Well, as the summer is wrapping up now, it is difficult not to be a little ansy about things to come. Isn't it funny, how even when we are on vacation, we find ways to become stressed? I do, anyway. I am always so busy planning for the future, and trying to prepare for it, that I forget to live! I am already looking for next summer's job, which of course means I'm attempting to plan my entire life.

In the middle of it all, though, I know that I am deeply blessed. I have a wonderful man to share it all with, and help me remember the important stuff. And I've my whole life ahead of me, with many good things to come. And I've got my family, who finally all have met Jon. This past weekend was with my sister and brother-in-law in Atlanta, where we met them at the prettiest hotel ever where they were staying. How precious is my nephew! I really like him. And my niece is funnier than ever, and I can't get enough of her smiles. Jon and I both loved watching how my sister and brother-in-law ran their family, full of love! We look forward to spending more time with them in the future.

Now I am back in Florida for one more week. I am doing wedding projects, preparing my resume, catching up on my blog, things like that. I'm really thankful I have this last week to reflect, appreciate what a great summer it's been and patiently look forward to things to come.
