We are still in full force "summer of fun mode" and have continued to stay very busy, I just haven't had time to post about it. We have had some event every weekend for the last month and that pattern continues through mid October, which is A-Ok with us since it's all super fun stuff!
I traveled to KC for my dear friend, Thea's Bridal/Bachelorette extravaganza. It was a day full of celebrating the beautiful woman she is inside and out and her upcoming nuptials. I am so happy that she has found her forever "friend"/ hubs. It was wonderful to catch up with friends I hadn't seen in FOREVER, as in years. Seeing them made me realize just how much I had missed them.
We spent Labor Day weekend at the lake with friends and family. We went boating, tubing,( which I am beginning to feel to old for, I spent a week on the heating pad) and to the races.

I got to spend extra time with my niece, Hurley, who as of right now thinks I am pretty cool. I will take it as long as I can get it. I am sure the day will come when she is older and I'm even older which automatically makes me lame. Here's to hoping for forever coolness :)
I know the races may not sound like much fun to some folks, but we have made some great friends in an entire racing family and get to watch everything from the pits. Austin gets to help change tires and do other macho car stuff to help out between races. It's really pretty exciting and so fun to cheer on people we know!

The latest adventure was Zoobilee, which is almost always a wonderful time. (Minus that one time everyone got tased and arrested. That's a whole other story in which the characters are much more classy and honestly innocent that it sounds. Perhaps in another post) This year my sister joined myself and my friends Sheryl and Doug. There is never a dull moment when Amanda is involved. I think Amanda and I spent 30+ minutes in the gorilla exhibit. Forget booze and food when there are monkeys involved :)
I would love to say that all of this fun makes me forget all of my worries and just makes it all better. It doesn't. It sure makes the suckiness of my situation suck a lot less though. As much as I am ready for my life to move the direction I want it to move, when I sit back and really think about things I realize how pretty frickin awesome my life is right now. It's easy to imagine how fulfilled and beautiful life with our child will be, which simultaneously makes it easy to forget to be thankful for the life I have right now.
Our life messy and weird, unpredictable and outrageous its full of fast cars and freedom ( just like the Rascal Flatts song), and a ton of fun. We have had the opportunity to do so many things in the last year and have made some incredible memories.
I am trying to remember that no matter where my crazy life takes me or whats going on, no matter how wrong things can seem, that perhaps they are actually right. Maybe there are just how they're supposed to be right then. These are just small chapters in the larger book that is my life, and there is a whole lot left to be written. The control freak/planner in me hates this... especially since lately I am feeling more like a co-author and God's got a firm grip on the dang pen, but there are still moments and pieces that are all mine. So while I am waiting to see exactly how this chapter ends, I'll be out living. Until our next adventure...
