How did the entire summer get away from me in the blogging department?
Here's a quick run-down catch-up before I get back to my more typical (as in never predictable) blogging schedule. What we've been up to:
- I painted just about everything in sight: walls, furniture, canvases. Turns out I really love painting, so soothing!
- We had an amazing week in Maui, a trip my hard-working husband earned through work. Did I mention amazing? The resort was out of control!
- Mady turned 16. Wow. We're entering the stages of full time junior college, driving, and "friends that are guys". Just friends. :)
- There's been a steady stream of friends and kids in and out. Love that, my kids have some awesome friends!
- A certain girl got her braces off, after 7 years of having them on!
- A flurry of horse camps, racquetball camp, a trip to Texas for me, cousin and Auntie visiting, VBS, etc.!
- I fell in love with a company called Advocare and started a business!
- I am working my way through a "24 Day Challenge" - designed to increase energy (yes please!) and lose weight and/or gain muscle. I am really impressed so far, and am happy to be doing the challenge alongside so many dear friends! (Another challenge is starting up soon if you are interested!)
- I'm busily gathering up my supplies and plans for the new homeschool year. I love homeschooling and the fact our state is still homeschool-friendly, despite changes and cutbacks.
What have you all been doing?! I've missed the little blogging world!
Glad you are back! I always enjoy reading your blog.

That someone's teeth must look really beautiful now, after having braces on for as long as seven years. Were there any memorable experiences during the time she still had her braces on?
