Summer, is definitely in full swing at our house and though we were thrown a curve ball, we're still enjoying it! We had a fun vacation, a couple weddings, our driveway done and in the mist of all that survived one hell of a storm that left us with damage that we're still working on piecing everything back together! Thank goodness for insurance! That necessary evil sure did calm us when we started to see our stuff being thrown all over the place. That storm was scary! Brenton and I have been in a couple tornadoes, but this was different! This one was eerie and I was pretty scared, but we made it through! It was quite the week, but thank goodness for the generator. That thing was a blessing! It helped keep our lives somewhat normal for the 4 days we were w/o electric! And, when you have a special needs child, normalcy is important.....at all costs! LOL!
Vacation was so fun this year! We did our normal, the beach and the mountains, but changing it up helped us get the most out of our time so we could enjoy every moment! We had family with us and that was fun, too! I think it has maybe turned into an annual event and I'm all about it! It really was a great time! We did have the mountains that was just us and that was fun, too. I finally saw a bear! I mean literally right in front of me was this bear, so that was pretty cool! We made memories that will last a lifetime and for that I'm grateful! I love to get away, but man home is definitely where I love to be most! After 2 weeks, we were ready to get back to the homebase and enjoy the remaining dog days of summer. We thought it was going to be easy, breezy, but Mother Nature wanted to make herself known and so we have a mess! It just takes time, so we're slowly getting things back to normal. Once I get my fence back up, around the pool, I'll be good! It's stuff like this that you take a good hard look and realize just how blessed you truly are! Our damage is minimal, compared to others in town, our home is still standing and all the "stuff" can be replaced in a matter of a few weeks, but it still stings a bit! The positive, we now get the opportunity to makes things better and that's a good feeling!
We still have time left, but once we get to July, it feels like summer is coming to a close pretty rapidly! So, I'm trying my hardest to enjoy every moment w/ my boys and so far, it's been good! Life is good! My boys are good! The world is crazy, but we're surviving it and embracing our little place in it! 💚
