Making A List and Checking it Once

Summer supposedly arrived yesterday, although the weather was questionable, and today is a beautiful day. Summer has arrived today.

There are many perks to being a teacher and one of those happens to be having a couple months off during the summer. Well, at least most teachers do and I happen to be one of them. I have a list of things I want to do this summer, both fun and not so fun, and I've made a list at the beginning of every summer for the past few years. This summer will be no different; however, I hope to check more of my items off of my lists.

Not so fun list:

• clean the carpets
• clean the front closet
• clean out Chad's closet
• clean out my closet
• organize the linen closet
• clean out our storage
• file all our personal paperwork in the bottom of Chad's closet
• clean out the kitchen cupboards

I'm sure there is more that I need to clean and organize...

The fun to do list:

• hike Mt. Si
• visit Mt. St. Helens
• take the ferry to the jetti
• visit Mt. Rainier
• hike the ice caves
• travel to Idaho
• get baptized
• see the fuss about Forks where Twilight was filmed
• go canoeing
• play with nieces and nephews
• go through all my classroom stuff and organize it
• walk Green Lake weekly
• go see the horse races
• go see the car races
• eat lunch at the new Hard Rock Cafe in Seattle
• GO TO THE ZOO! I LOVE THE ZOO!

I'm sure thare are many more fun things to add to my list, but for now this will do.

Happy summer everyone!
