I
I took this picture in L.A. I feel it gives me the street cred I've lost since living in Utopia.
I didn't blog once this summer. I didn't want to. I didn't miss it.
I applied sunblock to kids like it was my job. My job location being the beach.
I saw all of my brothers, sisters & tons of family and friends who are close to my heart.
I visited L.A. and S.F. and would be happy to never return to either.
I didn't get enough sleep.
I watched my kids ride horses, go on roller coasters, surf, explore, laugh and exhaust themselves daily.
I drove to Utah for my cousins wedding and danced all night.
I made tons of crepes & waffles.
I hardly saw Glenn.
I found our swing set covered with graffiti. My kids did it. They're looking for their own street cred.
I went weeks without exercising.
I watched my kids fall more in love with their cousins.
I fell more in love with family. The word, the people, everything it means and everything I feel.
I loved & felt loved.

"I loved & felt loved." BEST SUMMER EVER! Love it Marie - you and your kids had a great summer, even if you didn't get to see much of your hubs! :(
ReplyDeleteThe perfect way to spend summer! I wished we had spent more time at the beach! Check you out all glam with straight hair! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThat's the hair I wake up with, naturally straight, no brush needed. Of course my dream hair is curly hair, why would I be happy with what everyone deems is perfect hair? :) The grass is always greener on the other side right?
DeleteFigures the thing that would stand out the most for me from this is "crepes and waffles". :o)
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, I'm glad you got so much family time in, even if Glenn couldn't be around that much. He's getting used to the new-ish job, I guess?
Good for you for taking a break from the computer and indulging in real life. Your kids are so blessed to have such a present momma! I'm a little jealous of your beach time this summer! :)
ReplyDeletewow, that's a great pic of you! Glad to hear you enjoyed the summer, it sounds like you made the most of every moment. :-) welcome back..I was wondering where you got too
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a fantastic summer! I have taken 9 months or so off from blogging so I understand needing a break from it! I look forward to reading more of your posts now that I am back to blogging :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, Marie! I took a 2 week break and went to Maine. I didn't think so originally, but I enjoy blog breaks. I think we're more interesting when we come back. Have a great day and a great rest of the Summer!
