Yes, I still get a summer

And I don't feel one bit guilty for it, y'all.

So far this summer, I have

1) Traveled to New Orleans to coach my AMAZING volleyball team at Nationals. Did I mention I got to drive the girls around in a sexy minivan?

2) Finished another grad school class...only four to go!

3) Tripped over a wine glass at my best friend's wedding, breaking it and cutting myself. But I made up for it by delivering a pretty kick butt Matron of Honor speech, if I do say so myself (no, no cheesy parody song...just an acronym, true English teacher style).

Me making the beautiful bride and her father laugh before walking down the aisle.

4) Moved across town. Well, across the river.

5) Had a girls day with my sister and some friends. I'm going to miss her when she moves!

6) FINALLY been to Busch Gardens after like three years of not going.

7) Seen my husband's family in Texas. Although we were so sad to say goodbye to Pawpaw, it was a blessing that his passing on allowed us to all reunite.

8) Read a couple books...plus some grad school textbooks. Riveting, let me tell you.

9) Met and joked around with Jackson from our local radio station. Yeah, I felt popular and cool for about three minutes. So sue me.

10) RELAXED...something that y'all teachers know doesn't happen often during the year with planning, grading, and parent phone calls. How nice it has been to catch up on Scandal and get further into Parks and Rec on Netflix.

Cheers to a great second half of summer! Coming up: five year anniversary, volleyball camp, cat sitting, and more!
