crickets

Well, it's pretty much been crickets over here for the past three months.  Wow!  It doesn't feel like it's been that long since I abandoned the little blog.  This spring flew by and was so busy.  Between finishing up my last two grad school classes and surviving the end of the school year, I did not have time to anything other than come home and take a nap each afternoon.  But!  That doesn't matter now because starting two weeks ago, I am officially on SUMMER VACATION!

It still doesn't really seem real that I won't go back to work until mid-August.  Holy. Cow!  I've spent the start of my time off:

a) being lazy, which is awesome.

b) hanging with the fam {we made a trip to my grandparents' farm last weekend, my sisters have come to stay for a couple nights, my mom came to stay for a couple nights so we could shop (yay) and we've been seeing Mark's parents a lot more lately, because they just moved from OK to a town only 30ish miles away}

c) at the pool. of course.  I got my first summer sunburn today, uh oh.

d) thinking about everything I SHOULD be doing this summer.  things that would be much more productive than all of the above.

But! I think I'm finally in the summer groove and I'm ready to spend these next 2 months making the most of this time off and relishing this time before the fall sneaks back up on us.  Bring it on, summer!
