I May

May 1, 2012

I can't believe it's May already!

I May be counting down the days 'til the end of the school year.
I May be pretty excited by the fact that Bree will be home from college in two weeks.
I May be loving the beautiful weather we're enjoying this week.
I May be having a great time watching our new garden grow.
I May be shopping for my sister's birthday present already.
I May be a little jealous that Doug's got the week off, but...
I May be happy for him anyway.
I May be focusing on some really cool plans I have for vacations this summer with the kids.
I May be hoping that spending time at the gym is going to actually do something.
I May be looking forward to my annual prom speech for my seniors this week.
I May be feeling like I'm pretty blessed with a wonderful family and amazing friends.
And I May be thinking that even when little things get me down, I may be in a really good place in my life.

I love May!

Spring Break Road Trip

April 4, 2012

We were all still in school when Bree came home for Spring Break, so we didn't really get a chance to 'vacation' together. Many of her friends were out of school too, though, so a few of her best friends decided to do a quick overnight trip to the coast together. I told her I'd let her go on three conditions:

1) She had to text me as soon as she got there. (She did.)
2) She had to make Marlowe promise to drive safely. (Marlowe gave me her promise.)
and
3) She had to take pictures. (I love that my kid knows how important pictures are to me, and she was perfectly willing to humor me. Small price to pay to be able to get away for a quick mini-vacation.)


Oh, I just adore all of these kids--I love that it looks like they had so much fun together!
