campfire anthems

hello my friends.  the year is half over and so much has already occurred.  i bought a house, i got my dream guitar, i saw the foo fighters live, i celebrated 2 years of marriage, i’ve made some great new friends and i’ve been through 4 different states for business trips.  looking ahead throughout july i’ve noticed that my calendar doesn’t get any slower.  in fact, i may be busier now than ever.  so here’s the run down.  tomorrow night i’m going to see sister hazel in st. pete.  friday is the 4th of july, which means eating some kind of dead animal cooked over an open flame.  next week will be insane in the office since i’ll be leaving on the 13th to go to new mexico.  my company is selling an entire city, and i still haven’t figured out how it is going to work.  i’ll be gone for a whole week.  when i get back i get to play catch up at the office and at home.  then, at the end of the month, we are having some out of town company for a few days.

what i have realized is that i need a vacation.  i never knew just how precious this time was and how important it is.  i’m really stressed at work, not because of work load or anything, just because the real estate market in general is down.  i think we are going to spend a week at a cabin in georgia, for the 3rd week in september.  it couldn’t come soon enough.

i’m pretty sure july is going to fly by.  i hope it does.
