Exceptionally Random

This is an exceptionally random post, however I have a good excuse. For all of my readership who is not also my facebook friend, I started student teaching this week. I also started the week off behind in my homework and carrying a good sized sleep debt. Needless to say, I have not had a lot of time for taking pictures or blogging the ones I had. This should have been several smaller, far cleverer posts, however I decided to group what I had together and just give it to you all as is.

Nebraska mid-summer sky. It does not get a whole lot more beautiful than this.

When we went down to the Rebelution Conference, we were able to meet up with our dear Uncle Ben and meet his lovely wife Stephanie. Getting to see you guys again was one of the major highlights, let's not let it be so long before we see you next. Oh, and we decided we liked Sarah so much we adopted her. Miss you tons, Sarah dear!

The Bens. I think Benjamin has officially out-grown Uncle Ben...

A great sadness happened. Our beloved mulberry tree died. Actually, it was in process of dying so Dad had to cut it down. I told him it was just like tree murder but... :)

They trimmed the branches off so they could get to the firewood. There is only one thing to do with all those branches...

Make a bonfire and eat smores!!! After years of faithfully producing mulberries to stain little mouths, feet and clothes, the tree will now keep us warm this winter. Yes, I feel a little like Shel Silverstein after typing that...

And finally, a girls night out the way they were meant to be. Ice cream, giggling incessantly about everything ('squeak squeaking', Hillary) with 3 of my favorite girls in the world. Love you guys!!

Well, there you have it. An exceptionally random post. Hopefully this week I will be a little more organized and able to blog more. Thanks for reading!
