Welcoming August

With the beginning of August comes the thoughts of going back to school. I always looked forward to going back to school. I was the kid that loved "back to school" shopping. Picking out folders and notebooks, packing up my pencils and pens into my backpack, and picking out what I wanted to wear on the first day was always exciting. The best kind of school shopping was when I was in elementary school because you had an art box. Markers, colored pencils, crayons.. I couldn't get enough. I haven't gone school shopping in a few years, but I still get a little excited when I see the displays in the stores.

Truth be told, I can't believe it is August already! It seems like summer just started yesterday. I'm sure the kids who are going back to school are wondering where their summer went. I may miss going back to school sometimes, but I'm definitely happy to be where I am.
