And so it goes....

Well.....I guess the time has come for me to accept that Sarah is spreading her wings....
She got her learner's permit on Tuesday. The whole family piled into the car yesterday as she went on her first excursion. The good news is that we took out no mailboxes or any other object around us. She actually did quite well, but you can tell she is nervous. I just don't think I am gonna do as well with her when she drives away without me or Todd in the car.
We have spent the first week of summer being complete lazy bums......sleeping in and just doing basically nothing during the day. I really have to kick myself to get moving. I know we should be enjoying it, but my to do list is too long to be doing this. I did finally decide what color I am going to paint my cupboards in my kitchen....I will post pictures when it is done. I will leave it a surprise until then. Hopefully this week, I will get more done. I will need to start thinking about packing for our trip to my dad's starting late next week. The key is trying to get my two girls to understand they can't bring everything they own. The airlines are charging per bag now, so we are going to have to really limit it. I am excited about this trip because like our trip we took with Todd's family last summer, we are going to have our whole family together next weekend. Both my sisters will be there so we will all get to be together which NEVER happens. I can't wait to see them! Hopefully Todd will get to fish some too....something he hasn't done since last summer as well.
Well, pray for us as Sarah embarks on this new journey......
Have a great week.
