Vacation?

As soon as the last workday was finished, we celebrated properly Friday night. My friend Kristy (a middle school teacher) does an excellent job helping us celebrate. ^_^

Matthew and I went to Sapphire for the weekend to hang with mom and dad. We had a great time. We went on a hike to Rainbow Falls (which was beautiful and massive). It was a 3 mile round trip hike with some not so easy terrain. I'm very proud of mom!

Sunday, we went out on the lake. Matthew and dad paddled around in a canoe. Mom and I took a little motor boat. It was a peaceful, beautiful day! Then we checked out a craft fair sponsored by the local Rotary. I found a perfect watercolor of Moldy.

Matthew and I came home Sunday afternoon. It was a nice little getaway.

Monday, we were right back into it. I went to an orchestra rehearsal, and Matthew was busy doing estimates.
Tuesday, we went to a quartet rehearsal together (since I'm playing a wedding with them on Saturday).
Wednesday, I went to orchestra rehearsal. I was playing viola but was switched to 2nd violin. It was fun while it lasted :P

Today (Thursday), I have my honey-do list and an education committee meeting tonight. I am the Program Director for our Summer String Camp again. This is my third year.
Saturday, we have our orchestra dress rehearsal in the morning, an early evening wedding, and then dinner with the Kings to celebrate birthdays.
Sunday, we have our concert.

Meanwhile, I am waiting for it to feel like summer vacation. I think next week will be better since I think I will be at the beach! It's going to be difficult, because there are a millions things that need doing on the little house. We need to get it rented out and soon! But I guess it will still be there when I get back. Maybe if I get off the computer and work on it the next few days...

Thanks for listnening! I'm not miserable. I actually function better when I'm busy (but not stressed). I don't need to remain idle.
