Happy Friday: Summer is Here!


This was another short week, and one that felt long! I think my class and I have spring fever, which makes getting through the days a little bit difficult!  We only have 19 days of school left before we do the "Big Wave" outside of school as the busses pull away for the last time.  I have to say that as much as I'm looking forward to summer vacation, I'll be sad to say goodbye to this group of kids.  Whenever we have visitors into our classroom, they note how wonderful the class is.  I'm lucky!  

Here's my top 5 for the week!

1. I got to spend an extra day with Marc this past weekend.  We were able to hang out, unwind and see a few friends!  Life has been filled with family events, wedding events for friends, and work, that we've had little down time.  We're really looking forward to our getaway in July!

2. I went shopping for the first time in a REALLY long time! I have been starting to pick up a few things for my trip to Europe...even picking up scarves to wear around my head when we head to Morocco.  A trip always gets me excited to shop!


3. I got a facial on Wednesday. Trips to the spa are necessary to unwind, and I've found a spa that I really love.  Bella Maiya Day Spa is located in Briarcliff Manor, New York. I booked an appointment for Spa Week, and this was my second visit! In fact, this summer they're giving teachers 30% off any of their full price services!  If you go, tell them Amanda sent you! Bella Maiya Day Spa


4. Visiting Bellvale Farms Ice Cream Shop (Warwick, NY).   The ice cream at this place was delicious, but the view makes it even better.  You have a view of the entire Hudson Valley as you sit and eat your ice cream on the hill outside the shop.  I'm sure I'll be visiting this place a few more times this summer.  I better jog home after, too. ;)


5. Christmas Vacation Trip: BOOKED! Well, when you're in a new relationship with someone, as time passes you learn more and more about them.  Marc and I have discovered we are both major planners, which could be a good thing if we use it in the right way.  Every night this past week we have been talking on the phone until 11:30 PM discussing vacation plans for Christmas.  We finally decided on a place, and are very excited about it!  We're hoping that both  his and my family will join us.  I'm not sharing where we're going JUST yet, but it is, by far, one of my most favorite places on Earth. ;)
