Top 10 List for June...

Since I have not been able to consistently write everyday (or every week for that matter), I have opted to make a Top 10 List for this month. Some may be things I have done and others may be things I still want to do... Either way, here they come!

1. We just got back yesterday from my husband's annual family lake trip (aka family reunion, but funner). The lake itself is about 5 hours away from us, so my sweet babies had to stay at the vet clinic for a couple of days. Once we got there, we actually only made it to the lake once. Once! That was it! We did squeeze in a nice canoe trip, but every single night (and most afternoons) were filled with pitch. I was a newbie when I first came to the family, but I am all kinds of professional now! (It's a surprise at how competitive I get...)

2. Today was such a lazy day, that I filled it with cuddles from puppies, 2 books, and lots of reality tv. (Real Housewives? Yes, please!)

3. I have been watching The Bachelorette and I am pretty sure that I am more annoyed with this season more than others. It disgusts me that the producers think we (the audience) need to hear Bentley's name that many times, AND the fact that they thought that a boxing match with 8 guys wouldn't be full of competitive testosterone and a nice guy getting knocked around. I'm kind of over it.

4. What I love Wednesday is tomorrow!!! I'll be spending the day with 3 of my favorite Kappa Delta sisters - who I haven't seen in months!! We all live 1-2 hours apart from each other (which isn't much), but it is harder to get together with our busy lives. I am extremely excited and cannot wait!

5. I have been reading for pleasure again... I tend to read a lot during the school year even (we have no kiddos yet, so I am still selfish with my free time). However, summertime is usually filled with school-related books. Classroom management, curriculum planning, etc. I'm a nerd, but I own it.

6. I have officially found the coolest site! Zazzle.com has become my new favorite thing! I ordered a friend and I a personalized notebook, because she and I are organizational queens! Everything must be filed with labels and dividers...always. (It's a sickness.)

7. I have newly become a lake person. My husband and his 2 brothers purchased a lake house from their great uncle this past spring, and I've only gotten to go and stay once!! This weekend will be our next adventure (second week in a row with his family... kind of like a mini-family reunion). But I'm really excited!! (I'll have to come back and tell everyone why! It's a secret for now!)

8. Boot Camp. (Doesn't that say it all?) I signed up this summer - knowing that I wouldn't be able to attend the last 2 weeks of classes - but I still got in about 5 weeks of it! Sounds crazy (and Mr. T agrees), but I LOVED it! Two days a week at 5:30 a.m. for 60 minutes. I did work and I am proud!

9. After Boot Camp comes.... my version of exercise. I have to start getting my butt up again (which seems to be hard for me without a set schedule or routine during the summers), but 5:30 was a great time for me to get out there. I head up to the track and keep trying to add another lap every couple of weeks. I'm by no means where I need to be, but I am out there and I am doing it! (Which is more than I could've said for the past 3 years since I've been teaching.)

10. Fireworks are my favorite! Hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th!!
