Finally a break in the action...

So I've been meaning to write for a few days now. Figured this was the perfect opportunity since it's storming outside, I have no satellite signal, and it's too early to hop on the WiiFit. If I would step on it now it would probably tell me I was lighter than yesterday and it would be all proud of me...only because it's earlier in the day. That would be great...but that would mean the next time I went on I'd probably have "gained weight" again and it would ask me why. So I'll just wait and eliminate all those potential challenges.

This last week might have been the fastest passing week of the entire summer. It feels like yesterday I was packing to head home for the weekend. That's probably because I started "working" this week. I got somewhat of a broad plan together for the first semester courses, modified course outlines, and am actually well on my way to finishing up the first unit for Biology. It's kind of nice being able to "re-teach" some of the same courses this year cause I can change things to make them better. Yesterday I went to the school and I think that motivated me somewhat. Today I went to Staples. That just might make the top 5 list of best places ever. I have this fascination for all things "officeish". Binders make me smile, pens make me excited, markers, pencil crayons and colors bring light to my day, and even a simple pack of looseleaf can bring me joy. I really indulged today - if I saw it and liked it I pretty much bought it. BUT it was teacher appreciation day and I did get 10% off. Saving it! Oh and I got a complimentary gift - a roll of stickers, glue, reusable bag - how lovely! This afternoon I organized it all...oh how I love it when everything has a special place (and is labelled!). I expect that tomorrow will be much more of the same - getting ready for school.

Okay so last weekend was great. From the pictures below it's obvious that Macy and Cory got married. It was awesome. Macy is such a relaxed and laid back person and she did everything necessary to make the weekend great (hopefully she thought so too!) The wedding was simple and beautiful. Very genuine and relaxed. The reception was tons of fun - probably the most fun I've had this summer. I still feel honored to have been chosen to be a part of such a special day. Great times were had and great memories were made.

I'm thinking about how next week at this time I'll be totally stressed out...and of course I would think about that. I feel like its going to be the start of having "no life" again but at the same time it's my whole life. If that makes any sense. I think that I'm okay with that though...ya I am.
