Since Summer Vacation Started, I Have:

• done an enormous amount of cleaning and organizing in my classroom.
• gone to Skyline and a Red's game. It was such a beautiful night hanging with friends. :)

• held my friend's newly born baby. I could have held little Braelynn all. day.

• had a picnic and took in a movie with Andrew and Rachelle. It was a happy night. My mint chocolate chip ice-cream sundae was also happy. :)

• traveled to Illinois and worked with Lucas at his music camp. What a lovely week! Lucas is absolutely incredible. I loved watching him teach and interact with the kids. He's so gifted. It was just so fun to work alongside him throughout the week. I got to play lots of piano and teach voice as well as a little piano. Who knew improv could be so fun?! I have so many happy memories from this week.  What a great start to summer!

Next trip is to Oklahoma and then back to Illinois for a wedding. :) I'm thankful for the gift of relationships with people!
