Final Blog

Blogging for me was hard. I ahd found myself trying to find time to get it done. For the first week I had trouble trying to even make time to write them, with the holiday and taking two courses this summer. I can tell you that I have learnd a great deal with blogging. Not only does it help me write more fluently, it also helped me get out my thoughts and feelings. Blogging was a new experiance for me and I didn't think I would like it, but I actually did! Thanks Ms. A for the lesson.

Well the heat is still extremely miserable.  I have went swimming again to help deal with the heat.  I have also been spending a lot of time indoors.  I really wish it wasn’t all on homework but the semester is almost at the end.  I guess a week or so more will not be that bad.  We have had temperatures in the upper 90s and by the end of the week they are going to be in the lower 90s…  One would think that isn’t a big change but the weather man acts like it is. It may be a huge change for homeless people or people that work in the heat.  To me though it doesn’t make a big change. I still can’t really enjoy the outdoors without working up a sweat just sitting in my back yard.  I think the kids are even tired of it.  They love to be outside but they are spending more and more time inside.  I am ready for a little bit of rain and a little cooler temperatures.  We will see when I will get them. The forecast doesn’t show it for the next week.

These blogs are becoming extremely hard!  Thinking of something to write about is getting harder and harder each day.  I have wrote about the weather, my marriage, my brother’s marriage, my kids.  All of the items that I think about or that mean something to me.  The class isn’t overly hard except these blogs.  Grant it, they are easier points to get but how does one think of what to say? I am glad I never set up a blog like I thought about doing in the past.  I would have never kept up with it.  Unless everyday something exciting happened, I would be lost for words.  I wonder how many of my peers struggle with coming up with stuff to write about.

Today I spent the day with family.  My wife and kids went to Silver Dollar City with her family and I.  It has became a tradition to go every year with her family.  She has nephews that live out of state and always come down and spend a week of their summer with us and we take them to Silver Dollar City.  It was so hot though the day was almost miserable.  Thank god we choose to go on a Sunday.  It would have been packed any other day. The rides were fun and the kids had a blast.  I think overall the best part of this adventure was riding PowderKeg with my daughter.  It is one of the most thrilling roller coasters there if not the most!  She was upset because she wasn’t able to ride a different roller coaster because she wasn’t tall enough.  She road this one twice! She was very brave and I was so happy for her

Well my youngest brother got married today.  It was a very hectic morning.  I was doing the music and my wife was taking pictures.  On top of that we had three kids to get ready for it.  So needless to say I am officially wore out!  It was a cute little place in the country where my brother and sister-in-law got married.  The lady has had the place for about 10-12 years and nature has really grown up around it and makes it look awesome.  There was a waterfall, bridges, the outside ceremony!  It was a very magical place.  There were a lot of memories made today.  Just looking through pictures amazes me.  Everyone got along! I know that may sound silly to bring up but sometimes it is hard to get everyone to just get along.  Now, my brother and new sister-in-law  are going to come over and spend some time with me.  We are going to have a nice relaxing night.

Kids are so amazing.  They can be a huge pain, but at the end of the day they are a ball of joy filled with love.  In the mornings there are times I wished I had as much energy as they did.  They will be talking non-stop and running circles around me at 6 o’clock in the morning.  That early in the morning I am still trying to figure out how to get coffee in my cup.  Once I have my coffee I get a little bit of energy but nothing compared to children.  At this time the children are now bouncing off walls, screaming, and fighting with each other.  Time for a second cup of coffee.  Now, it is lunch time.  They are hungry and as they grow older they eat and eat and eat!  By this time of the day I am ready to take a nap.  However, they just got more energy from their food.  So, here we go again it starts all over just like 6 in the morning.  It can be rough at times but I would not change anything.  I enjoy having my kids with me everyday.  Especially at their ages they are so adorable with their sayings and actions.

Today I picked my grandma up from the airport.  The look on the children’s faces was amazing.  They were so excited.  My grandma was super excited too.  She was excited that my family picked her up and she got to meet my youngest child.  He is three and every time she visited I wasn’t able to get him.  It was an amazing experience, I hope the kids will remember it forever.  After we picked her up we all went and enjoyed a lovely dinner before taking her to my parent’s house.  I sure wasn’t ready to leave but I am excited she is here for a couple months.   Besides that going on, today I got my yard cleaned up and my wife was able to go apply for her new social security card. Overall, it was a busy and productive day with a wonderful ending.
