Blog #1- July 24th

I don't know who is going to be reading this blog or following it, but I'm really excited to be writing it! I plan to write a blog entry every Sunday covering whatever is going on in our lives at that time. Here goes the first one:

Sweet summer time is almost over. I'll definitely miss sleeping in, our lack of plans, and spending all day with my family. I go back to school tomorrrow (for just a week) for a writing workshop. You know, for the last couple of days, I've kind of worked myself up for it. I really am excited to see the people I work with and haven't seen for over a month, but I'm not so excited about the workshop itself. I'd rather be at home doing what I do best. Oh well, I know once I get there that all will be fine. It's just hard to get up and go! After this workshop is over, next week will be my last week off with the fam. Summer really is coming to an end, so I do plan to make the most of my last week!

This past week or so has been great. We were very productive. I was able to get my house COMPLETELY clean! It's always nice to start back to work with a nice clean house. All three of our bedrooms were redecorated, the living room was changed around with new pictures hung, and our kitchen was cleaned. Boy does it feel nice to actually be living in a place that you're proud of now. It really does look good. The only thing we have left to do is the garage and I want to get that finished.

We took a break today from all the cleaning and took Jude to the park with his friend Tayla. He had such a good time. We went to Lake Idamere Park which is a beautiful place. Jude played on everything, but was more entertained by the "doggie" park than by the playground equipment. There weren't even any "doggies" there, but the pictures were enough to get him going. After the park, David took us to some fine dining at Dairy Queen. Overall, it was a great day.

Thanks for reading... :) I hope you come back next week!
