As a teacher I have the summer off and it's been officially summer for me now for one week. I am not ashamed in the least to admit that this is what my life has looked like for most of it, relaxing. The end of the school year was hard on me. I was was sick for several weeks and broke out in hives for a couple weeks after having some sort of viral infection. On top of all of that I was finishing end of school stuff, my normal teaching duties, coaching track, planning the school's banquet, and an art show. I am not a person who likes to be busy, in fact I keep a calendar only out of necessity. So, it was very draining. Needless to say, my body and mind are enjoying a vacation.

Now that I've had a week to decompress, it's time to accomplish some things before we head out on a few adventures. My thought is that hopefully if I share this, then I will do it. So here goes nothing:


Before Summer Adventures begin:
Clean House (Really clean, & Organize too!)
Organize My Closet (This needs it's own line)
Try my best to pack LIGHTLY for our trips - this is a very difficult task for me.
Finish redesigning blog (Did you notice the change? - it might be a little crazy around here)
Plan some of our time in the San Francisco area - any suggestions?


Hopefully that will do the trick. Let me know if you have any tips on San Francisco or packing lightly!

For my 25th birthday Jordan took me to dinner at Libertine in downtown Indy. They are known for their fun cocktails, we enjoyed scouring the menu for the perfect one. In true kaytea fashion I ordered a cocktail off the menu, Rabbit's Foot. After dinner we went to the beautiful Indiana Repertory Theatre. We saw The Game's Afoot, a humorous Sherlock Holmes kind of play. We were laughing the entire time - nice choice, Jordan. And below are some of the fun things that my students and coworkers did to celebrate my birthday. Everyone did such a great job of making me feel loved.

Since Jordan wasn't home when I got home from work, he left me gifts a long the staircase.
