Welcome to Summer!!!

It's summer!!!!!! The last day of school was Friday and it was a wonderful end to this year. This year has been crazy and horrible and wonderful all at the same time. But I made it through with the help of these amazing children. This is most of my kids from both classes. They took care of me when I couldn't bend or lift anything. And all of their hugs and the many notes I received from them and all of their expressions of "How is your back?" and "I love you, Miss Myntti!" was the best medicine I could ask for!


There is no way I could have made it though this year without these amazing girls. Thank you Kerry, Heather, Jessica, and RaeAnn (I wish you were in this picture! Welcome back to the Kindergarten hall!) for listening to my ranting and raving about all of the craziness in my life. Thank you for writing sub plans, preparing materials, moving tables, and doing all of the other things that you did for me. Most of all, thank you for the hugs and visits and for your friendship. I love you all and could not survive without you!


And thank you to the amazing moms who supported me all year and spoiled me rotten with gifts and parties and expressions of concern. You are all wonderful!!!


So now it is summer. And while I am going to miss my kids and their moms, I am so excited for some rest and relaxation that doesn't involve being forced to lay in bed. My plans for the summer include finishing getting my house set up, relaxing by the pool in the sunshine, spending time with my wonderful family and friends, reading in the sunshine, finishing my Masters Degree, and getting back in shape so I feel like myself again. I know some of you think I am crazy, but it is my goal to run in the Manila Fun Run in September. So, my summer will be spent getting ready for that. Physical Therapy has been AMAZING and I already feel much better. I like to pretend he is my personal trainer instead of my therapist! :) And he said he will have me winning that race, so watch out. . . I am going to kick some butt!!!! Happy summer to all!!!
