What’s Up June

         Happy Sunday, Y'all

Today, I'm joining Shay and Sheaffer for their What's Up Wednesday link-up. Somehow I missed posting last month. But I suppose that makes sense. After all, life has been a bit crazy for the past month or so. Between the "normal end of the school year, exams, helping to plan a big banquet for our juniors and seniors, getting my classroom and apartment ready to be closed up for the summer, and worrying about the political state of the country... 

Well, it's been a bit crazy, indeed.

Anywho... On with the post. Each month we answer the same list of questions based on how things are currently going in our lives.

So let's get started...

What am I eating?

I've been back in the US for a few weeks, enjoying all the typical "tastes of home." Things like this delicious bowl of tomato gravy...

What are you reminiscing about?

It's been 20 years since I graduated high school. I've been doing quite a bit of reminiscing since our 20 year reunion was last week. Some days it feels like it was just yesterday that we were putting on those green caps and gowns. Then other days, especially when working with students the age I was then, I realize... Boy, am I old! ;)

 What am I loving?

All the time I’ve had with my nieces. Between pancake making and dropping them off at church camp to lunch dates and playing games… I love spending all this time with them!

What have I been up to?

I’ve been speaking at churches, visiting friends and family, and resting/recovering after a not so good school year… It’s been a great summer so far! That’s for sure!

What am I dreading?

Nothing at the moment… Except for maybe going outside in the record breaking heat most of Alabama is currently experiencing.

What am I working on?

I’m doing very little work-related things at the moment. I’ll deal with those later.

 What am I excited about?

Family time, of course :)

What am I reading?

Nothing at the moment… However, I did buy a couple new books at Target the other day, since they were on sale. Yay for cheap books!

What am I watching?

I love watching my brother with his girls. It’s so sweet! 

What am I listening to?

Nothing new…

What am I wearing?

I got this teacher shirt in the mail the other day. It’s super soft and comfy and it’s cute too.

 What am I doing this weekend?

I’m hanging out with my favorites. We’ve been having all sorts of memory making fun together. Then we’ll be going to church today and going out to lunch together after that.

What am I looking forward to next month?

It’ll still be Summer Vacation for most of the month, so more days of not setting an alarm clock, of course :)

Favorite recent Amazon find?

Nothing terribly exciting… I did order a big pack of shelf stable bacon and some fun post-it notes since they were on sale for cheaper than Walmart, though.

What's new this month?

I saw this quote on Facebook the other day. I’m trying to do better at this… Saying no and setting boundaries when you’re a people pleaser and take on too much is sometimes hard. But this upcoming school year, I’m planning to do/be better.

And that's what I'm up to this month.

What about you?

What are YOU up to this month?
