Grown Up Emily

I am a Lutheran school teacher who is (quickly) learning what it is like to be an adult. My husband (also a Lutheran school teacher), Caleb, and I have recently purchased a new home and are taking each day as the Lord gives it to us. This is a sporadic tale of our journey of faith, love, and pullin up our britches when times get tough! We love to see what God has in store for us.

Beachy Clean & Sun-Kissed

I love the beach.  I love everything about the hot sun on my face, warm breeze through my hair, toasty sand in my toes, and cool (albeit cold, since I am in MI) water.  There is something so rejuvenating about being outside at the beach, soaking in the Vitamin D.

This was my second beach venture for the year (the first in April for Spring Break) and I forget how much I enjoy it.  I was in Grand Haven last weekend celebrating Erin again!  It was for her bachelorette party and I must say that I would love to go there again.  I had never been there before and it is such a lovely city.





It was also their kite festival so the sky was FULL of kites.  Some kites were absolutely beautiful/cool (pterodactyl) and others were...interesting (a women's legs in heels and a black one that looked like a Dementor).




My favorite thing though is that I did not burn to a crisp!  I put sunscreen on, like a good girl, and prevented a terrible burn.  I now have nice, healthy color on my skin which will help me build up all summer.  I also just spent two days outside for recess at school so that is also helping seal in my bronze-iness. :)

I just need to shrink my tummy now and I will be all set.  I have begun running more/jogging because I hear it is good for me. :P  I forgot how much I have never been a long distance runner; however, I am up, moving, and getting SOME cardio in and that makes me happier too. Speaking of, Caleb and I both jogged to Meijer and back last night.....to buy some ice cream.  I had to work for that dessert! :)

We have 9 1/4 days of school left! I honestly can not believe how fast May flew by.  I thought it was going to drag on but nope...here we are on May 23 and June 7th is around the corner!!!  We had to have some serious discussions about homework and attitudes today in school...or our own beach day will not happen.  It seemed to work though today and I pray they continue the way they did today for the last few days!

Mother's Day came and went.  We went out to eat with Caleb's family and then spent a few hours at grandma's house going through things.  I just wish that I could have celebrated Mother's Day too...

Soon and very soon, right God??
