Summer.

Well, it's summer! School's been out for kids for days, exams are done, my desk is cleaned out, and it's time to relax. It's taken me a while to process being done, and not knowing where I will be in the fall. Couple that with an unknown roommate situation, my brother and bestie getting engaged, and a birthday in the past little while... Needless to say it's been an emotional past few weeks. 

Birthday was fun- had a great get together with friends, dinner with family, and received a serenade at a coffee house show I went to put on by some students. 

Gift from a coworker. He knows me so well. 

Summer is great though, although it's been HOT for the past couple of days. Slept on the couch Monday night, and set up the portable A/C Tuesday in an attempt to keep my room at a reasonable temperature. 

(Fun fact: when it is 29 degrees in your house, chocolate bars melt in your cupboard.)


I have been feeling crafty lately, and thought I would put my time waiting out Tuesday's HUGE thunderstorm to good use. I etched replacement glasses to replace a friends engagement ones that broke, tried stringing together paper hearts (so cute) and made an adorable paper flower. My glue gunning skills leave a bit to be desired, but the book pages hide it so much better than regular paper. 


Spent the past couple days catching up with friends, and truing to motivate myself to start running again. Not long before we leave for PEI, and the next weeks are filled with more wedding stuff (baking wedding pies next week) and hopefully some seriously relaxing.
