Summer is my Favorite


During the Winter, I thought we'd spend Summer camping out and fixing up the house.  Of course the universe laughed at my plans.  It's ended up as a rough Spring time with some unhappy and hard changes, but ones that were ultimately the most healthy for these sweet kids and myself.  We've moved in with a dear friend and her teenage sons until we can find our own place.  I am so grateful for supportive friends in this time of transition.  And I'm so happy that Summer is back in action!  The sunshine and flowers are powerful medicine for the soul.


I've added an additional job to my schedule and started the Summer semester back at school.  So this summer isn't exactly going as I had planned with nights spent camping in the woods and lazy days in the garden.  However, we are squeezing in Summer fun when we can!
Our housemates and I discovered a new river spot at the place Clay works.  He works for a tube & boat rental business.  At the place they put tubers in the river, there is a fun spot with  bar, grills and games. 

We had it all to ourselves on a Monday night!
My list of jobs now consists of: cleaning vacation rentals a couple times a week, working in a church nursery, on a food truck at breweries on the weekends and most recently as a CNA at the rehab hospital during the week.  That plus two classes at the college makes me glad for any breaks and time spent with the kids!
Blossom was thrilled to get to the water.  She had some good mud therapy!  Hopefully we'll find much more time to get outside this Summer.  I promise I'll keep trying to find the time to update the blog.  Sending love out there and grateful for all the love we get back <3 br="">
