This morning we flew from Honolulu to Kauai to experience our second island of our trip. We’ve heard good things about Kauai and were told that it was completely different from Oahu. We were going to spend three days there, but ended up having to make it only two because of booking activities in Maui.

The school year has come to a close, which means I have completed my first year of teaching. I wanted to reflect while everything is still fresh and top of mind. So much happened this school year that I never want to forget.

My mom and I spent my spring break at Disney and wanted to do as many “hidden gem” activities as we could! We’ve been to Disney so many times, we wanted to find some things we’d never done before. One of those was going to see the Tangled and Peter Pan mosaics at Disney’s new Riviera Resort!

2020 was, in short, a shitshow. Am I right? However, at least for me personally, it wasn’t all bad. In fact, in reviewing my year through my One Second a Day video from 2020, I have to acknowledge that my 2020 was pretty dang great. I coached my first winter guard season for Parrish Community High, we went to Nashville, I got engaged, Jared and I bought a house, I spent a summer in the Keys with my parents and our dogs, I got my first teaching job with the absolute best group of kids, we went to almost every home Gator game, I reached the 250 club in Pure Barre, I became TikTok famous (follow me @sammyraejohnson), and I got to do all the wedding festivities a bride not in the middle of a pandemic would get to do surrounded by people who love me.

ONE MONTH UNTIL THE WEDDING!! How is that even real?! This past month was full of fun wedding planning that got derailed a bit by 2 positive COVID cases in our household. That’s right – Jared and I both tested positive the week before Thanksgiving. While this made me have to cancel some important meetings (touring the venue again with the wedding planner and meeting with the photographer), it also gave me lots of free time to get other wedding items checked off my to-do list. So here’s what I’ve been up to the last month!
