Today has been a rainy, rainy day! How is that happy? I LOVE rain! I don't know why, but I always have. Maybe it's memories of swinging on our porch swing with my dad when it was raining. The swing faced out towards the street, and we would put our legs out straight so our bare feet would get wet as they went out from under the roof. I loved those giggly moments with my dad! Or maybe it's just so calming, clean and sweet-smelling . . .
Anyway, it is a happy day for other reasons. Mike got his notification from the US Postal Service today that he will be taking his test on September 14th at 9am. We are so excited to "get the ball rolling" on this one! Although we all KNOW Mike's patience is still perfectly intact, mine has been wearing thin with the delays from the post office. Mike is such a patient, long-suffering guy! God hand-picked him for me, that's for sure!
Yesterday was a great Labor Day. Secretly, I am just feeling a lifted burden of not teaching this year. Not that last year wasn't a great learning experience for me - it was. I am just relieved that I don't have those pressures this year! Anyway, we had a barbeque with my parents, Debby, Tote, Sammy and Grandmom Carter. It was a fun time. I made potato salad, iced tea and strawberry pretzel jello (Mom B - I'm gonna make that for you one of these days!!) We also had hamburgers, hot dogs, baby back ribs, cucumber salad, and cannolis. Yummy stuff! Of course, Sammy was the highlight of the day for everyone. What a little entertainer! He got us giggling many times (which gets him giggling, wanting to be in on all the laughter!) He is a delight!
Everything else is great - we ordered a new down comforter and blanket for our bed today. The down comforter we have is VERY OLD (one my grandmother had given me years ago). It really just needed to be replaced. We got SUCH an AWESOME deal on overstock.com. I can't wait for the package to arrive!!
Well, today was the start of school for most kids and teachers and men who sit in the office and go home whenever they wish (who in the world could I be referring to?!?! . . . ) So, hope it was a good one for all of you!!
Happy September!
*I always make my posts yellow, so you know right-off-the-bat that it's me writing. Well, as I made this one yellow, Mike was teasing me that I have no need to do that, since the title is "Hooray (exclamation) What a happy day (exclamation)." --all said it a mock-feminine voice! What a stinker he is, but I love him! He makes me laugh!
