<\/p>\nAs students stream back to school this fall, they’re getting busy writing the ubiquitous “what we did over summer break” essays. <\/p>\n
And as the Garcias ease back into something of a routine (I’m hoping!), I too will be writing what we did over summer break.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t intentional, this summer blogging break – but it wasn’t unintentional either.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We were busy this summer. We spent a week in Yellowstone National Park with my family at the beginning of July. We spent a week in Colorado with Daniel’s family at the beginning of August. And I jumped right into teaching Sunday School a couple days after we got back from Colorado. In the in-between-time, we packed and did home improvements and took a first aid\/CPR class for foster care and cleaned and tried (fruitlessly, it seems) to keep up with the yard and garden. And I gestated. I’m still gestating – and hoping to be for several more months.<\/p>\n
Reading it now, I can’t decide whether to be overwhelmed by what we’ve accomplished this summer or whether to feel like it isn’t that much now that I’ve got it on paper. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But in the moment it felt like a lot. Flitting and flying, planning and packing and catching up from being gone. <\/p>\n
There was barely enough time to process one trip before we left on the next – and I really want to process those trips and preserve those memories. <\/p>\n
Which is why I plan a protracted narrative\/photo essay here on bekahcubed, detailing just exactly what we did over our summer break. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
