{through my lens}: Ten on Tuesday

1.) I feel like whining-consider yourself warned!

2.) Summer is over :( Went to my room to start working today and ended up coming home three times b/c I just couldn't stand being there. Not b/c I don't like my job, but b/c it's such a darn mess I don't know where to start!

3.) While walking tonight I had to re-route twice b/c of dogs. There are no words strong enough to describe how much I hate it when barking dogs chase me.

4.) I've traveled a lot this summer (Black Hills, Wisconsin Dells, Texas, Boston). It's good to be home for awhile. I enjoyed all of my adventures immensely, but there's just something about my own bed that I sure miss while I'm gone.

5.) My grandma died while I was in Boston. I missed the visitation and funeral. I'm very sad, but also very happy for her that she is no longer feeling any pain. I now know that funerals are not only to honor someone's life, but to provide some closure for their family and friends. I'm having a hard time finding that :( Please pray for my grandpa. He's a strong guy so I know he will be ok, but man-they were so in love!

I guess that link doesn't take you to it. Go to obituaries-Bernice Winter.

6.) Deployment started for the Reitsma's this week :( Please keep them in your prayers.

7.) Dunkin' Donuts coffee is the.best.ever. I knew this before, but Beantown confirmed it for me. Expect to hear more about this in the future :) My new passion in life is to figure out how they made my coffee every morning-anyone know how to steam milk? Or know of a coffee pot that has that option?

8.) I have the coolest Christmas Card templates this year. I'm excited to get started on them in the coming weeks. Bring on fall!

9.) Are you bored with no pics? Have I ever posted this much text with no photo?

10.) I can't stop watching this. I'm not even kidding when I say I've watched it at least 50 times over the past couple of weeks. Thanks to my sister for sharing!
