My Summer Favorites!

As the summer winds down, I just thought I would write down a few of my favorites from this past summer.  Hopefully, this will give you a peek into Mrs. Bieber’s thoughts right now!

My Top Ten Favorites from Summer 2013

Note:  They are not in any special order!

1.)  I enjoyed tasting a new dessert, to me, in Hawaii called “samurai.”  I just love it!  It is a cool and refreshing treat that is a cross between a creamy firm ice cream and a fruit smoothie.  My favorite flavor was strawberry.  I ate it way too many times while I was there.

2.)  I got to kayak with my son Adam in the Pacific Ocean!

3.)  I journaled and slept in a hammock on the beach!

4.)  I got to stay in a room next to my Tutu (the Hawaiian name for Grandparent).  She is 93 and she is strong and sharp!  We had many sweet conversations.

5.)  I went to an awesome conference called “BLOOM,” with some of my staff girls.  We were all encouraged to “bloom where we are planted.”

6.)  I worked as a camp director and loved getting hugs everyday from the precious campers.

7.)  I organized many areas of my classroom and home to prepare for the upcoming school year!

8.)  I celebrated my 28th anniversary with the love of my life, my husband Jeff.

9.)  I tried zumba and yoga again and loved both this time.  Teachers make a difference!

10.)  I had the privilege of working with a team of amazing young leaders this summer!  They continue to inspire and encourage me!

I hope your summer was productive, creative, lovely, fun, and filled with special memories!
