Pain and hurt can make the days pass slowly. Imagine 8 days of being sick, or 8 days waiting for to hear an all important answer.
Excitement can make time pass too quickly. 8 days in Mexico wasn't anywhere near enough time. The first 8 days of being married, all of which started with a wedding, are some of the best days of your life.
I have experienced 8 days in each of these capacities and consider myself blessed in that the past 8 days have been so wonderful that they have disappeared in the blink of an eye. There is something about waking up next to Sean that gives me butterflies. Two IS better than one!
The last week of June was a little crazy BUT I managed to get everything done that needed to be done. Report cards, end of year stuff, going to Grunthal grad, and wedding. It's not surprising that the end of all the commotion has left me in a state of boredom.
Summer Challenge!
Day 1 - July 2, 2010
Challenge:
As I think of June it was a month of challenges and accomplishments. To ease the boredom I've decided to keep the challenges going. It is now 69 days till the kids are back in school. I have decided to challenge myself to do at least one thing every day that I wouldn't typically do. I will blog my daily challenges and my success (or lack of) regularly. We will see just how much I can accomplish by the time school starts again on September 8th!
Results:
Consider my first challenge accomplished. I came up with the idea and it has been the focus of my mind the two days since. Even Sean is on board giving me ideas on what I could do each day.
Day 2 - July 3, 2010
Challenge:
Tonight, as I watch UFC, I will NOT fall asleep. I have a hard time staying awake past 10:00, but today I will do whatever is necessary to take it ALL in.
Results:
I made it! My strategy was to focus on the commentary and learn the technical jargo that accompanies the sport. I have always found UFC interesting and entertaining and after tonight, maybe others will believe me because I was awake to see it ALL!
Day 3 - July 4, 2010
Challenge:
Today I will book airline tickets so we have a tentative itinerary for Europe. Booking the tickets won't be the challenge, being content with the final decision will be.
Results:
Together we have decided we will be visiting London, Dublin, Rome and Switzerland. To be perfectly honest I didn't completely pass this challenge. It took a good couple of hours to make the decision and after all was said and done I still questioned what we had done. I am not going to loose sleep over it though, and in fact, I am going to find peace in the fact that we have an idea of what our next three week entails.
66 more days. 66 more challenges
