Do you ever feel like your family’s birthdays and anniversaries all tend to fall within the same months? In our family, July, August, and September are busy ones. Siblings on both sides of our family have anniversary dates within a day of each other in August. We have numerous birthdays on my side of the family in July and August. And my brother just added our new nephew to the family within the same time frame. Here’s to allll the celebrations!
Update 1:
On September 1st, Terry and I celebrated our 23rd wedding anniversary. I got married when I was 23, so now I’ve been married for as long as I was alive at our wedding. Wild!
How it started…
How it’s going…
(I had to go back two months to find a photo of the two of us together this summer. Must do better on that!)
Update 2:
On September 6th, my parents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. I am so aware of what a huge blessing that is. I know that so many people don’t get to have their parents as long as I have, and I give thanks for that everyday. And it’s even more of a blessing that they’ve given us such a great example of marriage to follow.
How it started…
How it’s going…
(Again, we have to be better about getting photos! I snapped this one when we were out to lunch this August.)
Update 3:
At the end of August, I drove our daughter out to college in Minnesota (and got to see my parents!) We miss her but we are so excited for the year ahead of her. She’s working on her college newspaper, and I’m not biased at all to think her articles are near perfection. 🙂
How it started…
How it’s going…
Update 4:
Our son started his sophomore year of high school. He’s looking forward to basketball season and so are we!
How it started…
How it’s going…
Update 5:
I recently handed in my thirteenth book to my editor, and now I’m awaiting her feedback and edits. (I always get so nervous during this part!) The Summer of Keeping Secrets has been out in the world for three months, and I am so grateful to those who have read it, bought it, and left reviews. Bless you and thank you!
How it started…(Falling for Texas on the shelf!)
How it’s going… (The Summer of Keeping Secrets in the store!)
Signed copies are at the Citadel Barnes & Noble if you’re a Colorado Springs local. 🙂
That’s what’s going on with us. What’s going on with you? Drop your news in the comments. I’d love to hear the latest in your world!
