It’s A Wonderful Life

Well, I’d say it’s been quite a while since I’ve written anything here! Really, it’s been a while since I’ve spent any notable time on my computer. Spending 40 hours a week in front of a computer plus having so many other things I need and want to do makes getting on a computer outside of work not so pleasant or urgent. So, what have I been doing all this time? Lots!

Right now, I’m enjoying this 4th of July relaxing. I’m watching people knee board, boat, etc out on the Portage. It’s a beautiful day. I might take a nap. I watched the Dollar Bay parade and had lunch with a bunch of friends from church and then sat around. Very tiring.

I’ve started running again, with much encouragement from Becky. I really almost look forward to running now and the only thing holding me back from doing it more often is having things as priority over running and taking showers. Taking showers is just too much work. I’d rather not. HAHA

I’ve been flying through my small library of books. I’m loving it. I forgot how much I love to read. I’ll sit on my front porch in the evenings and read my books as the sun sets on the Portage. It’s fantastic.

I’ve “landscaped” the back yard and cleaned the back and side areas. I’ve pretty much been a woman on a mission on the weekends and evenings. I’m just constantly on the move. And I love it. I’m still not done painting though. Although watching HGTV encourages me to get up and paint while I watch…plus I figured if I’m going to go do work at the campus house, I should probably do work at mine as well…so that’s keeping things moving.

I’m totally excited about the campus house, PS. I’ve been trying to get the yard cleaned up since that is what I’m good at. Plus, I don’t really know if I’d be of much assistance inside right now. It is going to be totally awesome. Also, there’s this sweet bike that was in the garage. I’m going to fix it up. It will be sweet.

Next weekend a bunch of His Housers are going camping near Pictured Rocks and it is going to be a crazy fun adventure. I’m looking forward to it. The weekend after that is the Canal Run I think and then that week is VBS. Then after that is the STP Backpacking trip around the tip of the Keweenaw. I’m so glad I’ve been running so that I’m in some sort of shape to go hiking for 4 days while attempting to keep the girls motivated and encouraged. Then after that is camping in St. Ignace for the weekend with my best friend, her boyfriend, and his buddy who is a Tech graduate too.

Fun stuff. Totally busy. What’s new. I’m loving it and am reminded of how blessed I am every day.
