SUMMER IS HERE.

In other words, life has been in busy, full, blossoming swing lately! And, as a direct result (despite having plenty to share!), my blogging has silently fallen away to the back-burner as my days have filled up with people and activities, and my attention to summery things has bloomed.

Most importantly, Ted is home for summer! And with that there’s an abundance of long and eagerly awaited drive-in movies and dinner dates with friends and baseball games and rounds of mini golf and theme park trips and bike rides and disc golf games in the park and beer and ice cream and board games and window shopping and afternoon jogs and Parenthood episode marathons and Saturday mornings at the market and a million other wonderful little things to enjoy. Not that there hasn’t been long (sometimes exhilarating and sometime gruesome) days at work directing our Shakespeare summer conservatory program or financial planning meetings or doctors appointments or puppet shipping logistics or theatre renovation woes (for both of us) or trip scheduling and budgeting sessions or silently sneaking glances at the wall calendar and dreading what I know is coming way too fast. Believe me, it’s all there. It’s all a blur, all tumbled up and mixed together; sometimes beautiful and sometimes overwhelming. And a lot to re-adjust to too. But mostly, it’s good. It’s summer. It’s here. He’s here.

I’ll share our summery adventures on here one of these days (if I’m being honest, I really mean in September, not one of these upcoming days), but for now we’re alive and hanging in there. For now we’re together and the summer I’ve been waiting impatiently for for the past nine months is passing too, too quickly. Like all summers do. For now, all is well in our little family. Hope it is for you too. Summer on, friends!
