Summer, el fin!!!

Where did the summer go? I always thought that once I was out of school, I wouldn't get that sick in my stomach night before the first day of school feeling. This isn't true... I got a break for a few years, but now that Kevin is in school, I have that feeling again. He on the other hand is very excited to go to school. Summer has been wonderful, but way too short. It seems just like last week that we were planning everything we were going to do. Now it has come and gone. Summer began with Christin Taylor coming to visit. How fun!!!! Memorial day started time at the lake, jumping on the trampoline, skiing, attempting to wakeboard, watching Kevin and Darren successfully wakeboard, jet skiing, and just sitting soaking in the sun. I do not know why God planted me in the middle of Indiana. I am for sure a warm climate person! June was the Tree of Life annual Lake Day. It was the coldest day of the summer, but still tons of fun. June flew by with the setting up of a new store at Cornerstone University and then 4th of July had already arrived. Fireworks on the lake is always a huge highlight of the summer! The stomach flu visited our family for 3 weeks, which was not very cool. On a much better note, Sam & Rosie & Eisley and Todd came to visit!!! It was so great to be together again. For sure a highlight. There was a family trip to Chicago and several trips to Grand Rapids. Kevin's 8th birthday arrived and we spent the day together in Indianapolis and of course visited Chucky Cheese (oh, my!) Darren's family came last week and just left yesterday. For sure another highlight! Why does time go faster and faster the older we get? The ultimate invention would be to have a time rewinder and just revisit the hightlights. Well, summer vacation is over, but I guess offically, summer is still here a few more weeks. If Kevin is happy to go back, then I should be as well. I still have that night before school sick feeling, though.

I still get that feeling whenever I see the back to school gear at target. I nearly always buuy a pack of pencils or something just to participate. So unnerving and exciting at the same time - my life sometimes gives me that sick in the stomach feeling.
