but I was waiting to want to blog again. And by then it was almost the end of June, so I decided to wait until July 1st because I figured it was more interesting to take the whole month of June off from blogging. And then I read that blogging is becoming obsolete, which I already knew, and thought about just shutting the thing down. And then I realized that a lot of things things that I do, believe, and find worthwhile are pretty obsolete in this world, and I am fine with being an "old-fashioned" blogger.
You would have thought June would have left me full of words and my brand of wisdom, considering how much I like to go on about life lessons and changes. I have a new job now, leaving a great school and people who have been such a huge part of my life for the past 7 years. Even though I felt it was time to move on, it's still sad and a little scary to leave a place that where you know the daily routine and are comfortable with the role you play each day.
The kids and I are having a really good summer, although this is my first week where I haven't had to work at all. I love having this time with them; they are both clever and creative, and are generally easy going about sharing their space, their time, and their mama. This week is Perry's turn as we spend each morning at swimming lessons, and Heath's baseball stuff is starting back up next week. We can't wait to cruise again in July with the Flints, and spend a little time in New Orleans.
So I better go wake up my little fish and her brother... If we're late, Lu Lee might make me swim laps, too!
I'm glad you didn't quit blogging. I love reading. I'm excited about your new job and all the things you have to look forward to!!

April, please DO NOT STOP BLOGGING. I don't get much info from you all - you are so busy and the things you blog about are great for me to read. Trey told Jim this morn that you all are going on the cruise. I am so glad you can go. When? Will you leave before Judy gets back from Ireland? I was glad to know they were there, Walter called this morn to tell us. Hope they have a good time and a safe one. Love You, Edna

April, I love reading your blog, and I don't think blogging will become truly obsolete for quite some time. It's good to hear from you. Congrats on your new job. Sorry we didn't get to see you when we were in Memphis.
