Zoo time is the best time

It is definitely summertime in Indiana. Hot, muggy days, and warm nights are very abundant. So are the thunderstorms that pop up right at the most inconvenient moments. All of this to say that I am in love with AC. Never will I take it for granted it again.

The last few days at work have been rather interesting. Yesterday, i was able to ride the sky ride with some of co-workers, while we were still on the clock! Then we walked around Africa and checked out Bill the Lion! He didn't growl or even move, but I am sure he is impressive. Today, I rode the train ride with one of my co-workers, again on the clock. Who can say that they get to ride such things while working? Not many, that's for sure! So as much as I might complain about the heat, the cranky customers, and the malfunctioning ice-cream machines, I really do love my job.

Other than that, not much has been happening around here. Just putsing around until school starts. It's kind of nice, actually.

The happiest place on earth?

In a few short weeks, my family will embark on a journey to visit the "happiest place on Earth." Now, I love Disney World very much. I have been there several times and each time I come away loving something new. I am very excited about going this summer. I realized that this will probably the last time we will go as a family as we now know it. It kind of depresses me, but I know it will make me enjoy it even more. However, I can easily attest to the fact that it is not the happiest place on Earth. In fact, I am pretty sure that place doesn't exist.

Instead, I have been finding that the little things in life are truly the things that bring me the greatest joy. And what better time to realize this than the easy days of summer (or not so easy as the case may be). Some of my happiest moments this summer have been: watching my brother play flag football, working with my sister, eating cherry cone dip while hearing Africa adventures from Africa, eating dilly bars, swimming at the pool, and so many more!

Summertime!

Hello five people that read my blog!

I am alive and doing very well. I know that I haven't written in a long time, but it doesn't even feel like that much time has passed. I can't believe that I have been home for over a month now. Summer is going by so quickly, but since school just got out for my sibs it's like it has just begun! Kind of exciting for me too.

I wish that I could say that I have done something really exciting this summer like training for a bike marathon or something. Except, I really can't say that I am. I have been working a lot and trying to squeeze everything else in when I am not working. My biggest project right now is my garden and the dress patterns that I am going to be starting this week.

No deep profound insights to share. Mostly God is just working on me being a better reflection of Him with regards to actions and attitudes. No easy task, but I am working on it.
