The best vacation relaxation!

I have had a wonderful chance to catch up on some reading while we've been here in Birmingham.
I borrowed the final book of a trilogy from my mother-in-law (thanks Nancy!) and devoured it. It was "The Brethren" by Beverly Lewis. It is the third book in the Annie's People series. I really enjoy Beverly Lewis' books--I feel like I can actually see the beautiful countryside in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. I don't agree with the Old Order Amish beliefs, but I love the simplicity of life there. We could all stand a bit more simplicity!

I picked up a new book at Lifeway today too. Organizing for life by Sandra Felton. I've been able to skim part of it, but other parts have really motivated me to go home tomorrow and work on my house. Sandra founded a group called Messies Anonymous. I'm not as bad as most of the people that she describes, but I can sure use the motivation to do better. I need to really work on organizing and simplifying right now. Going into nursing school, the last thing I need to be worried about is house cleaning. If I can scale things down, maybe I can reduce a potential stress this fall.

As I mentioned--we're going home tomorrow! I've enjoyed our vacation, but it is time to go home.
Friday, I have CPR certification. So I'm jumping right back into life...that's okay. I'm ready.

Hope to keep posting regularly. I'll try to keep you informed about my house cleaning/organizing project.

Enjoy the rest of your summer!
