Where Has 2013 Gone?!

Wow, I can’t believe we’re almost through July already. Again, I’ve gotten way behind on my blog, which just seems to keep happening. When I read another person’s blog, I think, I really wish I had more time to keep up on my own blog! I’m hoping to try to organize my time a little better to try to do everything I want to do, so we’ll see how that goes!

Updates on life:

Work
I moved to a new pre-toddler room in March. I was sad to leave my other classroom, but it’s right next door, so I still see my “old” kids everyday. A lot of them have moved though, either to the other toddler classroom or back to the States. My new classroom is a younger group: our oldest kids are about 20 months and are youngest are 12 months old. It was initially hard to go back to kids who are still pretty unsteady on their feet and say few if any words, but I’m enjoying it now. Here are a few photos of “my kids”:

There is never a dull day at my job, and I love the kids I get to work with.

Travel
We haven’t really done much traveling lately. Our last trip was with Andrew’s parents to Wales in May. We kept busy and saw a lot of places around Cardiff. It was a really fun trip, and Andrew and I would love to get back to Wales soon!

My next trip will be back to the States for the weddings of my two middle sisters. They are only 5 weeks apart, so I’ll be there for nearly 7 weeks! Unfortunately, Andrew is not able to take that much time off from work, so I’ll be going alone. I’m excited to see my family and friends, but I’ll definitely be missing my hubby! 😦

Daily Life
I’m WAY behind on posting new recipes on here, so I will be trying to get caught up a little at a time. I’ll probably be able to do some of that while I’m back in the States with all of my free time, so look forward to that!

While I’ve had few crochet orders with the warmer weather, I’ve had plenty of projects to keep me busy: baby shower gifts, new patterns, and my temperature scarves. I’m starting to get more orders again, so personal projects will probably have to go on the back burner pretty soon.

I took a break from running last fall when I started working, and I really haven’t gotten back to it. 😦 I’m hoping to get myself on some sort of schedule when the weather cools off, since we’re experiencing a heat wave right now. We’ll see how that goes… I often come home from work pretty drained of energy, so my motivation to run is pretty low.

Hope you all are staying cool and enjoying your summer!
