H-E-L-L-O!!!! Remember me?????
Phew! I just read back about 20 pages! So much to say and so little time. Izzie, I am sad that it didn't work out for me to come to Chicago. I believe I was in CA at that time. Or Baton Rouge. I don't remember. I do know that was a hectic time frame for me. Bouncing around like crazy! This has been one work-filled summer with very little "me" time. Of course I shouldn't complain. I do get to have fun on business trips, but there's no place like home. Can't wait for one career to end and the next one to begin. School begins on the 23rd of this month. Can't wait! I am so ready to go back.
Everyone ..... I have missed you all! I hope life is great. That each day begins and ends with a smile. And that good things are bountiful!
Daddy is doing well, really. Was back in the hospital for a lil while, but they got him fixed back up and shipped out! One day at a time ..... and lots of prayers!
My summer has flew by! But there are a few things that I have learned along the way:
1. There is more than 1 meaning to an “8 second ride.” And I’m not fond of any of them.
2. That California isn’t such a bad place after all, but I’m much better on a pair of skis then I am on a surfboard. Though I do have a new appreciation for the Beach Boys song called “Surf City.” Huntington Beach rocks!
3. That if I ever go back to NYC, I will think twice about getting a hotel smack dab in the middle of Times Square. Unless of course I don’t wish to sleep at all! Ummm not to mention there are some scary dudes running around everywhere you go!
4. That sometimes, points of contention are buried deep within us. They hide in there like a thief in the night. But everyone is strong enough to conquer.
5. And I have learned that babies will make you smile, no matter what. That I will likely always be Daddy’s little girl. And that spending 3 days with parents and siblings at the cabin can make you appreciate those that you love, and at times take for granted.
6. That if you are sunbathing on a beach that isn’t topless, and on your tummy …. don’t forget to place top back on before you roll over! (shudders!)
7. That old friends never die. Especially those that have been a part of your life during the darkest hours.
And last but not least ......... DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!!!
8. I have learned that Try snores so loud when he sleeps, you can almost see the raising and lowering of the roof above you as he breathes in and breathes out! Oh, and that his elephant trunk really IS as big as he wants you to think it is.
Have a happy ~ happy ~ happy day!!!!!!!!!
PS - Hope you are feeling better now, Izz!
