Dear Blog, Again with the neglect. The sad thing is I had posts planned and everything organized on my planner, but between football season, school activities and birthday party planning, I sort of ignored all other responsibilities. I promise to be better this week. Seriously. I have lots to say.
Dear Football Season, I never thought I’d see the day where I was excited to welcome you back, but here it is. We had such a great time in Atlanta watching the first Bama game with our friends and I’m looking forward to taking the girls later this year. It will be Sophie’s first time at Bryant-Denny and we’re gonna start working on that fight song this week.
Dear High-School Football, We’ll take you, too. There is nothing quite like walking across the street on a Friday night for greasy concession stand food and a pretty good drum line. You are one of the things I’ll miss most when we finally leave this house.
Dear Whole30, It’s been an entire week and I’m still on the wagon. It’s the closest thing to a miracle I’ve experienced in recent history. Usually, by the seventh day of any “diet” I’m crying about sweet tea and all the food I never even eat that I suddenly miss wholeheartedly. It helps that Josh is doing Whole30-ish and we’re working really hard to hold one another accountable.
Dear Ella, How are you going to be EIGHT YEARS OLD on Thursday?! I’m almost positive it hasn’t actually been that long since you were born.
Dear EC Life Planner, Get in my hands. I still have a few months left on last year’s planner, but as soon as I got that shipping notification, I started getting anxious for the new one. I’ve ordered pens, bought some cute new sticky notes and made some fun stickers to help keep me more organized. I’ve used a planner more this summer than ever before and I’m vowing to keep it up.
Dear Office, Aren’t you glad I cleaned you up last week? I spent the better part of five days packing boxes, shredding paper and making you pretty and I think I’ll be more productive because of it. All I need is a new desk lamp and some recent photos for my wall and all will be well.
Dear Mad Men, Why were we so late to your party? Josh & I have just started season two and we LOVE it. I’m kind of resenting NFL games for ruining our binge-watching after the girls are in bed every night.
Dear Bible Study Girls, I’m so thrilled that we are finally meeting again. I know it worked out best for everyone that we take the summer off, but I really missed my girls’ nights. I love the book we picked out for this season and I can’t wait to learn from each of you this year!
Dear Trampoline, I think Josh & I love you just as much (maybe more) than the girls do. We tested you out before they ever came outside and we acted a lot like little children last night after church. I’m guessing you were worth every penny we spent.
