just an update

just a little update....this past week has been pretty good. except for the 110 degree weather! i celebrated 14 years of marriage, and had a good time with my girls this week, zed had a fabulous time at camp, which had been a big concern since he had a traumatic experience at that camp a few years ago and skipped a year because of it. i have taken the attitude that i need to be unnaturally pleasant to my in-laws because the tension was making me physically sick. we got to have dinner with the popes(not the pope, as my daughters thought) but some new friends that we made this summer, it was a great time of sharing and praying for each other. really sweet people. i have swam a lot this week, which is nice, but the sun is draining. i have gotten to spend quality time with my favorite people, saw god answer a huge prayer request for a close friend, and actually got two really good nights sleep this week which is huge. today, my son came home from camp, and then an hour later, dave took him and the girls backpacking for the weekend, i ended up driving kennedy to her mom and now am trying to plan a weekend alone for myself, i am a little nervous and pretty tired, but know that i need to be safe and i also have a ton of cleaning and organizing to do. the kids start school in like 3 weeks, and kennedy will be leaving, maybe? not absolutely sure about that. i cannot wait until the weather cools at least a little. i hope that everyone else that i know and love is safe and happy. missing a lot of friends right now, hope i can reconnect with some of them soon. let you know how the weekend goes.
