I think it was yesterday that our summer started?
But somehow we're at the end?
I guess I must have blinked.
The heat may remain for a while, but tomorrow I will officially say goodbye to summer.
And what a great summer it has been....
Having the chance to meet Katherine.
I mean honestly, who would have thought she would be willing to take a chance on meeting some crazy stalkers? And thankfully she did, along with her sweet friend Melanie. And I think she even still sort of likes us. Score!
Having this girl right here as a sidekick this summer.
Last summer it was lonely here, but thankfully I've found someone who doesn't seem to mind spending time with me.
And what about the visits from my Indiana girls?
Yeah, that makes for a great summer.
Having 10 solid days at home.
Experiencing crazy things.
Yeah, that makes for a great summer too.
Watching your kids make new friends.
And coming to love these friends dearly.
Or watching your kids spend time with kids they've known their entire lives...
Seeing how they've grown up together....
Yeah, that makes for a great summer too.
OR experiencing your first family vacation in 16 years.
Having a solid 7 days together.
A week that flew by...
A week that I am so grateful to have had.
And the extra time I got to spend with my sister, who I miss..... yeah, that makes for a great summer too.
The sweet time that we had to connect with our Burmese friends.
Watching my kids, reach out to them and show them love.
If I haven't said it enough...
We've had a great one.
My heart is full tonight, and the tears will come tomorrow.
Goodbye summer.
