yeah!!!! i'm done with school!!!!
now i have 10 weeks off!!!
(not to mention the other 23 vacation days--wow, almost 5 work weeks- i had throughout the school year)
man i love being in the schools!!!

also, i found out that i get to be at the same schools next year, so i am extremely excited.
this was my fourth year as a speech therapist and it has been my best.
i was telling this to a group of kids on their last day of speech and one little peanut said,
"it's my fourth year of speech, too, and it's been MY best."
yay!

on my list of things i want to do this summer:
1. go to the beach as much as possible
2. go back to cincinnati to see family and friends
3. finally do my scrapbook of our first year in san diego
4. maybe take a class? (nah...)
5. get a pedicure (ha! i don't know why, but i really want to do this! probably because i have been wearing sandals every day since march and am tired of my feet)
6. camp up the coast of california with my husband (which we have 5 different places reserved from august 10-17) one of the places we have reserved is called a hotel, where we are ending up our trip in san francisco.

i woke up at 6:45 today. why, you (and i) ask? well, because that's the time i get up every day when i'm working WHICH I'M NOT. oh well, i have some last minute shopping to do before ryan and michelle get here. man i'm looking forward to the field (yummy cool irish pub we go to), at ryan's request. and wahoo's fish taco...they just opened a new one in point loma--BIG MISTAKE---we've been there 3 times in the past 4 days. yikes! but it is by far our favorite restaurant here!!!!

yay! grammy wrote!!! i can't wait to see your new cute haircut!!! i'll have to get all the details of the shoulder surgery when i come to visit in a couple of weeks.

well, lots of things happening---i'm back on the blog train again. and justin, don't you quit on us!!! we'll miss you if you don't blog! and why don't you just come out with mikey? hey, did you get your harry potter book from us yet? it was supposedly going to be delivered on the 12th. or was it the 22nd? i also was thinking of your production company (of which i can't wait to be the social organizer) the other day--i can't wait until that happens!!!

also, happy 1 year anniversary mary and casey (tomorrow)!!!!
you guys are alllllllllllsome! i can't believe you guys saw a bear--that is so sweet. did you run after it and try to hug it?
i would have.
also, ramona is beautiful, if i remember correctly. when we drive to the desert, we start off here at the ocean, then through ramona, which is green and lush and foresty, and then an hour later we are in the hot, desolate desert. fun to see 3 totally different terrains in less than 2 hours of driving. mom and dad good, you remember that, eh? have so much fun on your vacation!!!! and grammy and granddad and the burns family!!!

my friend regina just had her baby-- a little girl named maria.
congratulations!!!!! she is so beautiful!!!!!
