Summer's Almost Over? Oh no!

Well the summer is winding down, and boy was it a doozy! Herman was in Alaska fishing, and I was down here working as well.

I did something this summer that I've never done before. I rock climbed. I white water rafted. I was adventurous. It was quite the experience, and while it was scary, I am proud of myself for doing it. The kids whose group I lead also had a blast, and it was fun to see them so happy.

In all my spare time, I did some projects around the house. I organized the pantry, I cleaned and organized the office, gardened, and most tranformative of all, I re-did the guest room. I am pretty proud of the results.

This is the Guest Room before

Here are the guest room "after" pictures
Notice the paint change (that was an ordeal)
The fun bookcase where I was finally able to showcase Herman's travel books

The artwork

Overall I'm very proud of all the projects I've completed this summer.

July 29th was our 3 year wedding anniversary, and Herman surprised me by coming home early. He just walked in the house early in the morning as I was letting the dog out.

As many of you know, when we got married we never got around to taking a honeymoon. His anniversary present to me is a trip to Hawaii - and we leave in 2 days!!! I am so excited. We will be staying with family and friends down there, so it is not a true "honeymoon", but nevertheless, I'm really looking forward to our get-away.

Mukluk also had much fun this summer - a post about his adventures coming soon!
