I heard on the radio this morning that August 5 is Blogger Day. Is it just a coincidence that I heard that and felt the need to write a blog post? I'll never know! This one will be short and sweet.
First of all...how are we already eight months into the year? I don't know where the time has gone. The older I get, the faster it goes. In just a few months, Matt and I will both celebrate our 50th birthdays. And somehow, all three of our kids will officially be in their 20's which is hard to believe.
The reason I started this blog in 2007 was to create a living journal for our kids and, hopefully, future generations of Deaton's. I wanted to blog about moments, milestones, and memories that are easy to forget. My hope is that one day they'll enjoy looking back to see what life was like, what was happening in our family, and learn a little more about who we were along the way.
For the sake of posterity, here are a few highlights from last week:
Monday: My friend Jennie and I skipped our evening neighborhood walk and went to the pool instead. Sometimes you just need to cool off in this heat!
Tuesday: I went with Matt to the softball team's end-of-season banquet. It was a special evening celebrating a team that made history at South Warren by going 45-0 and winning the state championship.
Wednesday: Matt went with Isaac and McKayla to see The Odyssey at the IMAX in Hendersonville.
Thursday: Our SKYPAC group enjoyed a fun post-work gathering at Hickory & Oak, followed by SINGO at White Squirrel.
Saturday: We spent the day at the lake with friends and wrapped up the evening with a shrimp boil.
Sunday: I caught up on laundry and grocery shopping, did some meal planning and prep for the week, and headed to the mall to help Miles find work pants while Matt looked for a few new suits and dress pants. We (and by "we" I mean Miles but it's a team effort) are watching our adoptive pooch Oreo this week.
Nothing earth-shattering. Just another week filled with family, friends, and work. We all know the drill. I'm perfectly okay with ordinary. It just seems like time flies a little faster every year.
HAPPY BLOG DAY!
