signs of summer

We're really enjoying the first few weeks of June. And though summer doesn't officially start for another week or so, I am seeing signs summer is indeed upon us.

• Most of the students have left town so the streets are quieter (normally they are just quiet unless it's 7:45 a.m. or 4:30 p.m.)
• Work is kicking my butt. This is truly one of the only negatives about my job....summer is the prime time for events so June, July and August are nuts
• Noisy lawnmowers and weed-eaters ring throughout the neighborhood at 8 a.m. (seriously people!)
• Ben's a little less hairy (bye bye beard until September)

We start a whole new routine tomorrow in conjunction with Ben's job. It'll be very strange to get up AFTER Ben for the first time in a few years. I don't think this will make getting out of bed any easier...we'll see!
