End of summer?

I can't believe its the middle of August! This summer flew by but we did ALOT. From all the volunteering and camps in June, the markets and visitors in July. Its been amazing to spend our first summer here. Our extra time has been spent outdoors and exploring new areas. There are so many beautiful places to visit and so much to do. I am feeling a bit emotional realizing Adam will be in school soon. Its like my little bird leaving the nest. Its strange because I don't remember feeling this way about Summer starting at all. Maybe because I knew I still had another little one to go (in my mind there is no way I will be having any more kids) and also maybe because I know I am starting a new phase in my life. Maturity, getting older, and watching my kids grow? I am also feeling apprehensive about what is next for me. The markets will be done the middle of Sept and my kids will be back to school. I would like to still keep working on the business but in what capacity? I have been looking at spaces for a small deli but I haven't found anything that jumps out at me, I could also go the wholesale route or also just cater. I am waiting to see what God's plan is for me.

We just returned from a little trip to Redlodge, MT and Cody, WY. What a beautiful trip! We drove on the Beartooth Highway- hailed as the most beautiful stretch of highway in the country. I would have to agree but I haven't been on every highway :0) we reached elevations of 11,000 feet above sea level! It was surreal being that high up- literally inside clouds. It was like another planet.

There is something exciting about fall, the first day of school, new clothes and bookbags. I still get jitters thinking that I will be going back to my own classroom. Now I just have jitters for my own kids new adventures and experiences. Hopefully, I can make it special for them (mommy do you HAVE to pictures at school??)
