I can't believe that summer vacation is already halfway over. I always hope that when school is out our pace will slow down and be more relaxed. I think all that really happens is that our busy lives are occupied with different but not fewer activities.
So far this summer we have been to swim meets, vacation bible school, swimming lessons, the beach, and camp. We have also welcomed a new addition to the family, my niece Charlotte (Charley). Throw in some trips to Memphis to visit the grandparents and new cousin and our summer has been non stop busy. And it is only halfway through. I am leaving Saturday for a medical mission trip to Nicaragua (more on that soon). We also have cousins and aunt/uncle from East TN coming for a visit, and then a trip to Santa Claus, IN to go to Holiday World and Splashin' Safari. We are finding time in the middle of all of that to have Sydney's Sunday School class over for a cookout and swim party. I also will squeeze in a week on the night shift.
After that we get to start school all over again... Trying to find peace and quiet along with rest in the chaos is difficult. It takes work and effort to relax. That may not make much sense, but I hope to find more ways in the future to work smarter and carve out more time for relaxation. It is worth it. At least the things we have been busy doing are a lot of fun! (except the upcoming night shift)
