Unofficial Start to Summer

We enjoyed a cookout and fire with friends over Memorial weekend and I look forward to many more. Today was the first day of summer vacation and I my grueling work schedule is finally over!!! Well sort of... I'll be leaving next week for my nephew Aaron's graduation and have to cram my work hours into a few days, complete my paperwork early (since its due when i'll be gone), and complete a training the day before i leave.

I am so looking forward to seeing my sister and the rest of the family. After all these years its still hard not having them around. I miss the cookouts, watching the kids having fun together in the pool, and just actually seeing them. My sisters' kids are now grown up and my youngest is 16... time has just slipped away.

I have a feeling when i have an empty nest it won't be easy. Garret will be graduating tech school in December and he wants to seek employment anywhere, but home. Kaylee has no intentions of living here either after she graduates college (and those 6 years will be here before i know it!). Shannon and the grandkids are here for now, but who knows. So enjoy the time you have when those you love are near.
