The Serendipities of Summer '17

I Like to Do Updates

Dear Reader, One of my most defining attributes in journal writing is the presence of very many updates for the [usually] months I haven't written. Thankfully this time it's just been weeks, and this will also be infinitely easier with photos. So enjoy what is assuredly the first of my many "update" posts😉 So actually this was taken like the night before I started this blog, right after the moment the idea came to me! This is Cooper and Casey in the front on our way to Institute jammin' to Dirty Little Secret. The next day mom and I went up to Elizabeth City to help grandma and grandpa clean out their attack in preparation for moving. One of the rivers we cross over to get to Elizabeth City. Mom's wedding dress. I was trying it on to see if there was any possibility of my wanting to keep any part of it for my someday wedding. I think I might just want to keep the sleeves😉 Emma girl's 7th birthday on June 2! I missed her partie...

The End of a Great Love Affair

Dear Reader, The greatest love of my life has become lost to me today. In fact, just thirty minutes ago. I am never. Never. Never. NEVER EVER EVER EVERRRRRRR living in North Carolina! EVER! I am not even being silly. This is all in dead and complete seriousness, because I almost WAS DEAD. I was grumpy because I didn't get to go on a walk this morning and I ate pretty crappily today so when I got home from getting groceries for tomorrow I decided to go on a walk to lift my spirits and even took Willie so that mom and dad could have some peace of mind when they came home knowing that Willie had gotten his exercise in for the day. And then, because Willie is the biggest pain in the butt known to man when he goes on a walk, I took him back home halfway so I could just listen to my music [current obsession: Styx] and finish my walk peacefully. Ugh, tender mercy number one. *shiver* So I started my second go round of the neighborhood, and it's getting pretty dark but...

2017 Summer Inauguration [AKA Memorial Day]

Dear Reader, Memorial Day was pure summer bliss! I ended up not having to work either which I wasn't expecting. Keaton and Lillian and Paxton slept over Sunday night, and I woke up around 9 that morning and went on a run for the first time in a while and it was such a beautiful morning and was such a perfect summery start to what is in my opinion the first real day of summer! When I came home, we all got ready to go to Ashton and Chris' pool at Olde Liberty [and let me tell you, for summer inauguration it's a process. The first swim means the first shave after winter😉 Lol jk I totally shave in the winter but still, lots of prep] and I put on my brand spankin' new purple bathing suit and off we all went! Watching Space Jam--Paxton's all-time favorite movie--before the pool We spent most of the day at the pool, with the little boys [except for Seeley] in these new things I've never seen before called puddle jumpers, which are like life jackets ...
