Summertime and the livin is easy

At least for a few more weeks anyway.

And to be completely honest,

it hasn't really been that easy.

I mean, the Kansas heat broke an all-time record by reaching 111°.

Holy sweaty body parts.

And our entire house has been a minefield

of drywall, paint cans, drop cloths, and tools.

We've also done a pretty little number on our bank account.

12 weddings with only 2 of those in-town.

Need I say more?

But, I also got a job.

And got to celebrate marriages, births, and new homes.

And finally completed some big home projects.

And had our very first house guests.

Who left this morning. :(

And I leave for FLORIDA tomorrow.

For a bachelorette party for my bestie.

Then, it's time to get ready.

For one of the most important roles of my life.

As a fourth grade teacher.

So thankful.

So excited.

So nervous.

And I've got a bad case of the back-to-school bug.

Also spent a ridiculous amount of time in the

Kansas heat garage-saling.

I'm insane.

But I've gotten a good start on my classroom.

And I'm super excited about my reading rug & chair and

my treasure chest that will be put to work immediately.

Woop. Woop.

Hope you all are having a lovely Tuesday.
