Well, we’re back. The summer WHIPPED by and now all of the sudden, it’s August 20th, and I’m wondering how the heck I’m supposed to get three months worth of work to prepare for the fall done in three weeks.
We have had a fantastic summer, albeit, busy. I do actually intend on writing about each part of our trips – but I also kind of felt like I should maybe just put something up here on this space, before I lose all of you. I mean, I realize that it will take my mom a long time before she bails on reading this blog…but even she has her limits.
So, as a quick re-cap – here’s been the last three months for us:
End of June (June 25-28) - Trip to Pittsburgh to celebrate three whole years together.
Two weeks later (July 11-25) - Left for Big Trout Lake where I spent two weeks up at a native reserve with a team from our church. (that one was just me…Ben was left to fend for himself for two weeks. He did pretty well and was only found wandering the streets aimlessly with one sock on once)
6 days after that (July 31-Aug 10) - Left for Nova Scotia. We left Friday after work and drove through the night, getting us to Ben’s parents in record time. (Although I don’t know how – I could have sworn that during my driving shifts I always went the speed limit…especially at 3 am when the roads were wide open…) We spent 9 days there – having SUCH a great time with Ben’s family and my birth family. We crammed in a lot!
2 days later (August 12-15) – Canoe trip with a family from our church. We spent four days up in Algonquin in the most perfect weather surrounding by what, in my opinion, was a most perfect creation.
And so now, here we are, with two weeks left in August. If you need to find me, I’ll be holed up in my apartment, frantically trying to plan an entire semester’s worth of events and teaching topics. See you soon!
