1) I got to sing in my high school best friend, Rachael (Royston) Edwards' wedding!
2) I got to see my sister pregnant! She was all baby and quite lovely. Even though she was just about miserable.
3) I made it home before the birth of my first niece, Emma Lee Shumate, who was born on June 11. I prayed I would be there, and God answered my prayers! I was able to spend the whole 20 some hours in the hospital with my parents and sister and brother-in-law. When Emma finally arrived, I was crying with happiness. She weighed 8 pounds 9 ounces, was 21 inches long, and is still just perfect!
4) Emma got to spend her whole first week with her Aunt Alanna.
5) I slept so much my night owl side came out! I coudln't go to bed before midnight and couldn't get up before 8!
6)I had so much free time (due to the fact that I didn't do all the work I needed to...oh well) that I got bored!! so lovely. I watched tv to fix that.
7) I got to speak in youth group, Sunday night church, to the Emmaus Way group, and to a Sunday school class dinner! such a blessing.
8) Emma spent a whole week in Tennessee with me. We visited all the family at Pappaw's house, and all the other family at our house! We had lots fun together.
9) I got to spend a lot of time with my parents, sister, brother-in-law, niece, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins. AND, I was able to see a few very precious friends in TN and VA.
10) I ate Mom's food, Pal's, Pizza Hut, every other kind of American food. I only drank sweet tea. I shopped and got some good deals. I hiked and kyacked, and just enjoyed the green mountains. And yes, I got some work done.
Overall, pretty good summer!
