Summer 2017 thus far...

Well... hello!  I haven't written anything on here in quite a little while.  Life.  It gets so busy.   I've been working a lot more than usual.  I am trying my best to pay off some debt and also to try and save some money for a trip to Florida we are planning.  Our family hasn't been since Emily was like 6, so it's kind of exciting.  We are going with Brian's brother's & his family.   They are what you call Disney experts.  So that's good.  We will not be staying at DisneyWorld but will be visiting the park for 3 days.  We are really excited!!  We also have a lot to still do to get ready for this trip, and we haven't yet come up w/ all the funds to cover everything.  So when all that gets worked out it will be a little easier to enjoy the idea of vacation.  Right now, it's still on the yikes side.. can we swing this?  We can and we will but it's still nerve-wrecking not being at the point where everything is paid.   We definitely need a vacation, unfortunately because the trip will be sometime in the future, we don't have any vacation plans for summer.  So it's going to be a pretty standard, stay at home summer.  Hopefully we can do a little local things to make it a somewhat eventful summer.  Emily's been having a pretty low-key summer as well.   Hmmm... so this is kind of a boring blog.  lol.   What else?  I have this horrible habit of losing my cell phone.  I'm not much of a cell phone person.  I have one, but I think I'd be ok if I didn't... lol.  I am constantly losing it, mostly because unlike most people, I don't have it attached to my hip.  It's something I use when i need to and don't when I don't.  So often times i wont know where it is for a day or two and by that point it's dead and I'm screwed cause I don't know where it is, I'm pretty bad at putting it in the same place.  It's very  annoying.  I need to get better at keeping a track of it.  It's not inexpensive and I should care more about it.... but I just can't seem to get in the habit of it, and I guess I just don't have a super need for it.  I figure if you need to get a hold of me, call the house line. Anyway,  what else?  Emily's doing well, she's working a little on her summer assignments for school.  She has to read a book for her AP English class, she choose to read 1984. She's about 100 pages in... I guess that's pretty good. I believe there is also an assignment to go along with it, but she hasn't started on that part.   She has yet to start on her History summer assignment. I reminded her of it today,  she's like.. OK.  Typical teenage.   I hope she doesn't wait to the last minute to get them done.  It would be nice if she got them done early and could just enjoy a few weeks with out it hanging over her head,  hint.. hint... Emily if you are reading this!! ;) Well I guess I'll go.  I hope if you come across this,  that you are having a great day!
