One Crazy Happy Summer

I cannot believe that this summer is almost over already!  It is the end of July and in less than a month I will be back in the classroom with 20 something little faces looking to me for instruction and guidance.  Scary huh?  My summer has been happy, sad, fun, lazy, exciting, and crazy.  One thing it has not been is boring!  It started with my sis surprising me by showing up a week early at my jewelry party and then she stayed for most of the month of June!  I had a fantastic time with her while she was here.  Sadly June was also the month that we lost Granny Wheeler.  :-(  She fought for a long time and then finally left us to be with Grandpa on Father's Day June 20th, 2010 also mom and dad's anniversary.  It was expected and we knew she was in a better place but it was still very hard to lose her.  April and I sang I'll Fly Away at the funeral and I was proud to do that for Granny.   Afterwards, we all sort of slowly have drifted back into our lives.  Crys, Heather, Amber, Erin, Krystal and I all went to see Eclipse and I must say I am hooked on all that stuff.  Never thought I would be but I am..LOL.  Then it was time for Crys to go back to her new home in NM and I bawled like a baby all the way home from the airport.   I miss her immensely!   Heather and I have been going out all the time and staying out way too late.  Probably why I sleep all day--lol!  We go out Wed. for karaoke at Harley's and Horses and then Thurs. to Bar 12 for poker which I won last week!  Then we go to Aces or Brewtop on the weekends usually.  Good times! Mary is home from Europe!  I am so glad she had such an amazing experience and am so envious of her!  :-)  Sat. night Leeanne and I went to the MercyMe concert and it was awesome and then Sunday  we all hung out at Aunt Kelly's for game night and had a blast.   Tonight I had Payton and we had a fun evening of dinner, ice cream and mini golf.  Tomorrow I am going back to work in my classroom----Boo!  Then on Friday, Ty and I are leaving for NM to spend a week and a half with Crys and Dyl.  I am so excited!   I hope Ty and I do not kill each other on the 15 hour drive down there and make it safely!  ;-)  I also hope that we have a blast!   As for this crazy summer, it is also the first time in several years where I have actually felt true happiness!  I am happy to be free, happy to be independent, happy to be self-sufficient, happy to be successful, happy to be a friend, a sister, a daughter, a step-mom (in Payton's eyes),  a grand daughter,  a christian, a teacher,  just happy to be me!

Till next time...........
