Four months - four long months have gone by since I last had anything to say on the blog. In that time we've finished one school year that included a high school and a middle school graduation. We've enjoyed a fun and sometimes trying summer (including a great trip home for my folks' wedding anniversary) and the departure of our oldest son for Marine Basic Training. That was a week ago. I can't even talk about it without crying. I'm so proud of him, but I miss him more than I ever imagined. I think we all do. We're looking forward to his graduation and being able to say he is a Marine in mid-November. Parris Island, SC should be lovely that time of year so I am sure that it will be an extremely joyful occassion.
Summer and crafty projects just seem to work together for me. A slightly slower pace, not having to worry about homework and other commitments, leaves time to let my mind wander a bit and dream up ideas. I'll post some pictures of things I've been working on shortly. I've been sewing a little (anyone else really intrigued by smocking?), scrapping a little, and during the week of VBS I made all kinds of decorations to create a Bayou in our worship center. It's been fun and gratifying. But everyone goes back to school on Monday so this is my last weekend to let my mind wander. I think I'll play along with Lauren's MTTC Template Challenge. See you soon.
