• maybe catching a nap today
• enjoying my cup of coffee while catching an episode of little house on the prairie
  
• beulah's second puppy class tonight. i am not totally sure if you can 'win' a puppy class, but we're going to try our darndest.
  
• connollys coming home in 2 dayyyys.
• the fact that beulah has started chasing/eating/killing horseflies as i type this.
  
• new girls coming (could not be more excited about this)
• the month of august (birthdays, radiohead, etc.)
  
• my parents coming in september
• fall in seattle
• a puyallup family thanksgiving (imagine how awesome our dinner will be)
• looking for plane tickets home to south carolina after being away for 9 months.
• sitting in an overly-christmas-decorated-room with my whole family, including jake.
• but most of all, right now i am looking forward to life returning to the crazytown we all know and love. i am looking forward to needing to escape to one of our upstairs hideaways. this house is tooo empty.

i am all kinds of thankful for life right now.
