End of school hit, and I disappeared from these parts. It's happened before, and it'll probably happen again. The good news is everything I needed to do to wrap up the year is done, and summer has begun. I do love my summers. I think everyone should get them off. We'd all be happier. But here is some randomness I've had during my absence:
C. I think there's an evolution happening in the Mormon church and society in general. I'm not sure what the end result will be, but I seem to be finding a widening dialogue going on about gay members and how they should really be treated. I'm still sorting out my feelings about it, but it makes me excited. I've been pondering it for a long time, and I'm grateful things are changing at a grass roots level.
D. We get the girls every other week this summer, which means that while the mister is at work, it will just be me. I'm gearing up for it. I think it will be an adventure that will be sure to wear me out. :) I've made a list of things to do around my area both free and not. My plan is to let each of them choose what we do from that list. It'll be great.
E. I have a Ragnar race this weekend. I haven't been training all that carefully, but it has helped me get out the door more than I would have without it. I really want to keep moving as I get older. Anyway, here's to hoping for another finish line.
F. I really do love my husband. We have been sorting through some of what are sure to be some of our lifelong issues, but I couldn't ask for a better man to do that with.
A. I'm increasingly grateful for family. We have been trying to figure out how we are going to keep 3 girls here in this tiny condo this summer. I was brainstorming how I could shift around my storage room in order to get some stuff out of the way. All I had to do was call my brother and ask him if I could stash some boxes in his house. He nonchalantly said I could. I know it's a small thing, but it made a world of difference to me. And all of those little favors that both of our families have done for us in the last year as we figure out how to do this have been invaluable. I used to think I was alone. I'm grateful I was wrong.
B. The puppy graduated from puppy school. She can sit, lay down, shake, roll over, wait, come, and leave it (as long as she's not super distracted and there are treats involved). She's not perfect, but she's pretty cute. I like how dogs remind you what life should be about (relax and have more fun) and how love should be (without condition). There were times I really wasn't sure I was cut out to be a dog owner. I'm happy being wrong (again).
