excitement!

Today I saw a red leaf! I know, it's summer, and in our part of the country it will feel like summer for the next 3 months, but seeing that red leaf reminded me that fall will bless us with its presence some day! I told the kids I saw a red leaf and they said "yayy". Don't get me wrong, we love the lazy days of summer and swimming, but it is too h-o-t!!

Other exciting news, My sweet nephew is one today! I get to see him tomorrow when we go visit my pop and his soon to be misses. My bro and his family are in from Missouri and we are excited to see them.

I tried a new recipe last night, so papilla cheesecake! As Rachel Ray would say, it was "yum-o". I made a 13X9 pan of it and there were no left overs! I think we have a new family fave!

I found another book website, I can't for the life of me remember the name, but you can swap books for free, well minus the cost of shipping. I love my books and reread often, but there are some that I wouldn't mind swapping. In the meantime, I am still waiting for my first book from booksneeze.

Have a happy Friday Blogworld,

Long time no blog!!

Hello Blog world!
To say it's been a long time is a smidge of an understatement! I read my favorite blogs nearly everyday but now I am making the time to check back in here! I have now survived my first year of big college! Only one more to go! Double woo hoo!! It sounds much better when I say one semester and one more internship! I did my first internship at a nursing home and I am now working there part time. I was'nt too thrilled when i found out where I had been placed, but of cousre I have grown attached to the people there and will miss them when it is time to move on. Now that I have finished my summer classes I can concentrate on enjoying what is left of summer with my kiddos! Our favorite summer passtime is heading to the pool. We also like to consider ourselves creative and engoy getting in up to our elbows in crafts. Another of my favorite passtimes is snuggling up with a good book. I just discovered book sneeze and am looking foward to getting started on that! My first review shold be coming soon. Until then, I'm out!
