Back to the Grind...

Well, it's true...summer is over and life has moved on. I have been back to the grind for 4 weeks already and I'm in trouble, because I am already tired! :-0 I have good reason to be tired though..I started out with 31 kiddos and had that for the first week, but then one got accepted to a charter school and left...BOO HOO (YEHAW!). So, now I'm left with 30. And they are pretty good kids at that...they are growing on me as I come to know them and their fun little personalities.

As I mentioned before, I had to move classrooms and I had to do it all the Friday afternoon before the first day of school on Monday (August 20th). Let's just say I had serious flashbacks of my first year, when I was in the same boat and was very stressed on the first day, because I really wasn't all "put together" as far as my room went. Good thing the kiddos didn't really know that! :) So, I survived and 4 weeks later, I am going strong and getting used to my new room, even though it is so small!!

I did enjoy my last few weeks of summer though, spending a weekend in Park City, going on Trek with my singles ward (walking 14 miles in one day...phew!!), watching the Olympics (GO USA!!!), and enjoying the last few rays of sunshine! I also got to celebrate my 27th birthday on the 27th of August. I can't believe I'm that old! My mom came in and brought treats to my class. Then I spent the evening with my awesome family at Sizzler and had some homemade cheesecake for dessert! MMM....thanks Mom!

Anyway, I thought I would leave you with some pictures of the Park City girls weekend. Enjoy!

Oh...and it is official...I am a MASTER!!! :)
