As I sit here on my front porch, my new favorite place to relax, in 85 degree weather with just enough of a breeze to make it perfect, I can't help but wonder how much hotter it may get this summer since it is only May. Usually in the good old mountains of NC it doesn't get much higher than 90 on any given day of the summer. I have also managed to keep from turning on the AC so far, despite the rantings of my husband whose theory is that "we have air for a reason." We really do have great air circulation in our new place, and I hate to pay for cool air when it can come in my windows for free...makes sense to me. We've been here for about a year, but this is the first Spring we have had here. I like it. I'm thankful for the great location and nice neighbors that God has given us.
I was considering sitting here and taking a quick nap in my new half-reclining porch chair, but decided to write instead. It's been forever since I've blogged. Don't worry, I'm not going to try to makeup all of that ground at one time. We've had an enjoyable weekend as a family. Jon and I both had 3-day weekends, so we decided to make the best of it. We took the kids to Dairy Queen for dinner and ice cream Friday night, then we did a little shopping together yesterday. I wouldn't exactly call shopping with three small kids the highlight of the weekend, but we accomplished what needed to be done and managed to do it as a family to avoid breaking up our "family weekend." We went to IHOP last night, where kids eat free from 4pm to 10pm (hard to pass that up), and we topped it off with a movie night at home. All in all it was a great weekend together with beautiful weather to compliment it.
Tomorrow starts another week full of responsibilities, and as I sit here now I find my thoughts wandering to all of the tasks ahead needing to be addressed. I have spent the entire weekend playing around and now looking at my house I am wondering what in the world I was thinking! Well, I still have tonight to do that right?
