Summer Slump? I Wish....

Ok so I know that I have been terrible about posting in the last few... ummm... months.  I'm sorry! It has been absolute chaos! So I'm giving you a little update! I will be posting a recipe or two before I leave on vacation next week (I hope).

First... My grandpa... he's doing great, thank goodness! We had a rough going at first (he couldn't receive chemo due to blood pressure problems), but everything was finally regulated and he is now on a set chemo schedule for a couple months. He is feeling great, has regained his appetite, and is back to being my "viejo". (See previous posts for background info on all this)

Second - I'm a teacher, so there's no possible way I could be so busy at the beginning of summer, right??? WRONG! :/ The end of the school year was absolutely insane! It was nonstop craziness for over a month.  And then, so much for a summer vacation! I decided I would sign up for a three day teaching workshop on my first three days of vaycay (Yes, I'm a masochist!).  So I had a quick little two days off that week, and then the following Monday I began at my annual creative writing enrichment program (more on that in my next entry).  That was last Monday, and I have until this Friday. :)
This weekend is Fourth of July weekend, so we will be at the beach with family, and next week we leave on a 10-day European vacation!  I am ecstatic about going to Spain and Italy and all these fabulous places, but I think I overbooked myself at the beginning of my summer...

But I'm not complaining, because everything has been really fun so far, and because I am blessed to have a job, and great co-workers, and the luxury of going on an incredible trip with my amazing husband!

Thanks for staying true and continuing to follow, even though I've been a terrible blogger! :(
I'll leave you with a couple photos of recent events!

Hubby & I at a Gala. We clean up nice, huh?

Visiting the Liberty Bell... We were in Philadelphia
