Summatime

Since the last time you heard from me I've completed another year of teaching Kindergarten, turned 27, celebrated 5 years of marriage, and spent a few days in Mexico. This summer has been a busy one, so I've been enjoying the weeks that I have downtime. And by enjoying, I mean doing absolutely NOTHING. And it's wonderful.

Making : banana bread 
Cooking : corn succotash (my favorite summer side! inspired by The Cheesecake Factory)
Drinking : lots and lots of ice water in my mason jar tumblers
Reading: The One and Only by Emily Giffin on my new kindle!
Wanting: a pool in my backyard
Looking: tan from my days spent by the pool in Mexico
Playing: Sorry and Old Maid with The Rodgers fam!
Wasting: time (always)
Wishing: it wasn't already the end of June!
Enjoying: the asiago cheese bagel from Panera, we may have bought 1/2 dozen for breakfast at the house
Waiting: impatiently for July 4th to see my fam
Liking: being able to reach my daily Matt Lauer quota with The Today Show every morning
Wondering: if I’ll ever be able to turn my school brain back on
Loving: my lunch dates with Bryan
Hoping: that this summer will stay mild, and not be too brutal
Needing: to be better at cleaning my house
Smelling: burgers on the grill, the smell of summer!
Wearing: my new diamond earrings my sweet husband surprised me with for our 5 year anniversary!
Noticing: how bored I am at home all summer without sweet Kelty boy ;(
Knowing: my Mimi may be the only person that still reads this blog. Love you Mimi!!
Thinking: about fun things to do when my nieces come stay with me for a week at the end of July!
Feeling: pretty darn lazy
Opening: junk mail. We get so much junk mail

Be back soon with more summer updates!
