It's the 3rd week of July - already. Wow. 2010 is halfway over! Wow! In the next few weeks, I will turn 30 and start my final year of school for my BA in English. Another wow. I can't believe how quickly the past few years have gone... especially when I think about the boys. Landen will be 5 and Graden will be 3 in the next few months! I feel myself getting older. Not in a old-achy-body kind of way. In a I-appreciate-so-many-things kind of way. I'm almost tired of talking about "how far I've come" because about the time I do something else goes wrong as a reminder that I can get through it... Like a few weeks ago when my wallet was stolen and then last week when the transmission went out in my van! Neat. Really neat. So, yep, summer has been great... :)
And, our summer has also been a whirlwind. I thought I'd have plenty of time for myself, the boys, and my projects. Turns out - I had time for all sorts of other things, too - we've just kept busy, busy! The boys and I are home most days and we're enjoying every minute. I know come the 2nd week of August, our lives will be bombarded with changing schedules and several new projects. I'll be taking more classes than I ever have (5!) and working more hours at IPFW. The boys will be attending a preschool and extended care program. Phil - well, we don't know what he'll be doing yet!
Back to summer - - it's been hot and great! We've played outside and we love to drive around with the windows rolled down. The boys think it's hilarious to see my hair fly all around (it's a silly sight!) and love the radio turned up loud! I'm telling you - - there's nothing better than just being silly with these two boys! Every single day they say something to make me smile or laugh... they touch my heart in ways I can't explain... goodness knows I've tried. I hope your summer has been just as 'silly'. Until next time...
