10 Things

My friend Amanda did a list on her blog today entitled "10 Things Thursday" which listed 10 things that made her smile this week. Since I've been horribly lax in posting to my blog lately, and it is always good to be reminded of the great things in my life, I thought I would present to you a list of 10 things I love right now.

10 Things I Love Right Now
1. the excitement, and nervousness, of starting marching band camp tomorrow
2. the new AC I bought and installed in my bedroom - I finally slept well last night and wasn't melting
3. the piles of beautiful fabric I have lying around my apartment just waiting to be sewn into great things
4. living in Concord and feeling truly settled for the first time since I got back from Peru
5. my new students who keeping stopping by my office at school just to introduce themselves and say hi - I think they are very curious about me and are just too cute about it
6. knowing that my mom is at Georges Pond right now - I wish I could be there too, but it is nice to know she is there and enjoying a place we all love so much
7. all the times I got to hang out with Sean and Victoria this summer - it has been great to reconnect with them
8. my goddaughter Christel and her little sister Faith (and their parents Stacey and Fred) who I got to see on Tuesday - I hadn't seen them in months and it was so much fun to spend time with them at the Hedding pool
9. my sunburn that is turning into a tan - the sunburn wasn't fun at first, but it is nice to finally have a tan after being inside the office at camp all summer
10. spending time with Mom at Hedding at the beginning of the week - I was there for 24 hours and it finally felt like I was on vacation for the first time all summer - Mom and I shopped in Exeter, had dinner at Zampas, walked at Hedding, and sat on the porch and read - it was wonderful!
