Because it’s almost over and that makes me sad. 

July was a good month.  Here’s some of my favorite parts:

We celebrated my husband’s two year anniversary of being clean and sober.

My good friend, Kaitlyn, guest posted about photography.

I found a new author I’m really enjoying.

We spent a week at the lake with my family.

I finally took the tags off this dress and have been wearing it non-stop.

And I started my seventh year of teaching.  Bittersweet, for sure.

To me, August holds such promise, a new school year, a new schedule, new people, and new stuff.  A chance to start again–I’m looking forward to what’s in store and I hope your August (and mine) will be blessed.
