First, Traveling traveling. Did you know that traveling can make you more tired? Well I can attest to that..... Since May every weekend has been filled with a girls trip to MN for shopping, a set of mom and me birthdays, Iowa City, and the End of School (thank the lord I was about ready to jam a number 2 pencil in my pinkie)...
June- an interview for DSM Public- a Job- a contract- one week in Conn/ Mass, Fenway Park tour, Italian sausage (for those who detest hotdogs as much as I do- It was amazzzzing). seeing the east coast and meeting Matthew's brothers family (also a highlight of the summer- what wonderful people!!!!), A trip to MN valley fair (rainy cold sleepy) enough said, a Braves/ Twins game at Target Field (most fun ever), Braves winning, traveling all over creation with Matthew (wow what a learning experience in a wonderful way), Living in Rock Valley for almost 3 weeks- a test to my liking of Dutch people and their ways, and.....
As you see I have been jam packed. It was a wonderful time. I loved everything and the learning that has ensued. And it has only been 3 WEEKS! I have more summer.
Later- Madeline's wedding (good friend from HS), home with the rents, moving out of IC to DSM, Vaca with the rents at Okoboji, golfing, sun bathing, you know how that goes... So much to look forward to..
But for interesting things sake... All my goals have been focused on getting outside, running as much as possible, watching movies, and reading... Reading "Change of Heart" by Jodi Picoult. WOW- she is an intense writer who knows her stuff. Very graphic when need be but not too much. Makes you think "what would I do if i was in this situation?" This seems to be her forum a set of intense books that focuses on very very intense situations that have no one moral choice that you could choose so many different choices in most of her situations... Very judge and jury but I have grown to appreciate and get hooked on her books. As far as movies- Jackie and I watched My Sister's Keeper- Def liked the book better... though the movie def gave justice to the intensity of her book... Well young readers.. I suggest taking a chance.. opening your book and diving into what seems like an impossible task - relaxing.. I am trying it and beginning to enjoy it...
Remember You have one summer, one season for blueberries, and many chances to enjoy the Vikings.... use them wisely....
WEll you know who...
