Basically, our summer has been spent mostly working. We've had a couple of nice vacations visiting family, but otherwise our summer has been very lazy, chill, and relaxing. Looking back, I could have been more productive, as in I had plenty of opportunities to update the blog/do crafts/read books/exercise/etc, but it just feels so good to lay in bed all day when you have no obligations! It's almost like I know I won't be able to do nothing when the semester starts, or when I start having kids, so I'm enjoying it while it's here. Now that I've had my fill of nothingness, I'm ready to get things done. And so now, a blog!
Here is list of the happenings in the Rougeau home by month. Over the next week or so, I'll go more into detail on these things in about a post a day.

Thanks for the brief update! It was really nice to get an overview of your life over the past 9 months. I never heard about the C in parasitology. Congratulations! I'm sure I would have failed it :) But I guess you can't graduate now... because the saying goes "C's get degrees", and you only have 1, so there you go. Sorry, Nat.
ReplyDeletelol. Love you, sister! Can't wait for more details!
I am still waiting for the post-a-day....... But seriously, I know that is an impossible promise to keep. Thanks for the run-down of your year. You really have accomplished many things this year! I have been happy to be involved in many of the "high points" of the year. You are loved!
