September...new beginnings

I can't believe September is already here.  It's a little bittersweet since I'm not going back to having my own classroom right now.  There are some great opportunities coming and I just had a great weekend.

The Sleeping Giant Mountains from Quinnipiac University :)

I spent last week preparing for this new stage of my life and even had a chance to catch up with my mentor/friend.  She is a great role model and I thank God that she has been put into my life.  She may not realize it, but she has made an impact on my life and I don't think I can thank her enough for it.

I also had a chance to catch up with a former colleague.  We met for drinks and she was so nice to pay for it.  It was good to just get out and enjoy some company.

Yesterday was fun because I started my travel season by driving up to Quinnipiac University and visit my cousin.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day and the campus is beautiful.  We got a chance to explore the town and the surrounding areas.  It wasn't too bad of a drive and only took under 2 hours to get there.  I am hoping to go back up and visit soon :)

Lesson in church on life knots: our past, motives, and loyalties...what do you struggle with?

Well this week will be interesting.  I have grad class starting on Wednesday and will be gone this upcoming weekend :) The weekend I have been waiting for is just a few days away now :)
