Summer round up

Hi All,

Well, the end of summer is here. I can't believe school starts on Monday. I mean, really, where did the time go? I've enjoyed these last few days and will really miss the time with the pups. They are too sweet. Matt has had a good run at Shelter and will stay on there working a few hours a week. We are planning a trip to Costa Rica for spring break. It is our next big adventure! Of course, the next major event is Meghan and David's wedding in September. I still need to write my toast!! Eeeks.

We had a fun trip to Las Vegas for her bachelorette party. Matt also had a good time with David and his friends down in Texas for his party. We are gearing up for a busy year. We have season tickets to the home football games (Yeah, SEC!) and are going to try to go to some other big shows. Our latest new entertainment is dancing lessons! We started on Monday and learned six different basic moves. I am pretty excited. I always want to dance with Matt. I hope we live it up at the reception!

Have you all been watching the Olympics? I like that this year it started earlier than last time so I am getting to watch a lot more of it. Also, I didn't have a summer job in July, so that helped a lot. Matt and I both agree how cool it would have been if we were good enough to do that--I am sure everyone has those thoughts, right? While watching the other day I saw a great commercial.
It just about brought me to tears. Made me proud to be a woman and I can't wait to have a little girl who I will encourage to do whatever she wants and to always do her best.

I've been in the classroom all this week preparing and getting my mindset back into teaching mode. I don't feel as refreshed as I had wished, but I am getting ready to take on a new year. It is like going into battle. You just have to focus and run straight ahead and not look back. I hope you all are ready for a new school year and that you had an awesome summer! Tomorrow is 10 on 10 and I am ready for it! Be looking for my photos then.

Sincerely,
Amanda
