Where has the summer gone. I can't believe it is August already. This summer seems to have flown by.
I have been spending a lot of time in my classroom already trying to get prepped for the beginning of the year. I feel confident about the start of the year, but know there are a lot of things I don't know. It is hard to know what to expect as I approach my first day of class and this entire year. I have had nothing but support from my friends and pulled every string I have with my teaching friends to glean as much knowledge from them as possible before the start of the year.
Kaia and I have had a busy summer. It feels like we have had things going on just about every night and every weekend. The highlight of our summer was definitely our anniversary weekend. We took a few days off of work and explored some new spots around the Twin Cities. We had dinner at a few new restaurants and even caught a Twins game. By far the best spot we ate was at the Nook in St. Paul. Not much to look at when you walk in the door, but probably one of the best burgers in town. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
We just got back from central Iowa where we celebrated the marriage of one of my cousins. It was a fast weekend but we had a great time seeing our extended family. My highlight was talking with my uncle who is also a band director and gaining some valuable nuggets of information from him as I get ready for the year.
I'm super excited for all that is to come and all of the adventures that are just around the corner.
Stay tuned...
