Quick Thoughts

If I have any regular followers, I'm sorry I've been AWOL lately. Life has been being lived and I've just not taken time out to reflect. So we're leaving tomorrow for two weeks and I have a few things on my mind, some thoughts I need release. Here they are in no particular order.

I'm feeling at peace for our neighbor who lost his painful battle with brain cancer last night and sadness for his family and Auburn University where he was a beloved swim coach.

I'm amazed my little Camryn is swimming like a fish and I'm not exaggerating! Jumping into deep water, surfacing, and swimming to the side where she starts all over again. That girl is wearing me (and my bathing suits) out.

I'm glad the "road rash" on Aidan's face has almost completely disappeared. It was downright gruesome at it's worst. I can actually look him in the eyes without crying now.

I'm now looking forward to two days in the car with the family. As much as I've complained, I realized we haven't had a family meal since David's company filed bankruptcy. It'll be nice to reconnect. I'll probably take this all back before we're through Atlanta, but right now I'm hopeful.

I'm proud to live in a city on a "best" list. We know we love it, now other people can see why.

I can't wait to be with my big family all at once. They fill me with so much love, crack me up like no others, and rejuvenate my spirit. They are what I miss about Michigan. They are "home".

I'm not scared about David's job security. What happens, happens. We'll just roll with it.

I'm thankful to all the people I interact with everyday, that make me smile, make my kids happy, are apart of our lives here in Auburn. We'll miss you while we're gone.

Happy Summer!!
