! I am really looking forward to the new school year. We have a new principal and I anticipate a lot of fresh and exciting new changes. It's a bittersweet time for me though. I am glad I have a job to return to, I'm excited about the new year, but I am going to miss my baby!
I have had an incredible summer with him. It's the first summer since he's been born that we've been able to go and do as much as we have. He is so much fun (as long as he gets a nap, right Maw Maw!) and everytime someone asks when I'm having another baby I always tell them I am having too much fun right now. It's the truth! We didn't get to do all that I had planned or had wanted but we tried to not go somewhere everyday and those were the best days. Just hanging out at home. He would actually say "Stay hooome."
I couldn't have asked for a better summer though. We attended a beautiful wedding, went to the mountains and rode the train, went on a fabulous vacation, spent time with much missed family, read lot's of books, played on the swingset, met daddy for lunch, celebrated birthdays of loved ones, and walked and walked and walked this summer. We spent a lot of time together and had a lot of fun.
I'll never get the days back but I'll forever have the memories in my heart.
