There are so many things going on during summer vacation!  Currently, I am in the middle of renovations to my home.  We are choosing to do a lot of the work ourselves, which makes things go a little slower and sometimes more frustrating, but in the end it will be worth it.  I am reading up a storm, finishing my third book in the last few weeks and am starting to think a little more about school and classes for next year.  I hope everyone is enjoying their summer vacations, I know I am!
