The beginning of getting back to reality...

Today we experienced a fabulous church service...

We ate a great brunch at Cafe 22...

This afternoon we were a part of "Cupcakepalooza" - I'll blog about that later.

Tonight we ate Moe's (again) and then...

unfortunately gave Jennifer a ride to the airport to fly back to Atlanta.

What does that mean?

Summer is starting to wind down. Regular world is close to setting in.

Two classes start officially tomorrow.

School starts for the kids in two weeks.

Steve's job ends in a week.

Kick-off is around the corner (and I'm talking ministry kick-off for the school year, not football, although that's coming too).

Real World - not the MTV version - but the real life version is coming back. Fall brings a bit of chaos & structure. It means less flexible and at times more overwhelming. We have one more camping trip for our family - our personal family vacation this summer - yeah!

What I don't like?

The kids back in school (I like spending time with them)

My friends flying back across the country (I like spending time with them)

The weather getting cooler (oh sunshine & warm - hold on)

Having to get up earlier in the morning (duh...)

I don't think you ever escape the feeling that summer is restful, spontaneous, and vacation, and that fall means the end of the fun and the beginning of "real life." Phinneas and Ferb have it right - make the most of it... every day of it. I will NOT take for granted the days of summer that are ahead. Please don't do that either! Check of P&F and see what they do...

There's a longer version of this song...

I'll try to find it and post it...

Til then... make the most of every moment...
