Insert the buzzer sound from game shows that means WRONG!
I thought I'd fill you in with a couple things going on thus far during our summer break. Oh, and by the way - I have not forgotten about a single one of you. Never will. When I say 63Forever, I mean forever.
You see a small collage to the left, those are some pictures I've taken this summer. I'll explain them to you - what I was doing/thinking at the time.
Top left - my second oldest niece, Isabel, and I. She is going to be a 2nd grader at Brandon elementary. Her older sister is going into 5th grade. Every time I see them I try talking them into moving to PH for middle school. Anyway, that picture was just taken during a short family vacation we took to Okoboji, Iowa. She and I were trying to pretend like we didn't want to be there - but truth is, I'd give anything to be back - hanging out with my family and being able to relax, laugh and (unfortunately) eat too much good food!
Top middle - that's a monkey statue at Arnold's Park in Okoboji (it's an amusement park). I stuck the KnowStrength sticker on him when no security guards were looking. Hey, might as well let the KS spread reach more new places right? I did not go on any roller coasters. I also did not go to jail.
Top right - after eating at a restaurant in Sioux Falls, I saw in one of the 'claw' type games a 1Direction pillow. I could think of nothing better to rest my head on at night than this, so I spent eight dollars of hard earned money trying to get it. Eight dollars and three minutes later, I left convinced the machine is impossible to win anything - it was the weakest claw I'd ever seen. . . long story short - no pillow.
Bottom right - B n G Milky Way. It's an awesome place to get ice cream, so swarms of people go every night. But if they didn't, I think I single handedly could keep this place in business. I have made many trips to get treats for myself, sister, brother in law, nieces, neighbors, pets, random people, imaginary friends, etc.
Bottom middle - one of my friends from college is getting married in the fall and asked several guys to join him for a weekend in the Black Hills. This picture was taken before we started a death-defying journey up a huge mountain. We made it. It was fun. My back hurt so bad the next three days I could barely walk. Worth it.
Bottom left - it's small, but this picture is very important to me. I actually took it just yesterday (June 16 - Father's Day) at the nursing home where two of my grandparents live. My dad was reading the card he wrote to my grandpa. I'm sure you all know that I have a bit of a sentimental, softer side to me when it comes to things ending (like the end of the school year). Knowing that my grandpa's time with us may in fact be ending sooner than we would like, I try to soak in every moment I get to be around him. Seeing my dad spend Father's Day with his father a great memory. I won't forget it.
I hope that you're all having a fun, exciting and very importantly, safe summer. Whatever you do, each and every day, please never forget that it's in style to do the right thing, to be nice to other people, to lead by example - and it's never going out of style. I already can't wait to see you all next fall. I'm excited for new students on team 6.3, as I'm excited for you all to experience new teachers in your life. But of course, no once can be replaced on our team - each year has a special place in my heart.
#63Forever.

ReplyDeleteWell, it looks like you have been doing something productive with your summer! As you may have guessed all I have done is watch Doctor Who and Sherlock. Oh, and being sad that your definitely not going to be my teacher for seventh grade and being sad that Matt Smith is leaving Doctor Who on the Christmas special. It's been a pretty depressing summer, but it looks like you have been having fun! Can't wait for the next summer post since you put #1 next to it. "We're all stories in the end." - The Doctor "Why Steven Moffat, why?!?" - Me and all the other Whovians. Ok Mr. K, that's all! (Sorry about the whole Doctor - Steven Moffat thing . . . have a good summer!
