Where did that blogger go???

Tonight is one of the first nights that I have really used my laptop here at home in a few weeks. I realized that my busy schedule lately has left me checking both emails and facebook via Blackberry. Don't get me wrong, I love this feature of my phone, but when wanting to really browse my internet addictions, it leaves something to be desired. That is why, after fixing dinner and cleaning the kitchen, I decided to dust off the purple Dell and take it for a spin. As I checked my facebook and did the normal rounds, I realized that it had been a while since I blogged. This once outlet, de-stressor, and overall pleasure of mine has apparently gone to the waste-side. My last blog entry was MONTHS ago. I can't believe that I have let myself get this busy! So I took a few minutes and thought about what had been keeping me from my blogging. I am in the second month of a new school year. I must say that this is going to be a great year. This group of kids will be loads of fun, and they seem to be quite the little workers already. I have plenty of interesting and fun things already spinning around in my head to do with this group. I am in the process of expanding PBIS and the Book Fair is a month away! My mind is going a million miles an hour when it comes to work. Luckily for me, I absolutely love it! Thank the Lord I love what I do and feel that passion for it. So...yeah this could keep me from blogging the night away. Then I think even more. My summer was super busy! I didn't do any big traveling. I took a couple little weekend getaway trips here and there, quite a bit of local running around, and found myself in the local country most of the time. The major thing that I did was spend lots of time with a very special person. You see, I found the perfect guy. A few months before summer started, I began to talk to, and eventually start dating this guy. The more time I spent with him, the more I realized he was a really great guy. Well, days turned to weeks, and weeks now to months. Here I am totally in love and just overly happy most of the time. I walk around with that goofy look on my face, and I find things like housework even more enjoyable. It's funny how falling in love can make everything else seem like it has this extra glow to it. Things that I once found to be very ordinary, now seem to have an extra spark to them and I see life in a bit of a different way. I was happy before with me and my life, but now I have this new appreciation for it. I loved who I was and what I was doing with my life, now I love this person that is in my life in a way I didn't realize possible. That kind of love where sitting on the couch watching movies feels like the best night ever! You wonder why you never realized how much fun and happiness this couch could bring you.....oh yeah...it's cause we are here together. :) I spent an entire summer like this with Dexter. We really got to know the real us. We became very close, and looked twice and realized we had become best friends. We piddled around Carrier Mills and Stonefort and places near by all summer long. We didn't do much of anything, but it felt like everything to us. It was the best summer yet. So I guess this explains why I became a temporary MIA Blogger. I can't imagine that will become a habit, though. I love blogging way too much. And I feel that with the school year in full swing, there will be many inspirations for new blogs coming my way. So don't fret the probable two avid readers of this blog. (Ha, ha)
