Reagan had her birthday at a kid's place called Hickory Dickory Dock. It's kind of like a Chucky Cheese, but bigger. We didn't know that two area elementary schools were having a sleep over there the same night as our party. There were sooo many kids there. It was stressful for the adults, trying to keep up with their children. My cousin's husband asked if we were going to pass out nerve pills for the parents. Ha, ha! But, Reagan and her friends had a great time! Reagan got to wear her birthday tiara, which she thought was just awesome...
Well, I wanted to let everyone know that I will be teaching fourth grade this fall at a local Christian school. It is called Hickory Christian Academy. I am very excited! Reagan will be able to go with me since she will be starting kindergarten. This is my dream come true. Did I mention that I am EXCITED??? I will have a class of thirteen students. The students were uniforms, which I think is great. Reagan and I will be ordering her uniforms soon from the Lands End student catalog. I will be taking lots and lots of pics of my class and the school this fall.
The school is having a 5K run at the end of August and I plan running in it. I have been jogging since the end of April. I can now run 2.5 miles w/o feeling bad. When I first started running again, it was difficult to run a mile. I am working on my time. Sunday I ran w/ my dad and it helps to have a running partner. He was ahead of me in the beginning of our run and I thought, wait a minute... I'm letting a 60 yr. old beat me... what's wrong w/ this picture??? :) Dad is going to run the 5K w/ me. So, I need to work up to 3.1 miles in the next month. It has been so hot here, it's been hard to find a time to run. Today it is in the 70s though and it feels great! We have had record breaking heat and no rain! I am glad I am running again. I have missed it! I much prefer running to walking...
We are going to the beach for a few days on Saturday!! Will be posting vacation pics soon!
We went to North Myrtle Beach this week. The weather was great! Mid 80's and so nice! And, it actually rains there... Ha, ha! The girls had so much fun. Cara Grace is quite the adventurer... She had a blast at the water park near our hotel. She wanted to play like to big kids- she has no fear. She is very different than Reagan. She reminds me of Curious George the monkey! Austin and I got to see two movies! We don't get to go to the movies very often. My hair wanted to curl w/ the humidity, so I let it. C.G. and I both were sporting our curls. My hair is made for humidity, I think. I ran on the beach w/ my sister and nephew. I discovered how slow I've been jogging, they wore me out! Kendal was running circles around me. He has sooo much energy! It was great to spend some time w/ my sister's family. We don't get to see them as often as we would like.
