Where Did the Summer Go?

Another summer has come and gone. Today was my last Friday of vacation and it leaves me feeling kind of "blah". I'm excited about all of the wonderful things I have to look forward to this fall, but I sometimes feel like I'm wishing my life away and not really taking the time to cherish the present. So much has happened this summer that I wish I had a slow motion button to press and take the time to truly breathe it all in. I can't believe that this will be my 5th year of teaching. I love my job so much, and teaching with my mom and Hunny makes it a triple blessing. That reminds me, I have a classroom blog now! I've had a homework web-page in the past, but decided the blog format was way cuter. So, if you'd like to check out the happenings of Ms. Clark's fourth grade class this year, just click here. This should be an interesting year with me becoming Mrs. Morris in November. It will probably be harder for me to get used to than the kids!

The bridesmaids dresses have been decided on and ordered. I don't think I'll post a picture of them, but I will say that they are nothing like we had originally planned. I was going to let each girl pick their own dress in the same color, but when we went to look they all fell in love with the same dress. It's different, but gorgeous! I finally said yes to a dress of my own. It took me months and months and months, but I'm very satisfied with my decision. We're getting ready to start our pre-marital counseling. We've done a little registering. Dave picked out the china, flatware, and drink ware. He's way better at making a firm decision than I am. I could have stayed in Ansley Place all day pondering over which pattern I wanted.

Well, I'm off to make some curtains for my classroom. That was my goal for today and since it's already 10:00 pm, I'd better get started!

I enjoyed my summer visitors!

so that's why you see a yellow hose in the background.)
