off to work we go...
Yes, teachers everywhere are returning to the classrooms this week. It is difficult to leave behind the lazy mornings, beach afternoons, and late night movies, but any great teacher will tell you that we are bitin' at the bit to get back into the classroom at this point. I miss it. I look forward to the systems and organization; the new school supplies; the nicely cleaned desks and pointy sharpened pencils; the empty gradebook; the fresh start.
But what I look forward to most are the kids...their funny sayings and silly smiles and knee-high hugs. Their wonder and mischief and discovery. A list of new names and a sea of new faces.
Teaching...no, it's not always easy. It's not always fun. But it's always an adventure.

Bear goes to camp...
That sounds like a movie title...
Anyway- my brother and SIL have this bear named Bear. (Let's hope my future nieces/nephews have better luck with names). They take Bear places and take photos of him for fun. Bear got to go to Palmetto Bible Camp with us this June, and we took him on a photo safari one day. So this post is for Becky- enjoy our funny shots!

Bear is lucky, he sleeps in the staff cabin...

Bear chillin' on the staff porch, finishing off a Cheerwine...

Bear feels right at home while at camp...

Bear goes to F-mart, our favorite place to get Cheerwine...

Bear realizes that his mountain cousins also frequent F-mart...

all about me...
I've seen this done on a lot of blogs, and I must say that Mary finally inspired me to try...it's 10pm and I'm not really tired, so here it goes (I'll let you know how long this took at the end)...
1. My favorite color is PINK.
2. I LOVE LOVE LOVE flamingos.
3. I got a pair of flamingo flip flops today.
4. I own (too) many pairs of black shoes.
5. I watch Stacy and Clinton on Fridays.
6. I used to spiral perm my hair in high school.
7. I would hang my head upside down off my top bunk bed and let my hair air dry for hours.
8. I was married 17 years ago August 4.
9. Larry was my first and only date.
10. I've never been kissed by anyone else but Larry.
11. As a mom, I wanted four boys.
12. When the ultrasound tech told me Mary E was a girl, I didn't believe her.
13. I used to bite my nails, so now they really won't grow well.
14. I was a very anxious child.
15. I knew I wanted to be a teacher in 3rd grade.
16. I didn't like to go to school. I cried every morning through middle school.
17. I danced and sang in show choir in high school, High School Musical style. No joke.
18. I always wanted to be a mom. I loved my doll babies as a child.
19. I asked God to make one of my favorite dolls real. I promised Him I would take good care of it. He finally answered my prayer when Mary E was born, weighing in at 6lbs- my real live baby doll.
20. I loved being pregnant. I was a good pregnant person.
21. Mary E was two weeks early. I knew she was our last. I cried as I folded and put away my maternity clothes because I felt "cheated" out of my last two weeks pregnant.
22. I sew. I used to cross-stitch.
23. I drove my dad's pickup to high school each day, with a tag on it that said, "Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way." I got a lot of grief for that.
24. I am a Disco Queen.
25. I still love the 80s.
26. I listened to Love Shack and U Can't Touch This when I worked out at the gym this morning.
27. I was voted Most Likely To Succeed in high school.
28. I tried out for the cheerleading squad in high school, but didn't make it.
29. I am a people person.
30. I like to talk, and I talk fast.
31. I'm a night owl.
32. I've been told I have nice feet.
33. I had never mown a lawn until just last year.
34. I love the beach. I wish I could live there.
35. I want to own an RV when we retire.
36. My favorite flower is a carnation.
37. I was baptized when I was almost 11.
38. I love chocolate.
39. I tend to be extremely organized.
40. I can handle dirt. I can not handle chaos.
41. I'm not always a good listener. Remember #30?
42. I love old houses.
43. I'm nostalgic.
44. I love to take photos.
45. I have to sleep on the right side of a bed. (if you're looking at it, the right side)
46. I'm not into expensive jewelry. Larry's lucky.
47. I love Bed Head massages at Urban Nirvana.
48. Rubbing my head puts me to sleep.
49. I love staying at a Westin, they have THE BEST beds.
50. I made David and I matching outfits for his first birthday party. They didn't come out so well...
That took me about 25 minutes. Next 50 later. Those last few are making me tired...and can you tell who's reading over my shoulder??
