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.

    1. That'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?

  3. Figures the thing that would stand out the most for me from this is "crepes and waffles". :o)

    But 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?

  6. It 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 :)

  7. Great 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!

    Congratulations on going back to school...what an amazing decision. I think you are going to love it.

    I would be happy never to return to SF or LA either.
