wow! is it really already july? we have been SO busy with different things and it's crazy to me that this year is half over. it is really, really hot here in grants pass. like in the 100's hot ... it's really disappointing to me how little rain we get during the summer - but i suppose that the "winter" here is perfect (just rain, not a lot of snow) so that makes up for the heat ...
it has been a big couple of months for us. we both had birthdays, we went on a fantastic trip to visit nate's parents in seattle, we drove up the coast, we moved to a new house, we started foster care certification classes (more than that in another post).
life has just been happening. it has been busy, but it has also been really great. i don't mind so much that it seems to be going fast - it means that we are doing things that are worthwhile (although today, i'm being totally lazy - my first lazy day in WEEKS - and it feels great). i've got so many blog posts to catch up - more for record keeping than anything, although if there is anyone out there who still looks at our blog, that's cool.
i kind of think that blogs are out now that facebook is in, but i don't really care! blogging, for me, is SO much easier than scrapbooking! some of you may remember my scrapbooking days - hours and hours and dollars and dollars spent on making the perfect page ... now those books sit at the top of my closet only to be looked at once a year - if even that. it's weird to make a scrapbook, or a blog, or keep a journal when you don't have kids ... i remember once wondering what would happen to all of our 'memorabilia' when we move on from this life and i don't really have an answer to that. maybe one of our nephews or nieces will be interested in it, maybe we'll adopt a child or two through the foster care system and they'll want it, maybe it will sit at the top of someone else's closet until generations have passed and no one really knew who they belonged to ...
anyway - that's not meant to be a morbid or disturbing or a sad thought process ... just something that comes to my mind every once in a while when i am working on preserving our memories ...
we are really excited for the next couple of weeks - our foster care certification classes have been amazing and we are SO excited for a visit from our favorite wilkie family at the end of the month ... hopefully by their visit i'll have our blog updated ... maybe that will be my goal.
anyway - that's it! i'll post about all of our awesome stuff as i get caught up, but just know that we are doing great and we have a lot to look forward to.
