Lately

School's out and the nights roll in
Man, just like a long lost friend
You ain't seen in a while
And can't help but smile...

 Perfect song on the radio
Sing along 'cause it's one we know
It's a smile, it's a kiss
It's a sip of wine, it's summertime
Sweet summertime

Summer is here and, as it tends to do, is flying by. It's been a great, busy, and exciting summer so far. Here's what I've been up to...

1. I've been teaching summer school, AND I got a new teaching position. My dream job. I will be moving to middle school to be a 7th grade reading teacher in August, and I couldn't be happier. I have never been more excited for summer to fly by. That's crazy talk though!! This is while I was packing up my old room. The end of a great chapter.

 2. Royal's games. We've been to a few games and can hardly wait until the All Star Game festivities in just a few weeks!!

 3. Buzz Beach Ball concert. My favorites were Kimbra ("I wanna settle down...") and...

 (3. continued) Foster the People.

 4. Attempting to take better care of our yard especially in this summer heat...and trying to get the dogs to play in the sprinklers. "Heck no dad!"

 5. Pool time with my sister. We take beverages and burn tan and talk for hours. Love it!

 6. Softball. The hubby is in a summer softball league with some work buddies, so this is how we spend our Thursday evenings. It makes me reminisce when I used to watch him play in high school. :) Oh sweet memories.

 7. Hellooo Kansas summer! Highs will be in the 90s all week, and the girls love sun bathing on the deck. Then they come inside and lay on the floor panting for about 10 minutes. Crazy Beagles.

And to close, my favorite, favorite summer song.
