july, we have been waiting for you. we are so excited to meet you & honestly, we thought we might have to wait many more years to finally say that this is the month we are purchasing our first home. this is such a blessing to our family. we are thankful.
june, you were really good to us. you provided that much needed rest we all really craved. we succeeded in june. we soaked up summer with watermelon on the front porch, dinners outside, farm parties & camp outs in the back of our old truck. i am continuing to run. 11.5 lb. down & counting. & we definitely simplified. almost every closet is cleaned out & every bit that we won’t use in the next month is packed away for our new home.
in july, we will take advantage of these first few weeks before farm animals & farm life. we will soak up this wonderful long weekend with a little summer getaway to the river. summer sausages wrapped up in whole wheat buns on the fire, coffee in the wee morning hours, good friends, a borrowed canoe & several days of floating bliss. once we return, we will begin turning our simple 1980s house into a home. along the way, we will appreciate this change, the many blessings of this time, & have a whole lot of fun.
