We have done many fun & relaxing & non-school related things since our last post about visiting NYC! And we've had so much fun doing them that I haven't spent much time on this ol' computer talking about them :)
So I'll give you a quick update and recap, and just ask you to forgive me for not being more intentional with the blog...
Since we visited NYC in May, we have spent many lazy days at home being silly and finding fun ways to remember summer. I have so many simple things etched permanently in my mind. The unexpected (and highly sought after) eruptions of laughter from my two sweet girls. Vacation. A clubhouse constructed of blankets and string. Playing in the hose. Popsicles. The smell of hot dogs on the grill. Getting excited when Mike's truck pulls into the driveway. Grinning uncontrollably when I see him coming up the front porch steps. Sunsets. Swinging. Coloring. Visiting with great friends. Tag. Reading bedtime stories way past bedtime. Sleeping in. Getting up early. Going for walks. Spontaneous visits with Grandma & Grandpa. And a million other things that I will forever ponder in my heart.
God is so good. When He gives rest. It's restful indeed :)
And now, the season of hard work begins again. But I've come to realize that if we never had the opportunity to work hard...we'd never really enjoy the rest. And I'm ready.
Thus begins the last semester (Lord willing) of this journey called nursing school. Come quickly December. And be gentle!
