July

It's a beautiful July day! Four days before my love's birthday! My summer has now slowed down, no more weddings! We had a beautiful time at our friends' wedding last weekend. We got to stay at a bed and breakfast at a ranch. It really was awesome.....the reception was held in a barn. It really makes me want to live on a farm, raise some chickens and a couple of cows. Maybe I can talk Gary into that. I also want a big garden. Not a garden like Dan and Cynthia's, but with lots of vegetables. Some day....I'll keep dreaming.
School is going good for Gary. He really is a trooper. He gets up at 5:30 to get ready, teaches his one student from 7-9 am and then scoots off to school for a full day of classes and teaching. He's actually working in a clinic with real patients Monday thru Thursday. Then he gets home around 8:30 in time for a bite to eat, then back to studying. He's tough. I remember those days of working so hard....and my mom getting phone calls in the middle of the night with me crying. I definately wasn't this stable during my masters program. I'm very proud of him. I tell him that every day I can.
We have a month before we leave for Ireland. It's going to be such an adventure. We'll have so many pictures from that trip! Can't wait!
Hunter and Bri will be here on the 8th of August. I am so lucky to have that oppurtunity to have them with us. My life couldn't be more complete.
We love you and I'll write again soon.
