Found metal BB's in my baby's inflatable pool. Yeah... not so inflatable anymore.
Who does that?

The End
I went to see the final Harry Potter movie this morning. Juan's work graciously gave him and his coworkers two tickets each to the early bird showing. So, I dropped off Jack at the neighbors and had a nice little AM date with my husband.
The movie was more than I ever could have expected. Even though I read the books and knew the ending, I was totally captivated throughout the entire movie. I was full out crying towards the end of the movie - partially because of what was taking place on screen and partially because of what was taking place inside my soul.
Harry potter was a huge part of my childhood, and even as I've grown into adulthood, Harry Potter and the gang have been right there with me. It was my one connection to adolescence, and now it is gone. No more magical spells. No more giddy excitement for the newest book or film. No more midnight showings. No more Harry Potter.
It has been a great run Harry - you will be missed.

I LOVE SUMMER!
Summer is my absolute favorite season of the year. I would not change the hot weather for anything! And I'll even take the occasional thunderstorm. I love it all!!!!!!!! (I could do without mosquitoes though)
Today Jack played in the pool. Then we rode the bike to Target. I bought a popcorn combo for $1.82, and then we rode to the nearest park and watched a baseball game while enjoying our treat! After that, Jack played on the playground for an hour, pet all of the dogs he could get his hands on, and we rode home in the warm summer rain :)
It was total bliss!

A Mental Vacation
After graduation (Yes, I did it!), I decided I needed a little mental vacation. I had been pushing myself so hard for so long. And with my last semester being a winter semester, (imagine no sunshine for months and subzero temperatures) and with all the stress, and with all of the time spent away from my family, I felt I deserved to be completely unobligated (yes, I made up that word - I'm a linguist) to ANYTHING or ANYONE (except family). And that is exactly what I've been up to.
I wanted to make up lost time with Jack. I know it was hard for both of us for me to be gone so much. That's not what a mom is supposed to do. I did BF for a full year- to obligate myself to make it home to spend time with my little one. It was the one thing I could do to keep us connected. But now, we are home together all day, and he is my best friend. He follows me everywhere. He helps me put dishes in the dishwasher, clothes in the washing machine, and the rest of the time is spent just playing and enjoying our time. We go on bike rides almost every day, we play with our new friends in the neighborhood, and we play in the pool. I love being so free. I can tell he is so much happier. And so am I :)
I plan on slowly updating my life again. We have done soooo much since I last wrote, but like I said, I was on a mental vacation. Now I'm back, so keep a lookout!
