When I was in college, my dad sat down with me for a serious talk. He told me to get a paper and pen to take notes, and he titled our talk "Guidelines for Girls With Hyper Hormones".

I made it my summer goal to begin and end each day outside, and it is my favourite thing about this summer. I usually eat breakfast on our deck, and in the evening, Ben and I will sit out there watching the sunset, or we'll just take a few minutes to stand outside, listening to the birds and the rustling leaves. It doesn't have to be long, it just has to be outside.

On Friday, Everett got the idea that it would be fun to set a timer for 59h 59m 59s. After a beautiful, busy weekend at the cabin, that timer went off at 6am this morning. It startled Everett and Kaylia so much that neither one could fall asleep again, so they decided to get up and pack all their stuff. When Ben and I got up a couple of hours later, their bags were ready and waiting at the cabin door.

Last night was perfect - the kind of evening when you don't ever want to go inside. And then just as I was about to climb into bed, I saw a full moon rising. So we headed back out, even though Ben was almost ready to fall asleep, because how often do we get to see a moon rising over the lake like that? The answer is not often enough.✨

Ben and I were discussing the size of his forehead, and trying to determine if his hairline has changed at all in recent years.

This weekend turned out much different than we'd planned. I ended up in emergency for five hours, waiting for some antibiotics for an infection. My mom came with me, and let me tell you, if you're ever stuck in emergency, you want my mom with you. I was exhausted and hungry and very discouraged, because every time I thought I was next, someone would come in with a broken limb or something more critical than an infection, and it felt like the wait would go on forever. My mom decided it was time for something to eat, and went in search of some food that would work for all my crazy dietary restrictions. She came back awhile later with bags of food and supplies, and said. "I had to buy whole packages of plates and forks and napkins!! I wish we'd come in my vehicle - I always keep a bag of picnic supplies in it!" When I told Ben about it, he said, "That's your mom - always ready for a picnic."
