no, i haven't been living in a box, i just let time and the summer run past me. we were actually pretty crazy busy throughout august. i am sad that it went by so quickly. is it just me or does it feel like summer is much shorter than when we were kids? part of it might be that we didn't really have much of a summer this year. yeah we got some great hot summery days, but it sure seemed like there was a lot of cold along with the hot.
we had almost every day planned with something in august. here's a list of the big things.
8/2 ceb came home from a week away at efy...she had so much fun.
8/2 i spent the day with my good friend ally & her bridal party getting ready and then attending her fabulous wedding. (my family met me there) it was such a great day for me. i loved being an insider at the event.
8/5-8/9 the girls spent 5 days at girls camp. kial brought her friend ella. all the girls had a blast.
8/6 i spent 5 hours in the er with my poor dad who fell and broke his patella while helping a friend.
8/9 we had a super fun birthday bowling bash for jas to celebrate his 41st birthday. his "fun" work friends all came and we shut down spin alley.
8/10 we celebrated jason AGAIN. this time we had a little family party at his mothers house with trophy cupcakes!!
8/13 jas and the girls took off at 5:41am to drive to halfmoon bay, california to go to his cousins wedding. it only took them about 13 hours to get there.
8/15 i flew down to california for the wedding (lucky me!)
8/16 india and jud's wedding. it was absolutely perfect and 100% them. i truly enjoyed every minute of it.
8/23 ceb took AND passed her knowledge (written) test for driving. it was close, she missed 4 of the 5 you can miss and still pass, but she still passed and we were able to get her scheduled for her driving test on 9/30. it's a lot further out than she was hoping, but i am happy to put off handing over the keys to her.
8/23 scrapping with mary ann, jen, carlanna, kathy, sherry and patti. we celebrated carlanna birthday belatedly with yummy ice cream pie! of course we actually did way more talking than scrapping but it was still really fun.
8/25-8/28 camping in leavenworth with the minugh's and hohenstein's. our annual trip was a little different this year with some unhappy moments but we managed to pull out a good amount of fun as well.
8/26 cebastian turned 16. i still don't want to believe that i could have a daughter that is 16, but it's true. cebastian is truly one of the best kids in the whole world. i am so glad to know her.
i actually love the fall and am looking forward to all the things we have planned in the coming months, but i wish i had gotten to sleep-in a few more times during the summer!<

I agree - Summer does seem to go a lot faster! What happened to those 40 hour days laying on a wool blanket playing barbies in the shade?!? I think being the "responsible" one has tweaked time.
Anyway...I am glad to see you had a fun August. Where did Ceb go for EFY?
ceb went to EFY in tacoma. she went ALL BY HERSELF not knowing anyone before she got there. and she said it was wonderful. she loved her roommate, her counselors and all the kids in her group.
it amazes me that she has such self confindence, i could never have done that at almost 16, let alone now.
you have to schedule your driving test that far out? that's crazy!
ceb is such an incredible girl.
she gets her self confidence from her amazing parents!
Sounds like an outstanding August. You have been missed my friend, glad to see you are back in writing action. :)
