Summer 2011

Well I believe that lots of people wont read my blog if there is not any pictures to grab the attention first. Let's be honest pictures are more fun than words! Anyways so here is a picture of two of my friends diving into a pond, can you guess who?

So it's summer - my favorite time of the year! It has been my favorite part of the year my whole life not just because I am a teacher. I use to play lots and lots of softball games in the summer and spend all day at the pool with my friends - -loads of fun!

Lots of people have been asking me so what do I during the summer or all day since I don't work. To be honest my first reaction is usually I RELAX! Mainly because during the school year I work 50-55 hours per week during my non-busy seasons (August-February) and I work around 65-72 hours per week during my busy season (March-May). So relaxing is something I don't do much of from August-May!
Other than that here is what I have going on this summer: (bullet points to keep you focused)

  • relaxing with my roommates
  • some pool time
  • updating and enhancing my photo business
  • working out - I have been told I am working out a lot and I probably am but I have a goal and I will not have the use of a fitness center in July, so I need to get my time in now. I have reached some of my short term goals so that keeps me motivated. But I still like drinking cokes! I will probably have one this week. 
  • reading books (currently Covenant Relationships)
  • working 2 softball camps (one for BVNW and one for FCA)
  • doing a small group/Bible study with some of my students that are now technically freshman girls 
  • going to Michigan for the month of July to see my best friend Yoh (this is always super relaxing and fun for me) 
  • maybe playing a softball game or 2 while in Michigan with Yoh's sister 
  • going to North Carolina for a week with Yoh's family
  • staying up late 
  • sleeping in 
  • going on some photo taking trips

in response to the question about the picture-- my guess would be the 2 most likely people in out community to jump into a pond.

No way. I would totally still read your blog even if there were no pics. I'm no fair-weather fan!
As for your list...that sounds downright relaxing. I hope you truly enjoy your summer and that you have a whole bunch of fun.
See you soon! :)

Big Cass and Keith. Those are my guesses, I have my reasons.

Just remember to take lots of photographs and have some serious fun with Miss(y) Yoh. Good thing I reminded you, huh?
