i blame the heat.

I haven't been so good at keeping up with this blog as I originally intended to. I even have a list of different types of blog posts that I would like to write. I want to take this seriously, but I keep avoiding it.

My first excuse was that I did not feel like loading vacation pictures onto a web album so that I could add them to a post (after I figured out how to). Then I was too hot to sit down and actually write anything because our apartment is almost always over 80 degrees except at night when I want to spend time with my husband.

No more excuses! Tomorrow I'm going to upload some pictures and write about our vacation. Vacations are always more than just a trip away for me. I always end up thinking about who I am, where I'm going, and who I want to be. Maybe it's the calming ocean waves or the long drives, or perhaps I'm just overly thoughtful. Whatever it is, I love vacations and I love coming home with resolutions about starting fresh.

July 4th does not have pictures but it was a wonderful day spent in the heat of Boston, surrounded by friends and spent on quiet (however quiet Boston can be with millions of people around) walks with my husband. Watching the fireworks right on the banks of the Charles River always takes me breath away. They are so big, so bright, and so close. I love July 4th for its celebrations of country, camaraderie, and of course cookouts with friends.

Vacation discussion coming soon. I hope to have other regular sorts of posts that I will update about next time.

For friends near or far.
