Settling dust...

I am home tonight, having just returned from a lovely summer bikeride to the bookstore near my house. I have nearly forgotten the simple pleasures like this that I love about summertime, and this week I'm fortunate to be able to embrace them. I have a slow two weeks on tap after a bunch of travel (both for work and for fun), and after last weekend's championship victory, my soccer schedule has scaled back from 5 games per week to 3. I finally feel like I am settling into my new job, so a collective sense of calm is finally returning.

In the midst of the chaos that headlined the past few weeks, I have neglected my blog more than ever before. Please forgive me! I promise to bring everyone up to speed on a plethora of topics, including the MS60 that my wingman and I participated in (with amazing support of friends and family resulting in more than $700 raised for the MS Society), the amazing garden that has sprouted from my seedlings, and the multitude of trips I have been on over the past several weeks (spanning Vegas, NYC, Iowa, and Florida).

For tonight, however, I'm heading to my porch with a yummy glass of wine and one of my five new books. Who could ask for a better evening?
