First Day of Summer

Today was the first day of summer. I has just reach a (rather warm for here) 94 degrees.

That's the hottest it's been all year so far. We had some wonderful rain here for a couple of days in row that cooled things off considerably, but the rain has stopped and there is not even a single wispy cloud in the bright blue sky.

My brothers left on Sunday to go work at a camp own in Georgia for a week. Yesterday, Liam texted mom to let her know that he thought he'd broken his foot and wanted to know how he could tell if it was indeed broken or just really badly sprained. Dad called down and was able to tell, from what Liam told him of the incident and about what his foot was looking like at the moment, that it was just a bad sprain. When we heard last, he was hopping around camp on crutches. If y'all could be praying that it would heal quickly and wouldn't impede him too much for too long.

Both of my brothers will be back before the week's out, and Flynn will head back down next Sunday or Monday, but Liam will be staying. At least we'll have one brother back! :)

18 days till I leave for WVA!!!!!!!!

So excited about it!!!!!!! Worked all winter and spring to raise the money and a few weeks ago paid in full with the satisfaction of knowing that every sent of the tuition was my own money. It so interesting how that simple knowledge can be so satisfying, isn't it?

Have a great first day of summer!

Terribly sorry to all of you who read my blog.... I lapsed into a period of silence, from whence it was agony to drag myself. Not really, agony... but hard. You know what I mean.

I had made a promise to myself that when I post, I wouldn't post random ramblings. It's not helpful for me, since it doesn't force me to organize my thoughts into an intelligible format and neither does it help you, in any way shape or form, to listen to the mad ravings of one such as I :)

So, henceforth, I solemnly promise that my blog posts will be, if not always of serious and weighty purport, dedicated to a purpose (example; catching y'all up on my life, talking about a recent project, etc.).

Since my brain is currently taking a (hopefully abridged) holiday, I'll not be posting a lengthy post today, as I doubt I could assemble my thoughts into a worth while message. But you will most likely be hearing from me soon.

Have a wonderful day and I sincerely hope you are enjoying your summer!

p.s.

The formal celi was last Friday and went very well. The butterfly wonderland dress, plus the beading that we added last minute, did very well, and my fabulously talented sister got lots of compliments on it. I'll probably post pictures of it at a later date!
