Catch Up #1 - Rando Late July and Early August

I have been trying my best to keep up with the blog. I have some drafts written, but haven't published/posted anything in awhile. I've been traveling quite a bit and trying to soak in the last bit of summer. I've had a wonderful summer, and I can't believe that it's almost time to go back to school! I've really tried to make the most of this summer and spend time in all the places I love with all the people I love.

Going back to school won't be easy, but I'm trying to maintain a positive attitude about it. I'm fortunate to be in a profession that allows me to have my summer off. I'm looking forward to seeing my students again and getting back to my regular schedule.

Being a teacher sets your mind on a different yearly schedule. My "new" year is always in August versus January. With that said, I have set some goals for myself during the school year. Some I'm keeping to myself, but some I'm happy to share. I want to continue to blog, but blog more about my lessons within the classroom. I'm learning so many things with every year I teach, I want to share them. I want to continue to keep up my reading! I've read 2-4 books every month, which isn't a ton, but I've really enjoyed keeping up this simple pleasure.

So part one of this "catch up" is just some random pictures through the end of July and start of August. I have been traveling, spending some time with friends, holding Rex (my new favorite thing in the world), and just enjoying the days. Here are some pics:
