Summer is winding down

We are now in the final stretch of summer. I am not sure If this makes me very happy or a little sad.
On the one hand I will be thankful for the drop in temperature but not to the freezing point.
We went on three camping trips this summer.
Our first was just with the kids to rockport, it was OK but cold at night.
Our second trip we went to a new place called Pallisade park with Ben's friend Josh and his extended family. it was great!! we had a wonderful time and got a bit of golf in.
Josh's family are great. I hope we are invited again next year. The only down side was Matt couldn't come. he had to work.
Our last trip (maybe not the final one) we went to Bear lake. Man I love that lake. it is always so beautiful.Other then the dogs are kinda a pain it was nice.
I say maybe not the final trip, we still have gas in the truck and me and Ben need a night away alone to go fishing.

School will be starting soon and my babies are getting so big.
Camri will be a 6th grader!!!!!! how on earth did that happen so fast.
My little boy will be in 11th. Wow is that a junior?

My days are getting better. I can go shopping without crying.
A step in the right direction.
I still pray for a 2 line surprise, but it no longer haunts me that it may not happen.

I have already decided I am ready for the holidays. I have to make this decision early because before you know it there are going to be Turkeys and Christmas tree's filling the local Walmart's.
yep this year will be a good one.
happy early holidays!
