school year: day 1

The first day of school.

So fun. Exhausting. Great. Inspiring.

I can’t believe that my summer break is officially over and I am back at work.  Honestly I love my job and I am excited about what this school year has in store for me and my coworkers.  We are now up to 62 students (44 last year).  That is a lot of kiddos in the 4 classrooms we have…plus staff.

Anyway.  Cheers to the new year!

This Notice of Proposed Land Use Action sign went up on the fence of the “pit” in Greenlake.  Hilarious!

Who knew you could buy a cow bell at the hardware store.

Today is my mom’s birthday, so I made a stamp in her honor. (Happy Birthday Mom!)

Red wine and crappy TV. Love it.

We both keep looking at one another saying “6 years? 6 years!”  Yes, 6 wonderful years.  On this day we exchanged vows, kissed, and had a party.  What a blast.  So to celebrate our anniversary we had a date.  Patrick likes to plan a night out and not let me in on any detail.  I was told to be ready at 7:00 and dressed casual.

We drove downtown, parked near Pike Place and arrived at Matt’s in the Market.  Great table with a view of the famous marque.  Amazing wine.  Delicious food.  The best guy.

After our meal we walked round the area to enjoy the warm evening and people watch.  At home I prepared a quick mocha milkshake and we sat on the front steps and talked about the past 6 years we have shared together. 

A fabulous night with the best husband in the world.  I love you boo.
