July flew by again

As in just about every year except last year, July has absolutely flown by.  I really can't believe how quickly the month passed.  We had our wonderful vacation at the beginning, and then band began while swim was still finishing.  I was able to have a great deal of time off, but that is pretty much done for a while.  I'm looking forward to seeing what a normal school year means for my job.  At the same time, I truly miss subbing and being at the high school.  Although I will have significant flexibility, I hate that I can't be at the high school and see Andrew and Thomas each day.  Regardless, this month really stormed by.

Today Andrew and I spent the day together driving around looking at antique shops.  Thomas has gone to a nearby county fair with his girlfriend and her family.  Catherine has a nine hour shift at work.  We enjoyed the day together, and I'm so grateful that still have such a solid marriage.  After all, this time next year we could be facing empty nesting on a fairly consistent basis.  That just seems so hard to believe, but I also know that is reality.

Tomorrow August begins, and I suspect it's going to be crazy and and fly by as well!  Not wishing away anything right now...just enjoying life's blessings!
