Ready or not, here they come!

Yep, I know what you are thinking... Who is this person that finally updates her blog? I know it's a shock, but I finally have my camera charged, my pictures loaded, and I'm ready to give you the epic tale of my summer. It all started long ago in a far away land.... Haha! What can I say? I'm in a good mood today! Life has finally put me in a place where I look forward to each new day. More to come on that. For now, we will start with the beginning and see how far we can get.

So I spent my summer in Texas visiting my family and my friends. I saw my Grandmother and Grandpa Duncan (you never ever ever call her grandma because that sounds "old"), my Grandpa Stiles, along with some aunts and uncles and cousins. I spent many weekends camping out on Robin's couch when I just needed a friend (thank you so much). My sister moved home, and I think we are both grateful for that time we spent together (even though there were a few moments where neither of us would have said so). I got to spend time with my mom and Cody's parents, all of whom went above and beyond to give us that great feeling of being home. Overall, it was a great summer and one I will never forget.

While I did lots of stuff, the time I spent with my family and friends is what made it so special for me. The next posts will be about the stuff, but I wanted to do this one as a big THANK YOU to everyone who made our summer what it was.
