The Best Thing I Learned This Summer. What a question! When I first heard it, my initial response was that this summer I learned that I eat too much, drink too much (at least that is what my waistline is telling me), and buying and selling a house is very stressful! I think I have learned all of those things, but I have also learned some better things this summer too. Here are three things I learned this summer...
First, I really love Michigan! Sometimes in winter, I am really not sure why I live where I do, but then summer hits. This summer, my family took a vacation to the Traverse City area where we rented a cottage on the water. It was amazing! It was so relaxing with lots of time for some family bonding! Here is a picture of the view from Sleeping Bear Dunes:
The second thing I learned this summer was how to use Periscope! What a fun, new social media app that is available on both Apple and Android phones. It is a live streaming app that is owned by Twitter. I have only done two videos so far, but I have been watching a ton of them, and they are so fun! You can really learn a little bit more about your favorite SLP bloggers, celebrities, and companies.
The last thing I learned is truly that buying and selling a home is a huge job, and very stressful. At the end of the school year, we decided to sell our home that we have been in for 12 years. We have outgrown it a bit, and wanted a change. So, the last two months have been a whirlwind, and now, I am moving on Saturday!!! We are all excited for the new changes to come.
Hope you are enjoying your summer, and are learning a thing or two also. Share something that you have learned this summer in the comments- I would love to hear about them!
I have a sister who used to live in Mi., and her youngest still lives there. I hear the U.P. is gorgeous...we hope to get up there some day (and camp, of course!).
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your move!!! :)
Te U.P. is gorgeous, you should definitely make a trip up there! Thanks for the good luck wishes on my move- I need them!
DeleteManda and I went to undergrad at Valparaiso in IN and we were also near the Dunes. So amazingly beautiful on Lake Michigan! We love Periscope too- it's such a fun new social media outlet. I've enjoyed "seeing" all the wonderful SLPs! Thank you for your post Jen-it was inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI have really enjoyed seeing everyone on Periscope too!
DeleteSounds like a great summer!
ReplyDeleteAll Y’all Need
It has been a crazy, fun summer!
DeleteLots of luck on the new house! Love the Great Lakes!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteGood luck with the move. I have only moved three times! Once it was from the first floor to the second floor of a two-family house! We have been in this house for 19 years.
ReplyDeleteNow for Periscope, I have enjoyed watching the scopes, but have never had an opportunity to catch one live and I just don't know if I will ever post one myself!
Buying, selling and moving are just plain stressful! Good luck!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a BUSY SUMMER!! Selling and moving is so stressful, but change is good!
ReplyDeleteI think the same thing about MN sometimes too! But I love the exhilaration of Spring and Summer.
