Two posts in a week? Gasp! Yes, it's true. Now that the most stressful nine weeks of my life are behind me (complete with 10 min lunches, going home "early" meant going home an hour late, poor posture, scrambled brain, tears, and a few outbursts at the futility of it all) I'm coming back to life and happy to be here. My workload is back to managable levels, and I got to run away from it all and take a trip home to Idaho!
Yay!
I don't make it there very often these days. I think I've spent a collective 12 days in Coeur d'Alene in the last year and a half and most of that time was during the winter. August is definitely the time to visit the great Inland Northwest. Perfect weather, warm water, and still green green green everywhere.
And then, of course, the North Idaho Fair and Rodeo! Yep, I made it back to help out at the Elephant Ear Booth this year. Our family worker roster was a bit lean this year, so I went home to help out. I had a blast. I went boating twice, worked at the fair everyday with a mass of relatives whom I love, went running and hung out with my dad at Tubbs Hill, played my harp, met my newborn nephew, hung out with friends at the fair, went to my brother's cross country meet. I think it was so good because it was the most engaged I've been in
being home and taking advantage of all the, well, advantages.
Photo collage of the trip, because it's a lot easier than uploading pictures individually. And it takes less time to load. And you probably wouldn't care to look at each picture individually anyway unless you're my stalker. Or bored. Or my dad.

Sooooo true!! Summer is best. I was just telling Jon how I wish it was longer here, but then we realized that that is what makes us appreciate each moment of it more. :) It was fun to see you!!
