I'm Alive!!!

Well it has been WAY too long since I have posted anything....I am embarrassed to say that it has been since February!!I guess time just go away from me. At the beginning of spring I had a student teacher in my classroom and I was busy with that. Then summer came and WOW was I busy! First I went to Washington D.C. as a chaperone for a school trip. Then my husband and I had to give a presentation in Columbus, OH at the Ohio Leadership Advisory Council summit. Then the day after that our family took our first road trip out west for two weeks. We drove to Denver, CO and visited family. We loved seeing the Rockies. Next we drove to South Dakota and saw the Crazy Horse Memorial, Mt. Rushmore, and the Badlands. Next we drove to Chicago for a few days. I must say that it was the trip of a lifetime!! So many memories were made. I would do it again in a heartbeat! We had gone to Florida for so many years that we wanted to try something different. That was all in June. Then in July we took our annual family camping trip for two weeks. I wouldn't miss that for the world! The day after we returned from camping, football and soccer practice started. Then school started back, and now here I am! I have fought bronchitis for a few weeks and I am now busy planning my sons' 14th birthday party for next weekend. Then the weekend after that we go on another little "Halloween" camping trip for a long weekend. The whole campground dresses up, does a haunted trail, pumpkin carving contests,etc. Tweleve friends and their families will all have campsites as well. It is always a good time.
I have still been checking in on all of the blogs that I follow. I just haven't posted or commented in soooo long. Hopefully I can put some pics on here soon. I just didn't want you guys to forget about me!!

Hope everyone has a blessed week (is tomorrow Monday already? geesh!)
