Summer Bucket List



We sure loved making a list of all the things we want to do this summer. It definitely helped me decide what we should do tomorrow or the next weekend. We didn't get to everything on our list but we had a full summer. Until next time, summertime!

Worry about being a good mom and a good wife. Worry about getting enough sleep tonight so I can have enough energy to get through tomorrow. The list of worries and anxieties go on and on. They don't tell you about this when we sign up to be parent. Or do they? Anyway, last week I was reading the Bible.
