Countdown to the 1st Day of School

This is the first summer I haven't worked since I was 14, and initially I thought I would love it.  I have been doing lots of things to keep myself busy, but not busy enough! Next summer, the job hunt is on!

The first day of school is fast approaching.  Since next year is my first year as a teacher, I've been working a lot at the school to get my room & materials in order.  My cousin, Jody, is a fantastic artist & crafter, so I called on her to help me dec out my classroom.  It took a few weeks to do all the painting, but it was well worth it!

CHEERLEADING

I've also kept busy this summer coaching junior high cheerleading.  The girls have been working hard to raise money and learn new cheers and chants for football season.  They're an awesome group of girls, and they've kept me on my toes this summer!
