These days...

...it seems as if I like changing my blog design rather than blogging.

Things have been busy. I got home from a conference on Ethical Literacy for school that was in Omaha, NE. Yep...NEBRASKA. Never been there in my life. It was a neat little town. Some things were a little weird. For example, the sun did not completely set until 10:00pm. The sun also rose again sometime around 5:00am. Weird right?

It was a good conference, with lots to learn. Just tiring. A girl from work and myself drove to Little Rock on Tuesday, June 21st in the afternoon. We stayed their for the night, ate at pizza place downtown, and then went to bed to get ready for our flight out of Little Rock airport at 6:25am the next morning. We flew out of Little Rock because it was much cheaper. The drive to Little Rock really was not bad at all, and in considering flights in the future, if it makes it cheaper, I'll definitely take advantage. Anyway...after flying all day connecting through Dallas and then off to Omaha, it was such a long day. Especially when the sun doesn't set until 10! We landed, got to our lodging, and then grabbed a quick bite to eat and headed straight into meetings. These meetings took up most of our time for the next three days. I was able to get in a couple of runs while I was there. The weather was nice. 65-75 degrees. I hadn't run outside since Memorial Day in Memphis. I will say this though, it is hard to run in a city! Stopping at every crosswalk definitely affects your momentum. The college world series was also going on in Omaha while I was there. I ran down by the stadium to check out the hustle and bustle. There were a lot of people in town to attend those games. We left Friday afternoon. Same route, connecting through Dallas to Little Rock. We got in about 10pm. Yikes! We drove straight on through. After dropping off my travel partner, I got home right at 1:00am. Oh was I so glad to be home!

So now that I'm home, June is coming quickly to a close. July is right upon us. There are so many things to look forward to in July!

1. Wedding video watch party with Chris' family (July 2)
2. Painting party with friends! (July 5th)
3. Katie Grisham's Birthday (July 9th)
4. BEACH TRIP! (July 16 - 23)
5. Chris' birthday (July 18th)

You read that correctly, yes we are going to the BEACH. I am so excited that I came across this deal for a condo in the Phoenix East condo complex. We are so excited, and I am glad we will be out of town to celebrate Chris' birthday. He wants to go to a water park, and I'm happy to do that! It sounds like fun!

We are leaving little Bella with her GiGi (aka my mom) for the week. Please pray she can handle a dog and her own 2 cats for a week!

So as we approach July, I have to remember to relish my vacation time from work. The new school year will be starting before we know it! :)

Happy Summer Y'all!
