For the past two weeks, I haven't sprung out of bed every morning. I've just lied there lost in all of the places I've never been to and all of the experience waiting for me. I hate to admit it, but its the truth, lately, I've been a shameless daydreamer. Yesterday, in the middle of a great place in the book I'm reading the author made a slight reference to a Greek god, and I spent the next forty minutes on a night boat to Crete. Since my return from Europe, my head has been in the clouds.
I wish I could explain it but, the entire trip was beyond words. Six weeks filled with; the perfect people, incredible places, once in a lifetime experiences and so much to discover. Salisbury, London, Paris, Chartes, Versailles, Bacharach, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Munich, Dublin, Howth-what I wouldn't give to go back.
But it's also been nice to be home. I went up with my family for a great Forth of July on the lake complete with plenty of time on the beach, in the boat, tubing, smores and fireworks. Perfect.
Also, Ive been working on a few epic projects:
1.
I have this insane idea that if I can live for 2 months out of one backpack, then 2 suitcases for 4 months should be no big deal. I dont think Ive ever really realized how much stuff I have. Its wrong for me to complain that I have too much, but honestly, its heartbreaking having to give away so many things that I have emotional attachment too. But, it must be done-Im taking 2 suitcases to Florida.
2.
Im such an awful person, until now I hadn't even printed any of my pictures from Italy and Greece last summer. So Im working on another impossible project; taking all 4000 pictures (this summer and lasts,) picking my top 250 and scrapbooking them all before I leave. This is no small undertaking my friends.
3.
Trying to see everyone Ive ever known and loved in Michigan.
4.
Obviously alot of Disney research and daydreaming about my first few days there. I cant wait! And I half expect that I will actually explode when I get there. I've heard that 6 months of anticipation will do that to you.
