Neglected

Dear Blog,

I have neglected you.  For so very long.  But better things were happening.  Life was happening.  And your job is to keep memories... and I guess you could say that I was a little too busy for you because I was out there making them...  

Like saying goodbye to my second fourth grade class who I fell in love with.  I wish I could post pictures to give you an idea of how great this class was.  They will be missed...

Like driving up to Rexburg for a spur of the moment adventure date...
 Like celebrating my favorite American holiday with great people, BBQ, icecream, and a fire work show put on by a very patriotic dad...
Like spending a week in the magical land of Sun Valley, ID where family fun never ends...
Like running my very first race, a 10K, with my dad after sending texts of progress and encouragement back and forth all summer.  AND both of us reaching our time goals...
Like enjoying beaches, perfect weather, and whale watching in Long Beach, CA...
Like welcoming home a beautiful sister-in-law who spent the last year and a half serving the good people in Russia...
Like watching your dear friend since 9th grade marry the love of her life...
 And like reuniting with old roommates who helped make your college years some of the best years you'll ever have... 
So blog, please forgive me for forgetting about you.  But it sure was one heck of a summer and I am glad I didn't miss one second of it.

  1. I LOVE this post! So many fun things; good job living and making memories. I'm so far behind on mine that I almost just want to copy and paste your introductory paragraph before I try a new post. Love you!
