Wow, so all I can say is I thought I was on vacation?!?!?! My life is busier now then when I am in school. :)
But it is great being busy-and most of all it is great hanging out with my girls, family and friends. Here we are already at the beginning of July and I have already done so much this summer, and I still have about a month and a half left. My daughters and I have traveled to North Carolina, Tennessee, and Connecticut. I was able to see NKOTB, Boys II Men, and 98* in concert. (Floor seats might I add) But I am getting very excited about my travels coming up in the next few weeks. I will be attending a Holocaust Seminar sponsored by Columbia College next week and then I will be traveling to Berlin for 12 days at the end of July. (Don't worry- I will blog everyday I am there about my experiences).
My husband and I just celebrated our 2 year anniversary and I struggled to find something that would fit into the "cotton" gift category. So here is what I went with. I bought him an overnight bag filled with sunscreen, 2 pair of shorts, and new swimming shorts, as well as tickets for he and I to go kayaking one weekend this summer. This was my thought: the overnight bag, and shorts would be the cotton and everything is just a bonus ;) Leave it to my husband (the organic chemist) however to inform me that the bag was not made out of cotton. "Kelli-nobody makes bags out of cotton-they wouldn't last 2 seconds" But hey it is the thought that counts. Warren on the other hand made the best gift-he got a t-shirt (made of 100% cotton) and wrote on it personally "Love my wife" and he had intended on wearing it out everywhere we went on our anniversary (this past Tuesday), but I told him that I would not put him through the embarrassment. Again-hey it is the thought that counts right :) That was a great day!!!
Well-You will be hearing from me more now (hopefully) filled with wild stories of my busy life-
“Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you've never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground.”-Judith Thurman
until next time,

Kelli, you have a beautiful family! I like the idea of sharing things going on in your life. It's kind of like a diary. That is so awesome that you are going to Berlin! I seen that you visited North Carolina. I live in South Carolina so we were not too far apart. I have not been able to travel at all this summer. We are going to the beach, but of course in South Carolina. I have a 15 week old so we have been getting to know each other all summer!
ReplyDeleteI love the t-shirt story about your anniversary! And you went to The Package tour. So jealous. Those groups were my childhood favorites.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear about Berlin!! So exciting! I can't wait to read all about it!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to store your memories! Your children will love it when they are older!
