The Best Laid Plans

After attending #cisdlitcamp, I had the best intentions of reading, blogging, and growing myself as a reader and writer in order to grow my learners in August. I was doing great at first- I was reading books, I wrote my first blog post in over a YEAR, and was doing research for my 2nd one... and then I got the call that my Grandpaw was in the ICU and it was unlikely that he was going to survive.

I took the first plane down to Houston on Friday, June 24, and was there for 2 weeks, until he passed away on July 5th, 2016. While I know one day I will feel ready to write about what happened, today is not that day.

Today is just simply to say that I'm back and ready to dive back into the world of books and writing. 

While my summer hasn't gone exactly as planned, I did still go on my trip to San Francisco and Las Vegas! If you've never been to San Francisco, I highly recommend it! It's one of my favorite places!

The PRETTIEST PLANT! IF you know what it is, LET ME KNOW!

July is HERE!

I am linking up with Farley's "Currently"

I can't believe July is already here! This summer has been productive, relaxing, and FUN! My birthday is just a few days away, and I can't wait to celebrate on a patio with a few of my friends.
I signed up to run a 1/2 marathon this October and what happens?! SHIN SPLINTS. I've been working really hard to rest and use the ICE method to hopefully get better quickly. I miss running already.
After a visit with my grandparents today, I am realizing the importance of photos and how they can bring back memories. I have thousands saved to my computer and online, but have very few that are actually printed. It's my goal to start printing them off and putting them in REAL photo albums!
Have a safe and happy 4th of July!!
