This Saturday, Jake, Sadie, and I, will be starting our 18 hour drive to Vermont. We are so excited to make our annual trip to New England and this one will be extra special because we will be meeting my mom and dad their who will be getting back from their mission!!! We will be gone for over a month. I feel kind of like I should be in a Jane Austin book taking off for so long-what a life they all lived back then going visiting for weeks on end! All my extended family is still up north so we always enjoy seeing everyone. My sister will also be making the trip with her kiddos all way from the Ukraine! Talk about an amazing family reunion. Aaron and Nana Harmon will be flying up to spend a long weekend with us over Jake's b-day weekend and we are planning on celebrating his decade birthday in style-on the lake! The picture I have with my blog title is one of my all time favorites. It is of Jake last year in Lake Groton where we will be...Did I mention I was excited?!?!?
I am officially starting my blog vacation a few days before the real one starts. My list of things I have to do is not shrinking, but the number of days to do it all is....Not to mention the fact that I just found out I have a pretty big blog project ahead of me. I finished reading Sense and Sensibility last week (LOVED IT!!!) and I was going to change the picture on the left side of my blog to show the book I am reading next (Wuthering Heights-I am really trying to love it but it is depressing...but I can't put it down, even though it is depressing!!!) but I couldn't...It turns out I have used up all the space that blogger allows for uploading/storing pictures. When I get back from vacation I have to start the long and tedious process (thank you Jamie over at Welcome to the Madness for explaining to me how to fix it! She is the go to for all things blogging, homeschooling, preparedness, homemaking...You get the picture-she is a genius!), of making my pictures smaller to make more room. Because really what is the point of blogging without pictures! Especially when I will have 2,547,934 pictures to post when I get back from my month long trip!!! You are jealous aren't you? Not about the hours of fixing my blogging mistake, but of my MONTH LONG TRIP!!! (****Just in case any would be burglars are reading this-remember my husband will be home and our house is protected by Smith and Wesson. I have always wanted to say that. :) But it really is so please don't try and break in. That concludes the "paranoid thoughts" part of my blogging...****)
I will miss you all my blog friends!!! I will have to take a whole day to read all the posts you guys write while I am gone! :) Did I mention that Camp (that is what our whole family calls the cabin on the lake my Grampa Smith built, where we will be staying 3 of the 4+ weeks we will be gone. Camp is the cabin's name I guess you could say. I will post pictures of camp when I get back...and fix my blog!) has no phone, TV, computer, or cell service? It is a REAL vacation. :) So, don't have too much fun with out me and check back in about the middle of September when I will re-enter the blog world!
