Independence Day Weekend...

The first month of summer is almost over.
I am not sure if that should make me feel super anxious or excited.
But, I do feel both- strongly, at the same time.

I am back in the land of 10,000 lakes for a short few weeks.
It will fly on by- trying to be realistic.

I sure do love it here this time of year.
This coming weekend is one of my favorites.
I am sure I will have to work some, but will still be able to go out
and enjoy the pleasure of being well over 21.

The added excitement is, of course, that another sister will be in town for the weekend.
We travel in packs.
I really like Cat's friends.
Its fun to go out with them.
Its difficult to believe that almost a decade separates us.
I am so mature for my age (cough cough)...
Perhaps an old soul, but there is a reason I enjoy teaching 7-9th graders.

The actual 4th of July is a week away and my tiny little town is picking up momentum with full force. Which, honestly, is most of the fun. Who wants to see a bunch of people they already know?
Okay- so that is fun too.
Overall, summer is good... I am trying very hard to just enjoy every moment.

I wish I could think of the motivational lines Cat would whip out right now... Shoot, where's a sister when you need one?
