All by myself...

  Today I have had the rare opportunity to be by myself.  Will and Wes are at Dry Gulch children's camp with the church and Jack and Ben are spending the night with Grammy and Poppy.  I find it so interesting that when these occasions present themselves, I don't really know what to do with myself.  I love being able to think my own thoughts, move at my own  pace, make my own agenda and be just a little selfish.

I had lunch with my husband, who by the way, I've re-decided is the smartest man on Earth.  We ended up eating Julie's take-out (mmmmmmmm..) at his desk.  People were in and out asking questions and checking in with him and I was again reminded how good he is juggling a million things and still managing to keep it all organized in his head.  There's some kind of rare phenomenon going on inside his brain that allows him to store and recall an enormous amount of info, dates, facts, numbers etc.  After 17 years together, I'm still impressed.

I also registered for my summer and fall classes!  Just FYI, the fall and spring should be the last 2 semesters before I FINALLY graduate from college.  I have been working on this dang degree, on and off for 15 years!  Whatever it means to everyone else, I will be completely impressed and proud of myself! :) 

My last stop was Books-A-Million.  Accompanied by my caramel, coconut iced latte, I was able to look through some travel books that suggested places all over the world to visit.  So, here's the deal, I've decided that before I die, I want to go to Kenya, Brisbane, Rome, Jerusalem and some big city in China...  Not to mention every tropical place on earth!  I guess that degree better pay off...
