Over...already?

I can see the end of summer approaching. I worked in my classroom for about an hour on Tuesday and then about 3 and 1/2 hours today. I moved all of my furniture back in place. Did a little bit of deep cleaning, a little bit of setting stuff back out, and a lot of organizing and planning.





After work on Tuesday, I went to my friend, Laura's, cute downtown store, Fireballs. Sadly, she is still teaching full time and it was just too hard for her to do both, so she will be closing FB at the end of July. It has been one of my go-to shops since I moved here...before I even knew Laura. We chatted for a bit and then I went and picked her up some lunch at my favorite, The Scoop, even though it was well after lunch. Somebody told me that I should buy the store. I WISH!


I also got to spend some time getting some dental work done. I am kind of sad that I won't be going back until Dec. That is strange I know.


So, other than working and catching up with good friends, I've been trying to enjoy what is left of my summer break. We've been having really bad storms lately. It looks like one is brewing right now. And it has been soooo hot, and so humid. I think the heat index was 105 today. I've been drinking a few of these. Such a summery drink...Ellen got me hooked on them. I mentioned liking orange drinks when traveling and she bought Matt and I some and stuck them in the freezer for us to have on our way back from ATL a few weeks ago. So good!


I wanted to share this picture of me and my aunt, uncle, and cousins, that stopped by our town earlier this week to eat lunch with Matt and I. They picked my cousin Carina up at camp in NC, and visited Duke, UNC, USC, UGA, FSU, and UF. I think they are going to visit Auburn soon, and then she'll make her final decision. I loved getting to show them around.


3 things that I am anxiously awaiting on this cloudy Thursday.
1. Worshipping here on Sunday.


2. Getting my hair cut SHORTer at Jagged Edge Salon and Boutique in Jamestowne on Tuesday.


3 My mama's birthday on Thursday and my dog, Ginger's birthday too...I won't get to see her but I'll be celebrating with her over the phone. She is my favorite person to shop for!

My cute mama!

Me and my girls. Ginger and Blakely...obviously an old one!

My soul finds rest in God alone...

Yeah, me too. There is one house for sale left on my street. Our city schools have been doing a little bit of hiring this year, I just found out. Maybe we should start saving up. HA! It would be so fun though!
