This one's for you, Mom!

Well, I was chatting with my mommy, and she was so kind complimentary about my blog and basically inspired me to attempt to post more often because she like it. :) I just feel like I don't have anything interesting or clever to say... but these things are important to me so... here you go.

First, Parker is driving as we speak, okay, as I type, on his way back HOME!!! It's been a long summer, and a short summer too. Long in that I feel like it's been a very very long time since we just had day to day life together, and short in that I've felt like my real life's just been on pause while Parker is gone, so it's like I skipped all of summer and we're going from spring straight to fall. I don't know if that makes any sense at all. It does in my head. Anyways, I'm super excited for him to be back. We're going to LAKE POWELL for a few days, then we'll be back home and start a new semester of school... speaking of school, Parker got accepted to his program!!! We're one big step closer to graduation!! I'm so proud... and excited... for graduation... someday. :)

Second, my Grandpa has been sick. The doctor's don't know exactly what's wrong yet, but they're in the middle of tests, and at this point they're treating him for Lyme disease and waiting for test results. It's been interesting to reflect on how important my Grandpa is to me. I feel like I can better empathize with others who have sick family members. It's scary, and I'm glad I'll be able to go visit in a couple weeks.

So there you have it. A few things I think about a lot... Parker, School and Grandpa.

And now I'm getting frustrated because I can't find my favorite picture of Grandpa (and I know I must have it somewhere because it's been on my fridge for months...) so we'll go with the second fav... still a cute one.
