I LOVE Summer

I am LOVING my summer! It has been full and very busy, yet at the same time very relaxing.
I LOVE spending time with Archie and the kids. I LOVE sleeping in and the fact that my kids let me sleep in! I LOVE that I have not worn my watch . . . at all . . . since the week school was out. I LOVE the fact that many days we wake up and just decide on that morning what we are going to do that day. I LOVE that I had a garage sale, made some extra cash, AND cleaned out all the closets and rooms. I LOVE that Madison and I are doing devotions together and that I see her wanting to learn more about God. I LOVE that Back Yard Bible Club was a success . . . and that it is over now. I LOVE that I am ALMOST caught up on all my "People" magazines since I was months behind and I hope to start the 4th book in the Twilight series. I LOVE that I have been able to see/talk to some dear friends this summer and hang out with girlfriends. I LOVE my Growth Group from church. I LOVE that my family is so loving and willing to help with anything when asked . . . or not asked; I LOVE my Mom and sisters. I LOVE that I have been able to spend some time with my adorable new nephew, Aiden, this summer. I LOVE our firepit and 'smores. I LOVE having the extra time to watch my kids grow and learn . . . and to just BE with them. I LOVE that God answers prayer. I LOVE the feeling that I know that I am blessed and that God is truly good. I LOVE that I didn't teach summer school this year. I LOVE summer!
