An Instagram Summer

I thought I would post a summary of the summer with Instagram pictures...  then I realized you might think all I do it take pictures of food, my kitty babies, and my sweet hubby....        and then I remembered that is practically all I have done this summer. (with a few extra things here and there)  And it wouldn't be my blog without crazy amounts of pictures....so sit tight!

 Told you...my life has a pattern- love, furbabies, food. 
Here's some other fun stuff...

My new school will be opening next week...so I will be super busy getting my classroom ready.  Whew...I'm worn out just thinking about it! So, my plan is to relax as much as possible for the next few days.      Teachers...the countdown is on.

*411*

I decided to link up since I had a great time reading up on every one's answers.    Girls,  I have way too much time on my hands...  I watched two reality shows while I typed out this blog.  Sloth....     I need to work on this.     Since I used my precious time so irresponsibly.  I added a zillion photos to make the blog extra long.      :)  

1. How long have you been blogging? And what got you started on blogging? Has your blog changed?

I am pretty new at blogging... only been doing it for a little over a year.  As a teacher, I heard about other teachers getting ideas from classroom blogs and my eyes immediately perked up.  I love stealing sharing ideas.  During Thanksgiving break I created a small obsession with several blogs....  and finally decided to go for it and start my own.   

2. Did you go to college? If so where, and what did you study?

I attended Midwestern State University.    My major was Early Childhood Education/  I am also ESL certified.

4. If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you would buy?

I would buy a new camera probably.     Although,  Instagram is just fine for now!
5. What are your 3 biggest pet peeves?

 Being late for something/when others are late, when kiddos don't have old fashioned manners, and when adults/kids are on their cell phones during dinner. at the movies. during conversations. at church.    Hello?!?!   Build real relationships. (as I am typing on my computer while my husby plays video games!  EEEK!)

7. What is your drink of choice; wine, beer, or liquor. Or water, soda, tea?

I mostly drink water....  I crave water usually....mmm....better grab a bottle right now.  I also like tea. 

8. What is something you enjoy doing when you have me time?

I love to snuggle up on the couch with my furbabies and read blogs and pin fun things on Pinterest :)  In the summer- Watering the plants in the backyard and taking a night long swim float in the pool with a book.  Cooking and meal planning are my favs.

9. If you could have a $10,000 shopping spree to one store, which store would it be?

Hmmm...probably Target because you can find pretty much anything you need there!

10. Share with us an embarrassing moment of your past? Or present.

Oh brother...my first year teaching Kindergarten I was lining up all my lil sweeties at the end of the day.  We were walking inside from an end of the day recess time and a huge gust of wind blew my skirt up to my chin.  Mortified.  A little kiddo asked me why I didn't wear underwear to school   (just for the record- I DID have on panties)   and I had many phone calls to make that afternoon...just so stories didn't get embellished!!

11. What day would you love to relive again?

I would spend one more day with my dad.  On this day we walked to the beach, he showed me one of his favorite Bibles, and we sat on his balcony and held hands talking about Jesus.

12. If your life was turned into a movie...what actor would play you?

He always says we look alike.

17. Where do you see your life 5 years from now?

Well,  In reality I know that my plan, at times, is different that God's plan.  I hope to be right where he wants me.        If I had to play the game and guess what we would be doing in 5 years,,,   I would love to have a house full of little ones, lots of laughing, prayers, serving, and growing as a Christian.  My hubby and I have transformed our relationship into something so beautiful and I know that the Lord will provide us with what we need and put us in situations we need to be in so we can grow.      Oh,  and let our sweet furbabies still be making hairballs the size of tumble weeds fly across our floor.  :)
