November
November? Is that really right, is it November already? I can still remember dating my checks for August, where has the past 3 months gone? Summer is long gone, the first day of school is a blur, and we’ll be wrapping up our high school football this month. That only means one thing. I should be thinking of Christmas, but I’m not. I’m trying to take one day at a time. I always have good intentions of staying on track and jumping each hurdle as it presents itself. I need to get rid of a few hurdles; I seem to be jumping an awful lot.

As I look around my scrapbook room, I seem to present myself with a lot of those hurdles. I have way too many projects started and not enough completed. This month I dedicated myself to completing some layouts from a vacation 3 years ago. This album is one of my husband’s favorite because it is his hunting vacation that the whole family goes on. When I’m working on this album, he doesn’t mind if supper is a little late. Well … better get back to scrapbooking. After this vacation is completed, I still have another year to begin.

Happy Hurdling,
Julie
