Impatient for Autumn

I am so ready for fall. It's right on the brink here... sitting in the shade of our giant maple, I can feel a cool breeze carrying just a hint of that smoky-fall smell. And just a few trees and shrubs areound town are beginning to show signs of turning. I'm so excited for this year... not really sure why. I guess it's because I'm hopeful that there will be some big changes for us in the coming fall/winter/spring. Some progress. With Dan being in school for the past four years, we've been in this sort of forced stasis, and it will be so gratifying to finally break out of that and begin living our lives.

Emily begins preschool tomorrow. I'm excited for her, and at the same time, terrified. I just really hope she doesn't cry when we leave. I'm like 90% sure she won't. The preschool is really awesome, with so many toys and activities, even monthly field trips. And it better be awesome, for the price. :)

Oh, and I colored my hair. Darker, for the fall and winter. So exciting, I know.

It's been a while..

This thing has become sort of like twitter for me... I'm not sure why I even try. There is no one to read it, nd really nothing I do could possibly be of any interest for anyone out there, so what's the point? The point, I suppose, is for my own benefit. Looking back and remembering...

Right now I am so frustrated. Our life is at a complete standstill, and there's nothing we can do but keep looking for work for Dan. And keep praying. If anyone happens to read this, please, pray pray pray.

Today was pretty good. Dan let me sleep in (woohoo) and I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Then got ready and went to see The Astronaut's Wife with Dewann and Hannah and Hannah's friend. It was very well done, Rachel McAdams is amazing, but I cried nontheless. It's heartbreaking. Beautiful and heartbreaking. Then came home, drank some wine, grilled burgers and watched the rest of the 3rd season of How I Met Your Mother. Love love LOVE that show!!

Thrilling, I know. I think I'll go lay in bed and read now.

Goodnight, neverland.
