I've not been around lately. I wanted to get back blogging, but it's just been distracting around here lately. A. is into everything, I don't remember C. being so curious at this age. Anyway, I came across this hop today and thought what better way to start blogging again then joining a fun hop. I'm not crazy about hops you just have to link up to, but these that you actually have to share a little about yourself are always fun. So here I am joining The good Life Monday Lisicles.
List of 10 summer memories:
1.) Summer romance: my husband and I met in June, 16 years ago. It was the making of a summer romance, but somewhere it became more. We met the night of my high school graduation, we had mutal friends who were dating. I can't share the whole summer, but I don't think I'll ever forget it.
2.) The beach: it seemed like has a child that was our vacation every year. I can remember my dad taking his float that was more of a one person blow up boat and going out on the ocean. He would usually fall asleep and return with a horrible sunburn. Probably not the safest of things to do.
3.) Bible School: this I kind of feel guilty about because I loved going to bible school when I was small, yet I haven't shared this with my girls (C. has been A. still has not). One church would run a bus around to pick up children. It was by far the bible school I looked forward to each year. I don't know something about riding a bus off to church without my parents made me feel so grown up.
4.) Thunderstorm: I'm terrified of storms, but one memory I have of being very small is of just that. I can remember sitting on my papaw's porch listening to the rain hit the metal roof. The lightening striking and papaw holding me on his lap telling me it would be okay. He passes away when I was very small and this is one of the few memories I have of him.
5.) The smell of honeysuckles
6.) C. first trip to the beach. John was stationed in Italy and we took her to the American Beach in Tirrenia. She loved all the sand
7.) The duck race in Fairbanks Alaska. I don't know why this memory sticks out, maybe because after winter being inside and cold just having the opportunity to go out in the community.
8.) A trip hiking with John. There have been plenty of hiking trips, but near where we grew up was a place called backbone rock. I think that was the day I realized I would spend my life with him.
9.) Taking C. to disney world. I really can't say who loved it more, me or her. I had been to disney when I was younger, but getting to experience a place like that with your child is a whole nother experience in itself.
10.) A. growing up. All of last summer seemed to go by far to fast. I have so many wonderful memories of A. talking and playing becoming more independent and growing into a toddler.
