Lucky 13

Today marked my last summer Friday. It truly has been a gift to be working a 4-day work week. When everyone is off, the work does not pile up while you are out. I’ve been much more efficient with my time and my team crushed it at the end of the quarter. In total, I had 13 total Fridays off, seven of which I would have had to take as vacation. 

Here’s how I spent this gift. 

• Traveling to the USVIs 
• Sailing to Buck Island off the coast of St. Thomas 
• Miami University orientation 
• Ponca State Park 
• Volunteering with T-man at A Precious Child and doing tasks around the house 
• Volunteering at the Ultimate Frisbee tourney  and couple’s golf tourney 
• Volunteering with T-man at A Precious Child and attending a Lumineers concert 
• Hanging out at Lake Couer D’Alene 
• Seeing both of my sisters and their hubbies while in Minnesota 
• Lunch with the boys, shopping with D-man and attending a Rockies game 
• Touring St Louis and hanging at the roof top hotel pool 
• Hiking and paddle boarding outside Fort Collins 
• Running errands, packing for Labor Day in the mountains and a dip in the pool before it closes for the season. 

Going through this list makes me appreciate this extra day even more and a good reminder of all to be thankful for. 

Had the pool all to myself for a bit
