Lunch/ Vacation/ Exercise/ PLANNING!

SO, I visited my dearest art teaching friend, Maryann Craig for lunch this week and we worked together to get all of our catching up done for the last while we have been apart. It was fabulous to catch up and feel connected again to someone in the art program in Gwinnett, what better person than her! My dearest friend, I love ya Maryann!

Marty is on vacation with myself and our two beautiful children for the next two weeks! Looking forward to a simple stay-cation and visiting a few of the treasures around Atlanta throughout the time we have off together! Skyler will be excited to see the Aquarium, he is really into hammerhead sharks right now, not even sure he's seen a real one but somehow has made connections between hammerheads and various things that share the shape of a hammer? Also, hoping to have lunch at the Chuck's for some fun and games, also looking to take Skyler bowling for the first time, and possibly enjoy some pool time. I am the palest person ever to have been off work so long, just haven't seen a ton of sun with a new baby on a monitor, so hoping to catch up on some rays since she's off the monitor and growing!  Anyway, got the house cleaned spic and span and one day from our family enjoying some time together. 

We are purchasing a membership to the YMCA! Very excited! I am closing in quickly on the end of my boot camp sessions and looking to keep the momentum and hopefully begin to see some changes in my body soon, as the last month of boot camp has kicked my boots and yet they are still the same size? GO figure? Anyway, hoping to get our calendar set as I am looking to get a few mornings off from taking the kids and a few afternoons from picking them up.  Now that there are two of them it definitely changes things for drop off and pick up! So, daddy is jumping in at my request to give me some time without them in the car and to allow me some time to go to the gym just after work, possibly before work if it works out occasionally! Excited about these changes and think it will make life better for all of us, no more mommy to the rescue all the time and no more where is daddy!?! Life is looking less stressful at a stressful time.  Looking forward to getting back to the normal of school schedule and life at work after having off for almost 7 months!

Getting lessons ready and hoping to work in a few extra things this year! I am wanting to push for an Art Club and getting ready for making the move to make some BIG projects! Also, hoping to take some of our work outside the bulletin boards and possibly outside of our school!  It could be big if my efforts can align with the time and the work! Also, have to get in with appropriate connections in order to make it happen!
