Hello and farewell
I know I broke your heart
Oh come on July, will you never let me down
Everything I took I would only give it back
If I could

– Jackopierce, “Come On July”

What was July like around our house? This:

In fact, even before the month started, I was ready for it to end. I tweeted on June 30th, “I’m ready for July to be over.” I was stressed out and exhausted from work. Christy, who was also working in addition to taking some very demanding summer classes, was just as worn out. And I knew July would just be a continuation of that.

What I didn’t know is that it would also include me tearing my ACL jumping a 4-foot wrought iron fence, an injury that condemned me to the couch for 9 days and put that much more responsibility on Christy’s shoulders.

So even though I’m still on crutches, I’m incredibly thankful that August is finally here. I mean, it can only get better, right?
