August Already!?

I still can't believe it is August! This summer has gone by quickly! It's kinda crazy to think that I have been out of school for almost 4 months...it seems like just yesterday school was just getting out for the summer! The student/future teacher in me always associates August with going back to school. I just get into school mode when August rolls around! One of my favorite parts of school starting back up is...BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING! :) I went with Connie, Amy, & Peyton yesterday and didn't end up buying anything with them. I brought Casey back to the mall with me and bought a few of the things that I really liked. :) Sometimes all I need is my husband's stamp of approval to buy things...i'm just too indecisive for shopping! The 4 things that I bought yesterday :) The white flare pants...so comfy...so cute! Only $12 at New York & Company... I couldn't pass them up! They will give me a taste of summer when it's icky outside I think! My burnout with rhinestones on it! I have been wanting a shirt like this for a year now, so I was pretty excited when I found this one and Casey loved it! The beautiful navy lace top that I plan to wear with my white pants/jeans! :) Last, but not least, my PLANNER! It is zebra! Yay! :) August is going to be a good month...some of the things that I am looking forward to are:

• I only have 2 more weeks of babysitting (thank goodness. I'm sure there will be a future post about that experience).
• I also get to go to some teacher meetings and trainings in about 2 weeks! I'm not required to go to any of them, but I am a slight overachiever, and I figure why not learn EVERYTHING possible before I have to do this all on my own right!? (Plus it gets me out of babysitting for 2 days).
• We also get to see my family for 3 weekends in a row! I am excited about that...we haven't had a whole lot of time with them this summer, so it will be good to see them a lot!
• Casey starts school August 22nd! He is going part time this semester so that he can still work full time, but I am excited for him to get going with school!
• AUBRI'S BRIDAL SHOWER is coming up! I AM SO EXCITED! I found the cutest party favor boxes for the party favors I am giving to all the girls that come to the shower...really, if I was rich this would be the most fabulous shower ever, but I hope she still loves it!

• My little sister Jaylen turns 16 on August 29th! I can't even believe it, but i'm SO excited for her!
• I start student teaching August 29th and begin my final countdown to being a college grad :)

Happy August everyone! Enjoy your final days of summer! Casey & I are heading to the pool...only a few good pool days left! :)
