Summer vacation begins…today!

So I finished grading and turned in my grades on Friday.  I picked up dinner on my way home, and Eric and I just hung out in the evening.  I got up just after 6 a.m. on Saturday so I could make it to CU on time to help my Mom with graduation.  It was pouring down rain all morning, so I wore my less-comfortable, waterproof shoes.  And the Cedarville wind broke my golf umbrella.    Even more sad, it was one of these umbrellas which is supposed to be wind-proof.

Anyway, graduation went fine.  It was a low-key ceremony, and I got to see lots of former students who graduated this year (wow…I’m old!).  But by the time the diploma part of the ceremony was over (I help direct traffic and try to keep the picture-taking parents under control), my feet were killing me (remember the less-comfortable, but waterproof shoes).  And I was starting to get a headache.  So I went home before graduation had ended (also beat traffic that way!). 

In the afternoon, we went to see Iron Man.  It’s a good movie.  Clean, funny, decent story (fairly predictable as superhero movies go).  I’d recommend it.  Then we went home and I fought my headache for the rest of the day by sitting on the couch, letting Eric cook dinner, and going to bed at 9:00 pm. 

Sunday was church, goofing off in the afternoon, then our Pastor’s 60th birthday party at the church.  It was a good time, and we got to sit with a number of couples from our small group.  Then we went home, watched some more TV, and went to bed.

This morning, I am officially on summer break. *huge sigh of relief*  My primary order of business is to relax and unwind from the stress of last week.  But I also need to do a couple of things to make myself feel like a real person again (instead of just a grader).  Of course, I don’t know what those things will be yet…but I’m sure I’ll come up with something. 

Happy Monday!
