August in Vermont

I can't believe it's August. I love my birthday, but I'm always a little bit sad though. Because it's at the end of July, whenever it's my birthday it means that summer is headed into the last month.

It's been raining a lot in Vermont, but I like that way too. It's not too warm, and when the sun is shining everything is green and beautiful.

Hutchie's service was really nice on Saturday, Dad said he thought there were about 500 people there. I hope everyone there felt as much as I did the desire to be a better, nicer, kinder person because Hutchie was. I also hope we can all remember to share the stories and tell people we love them before they're gone. I feel like this is a chance for me to reconnect with people who used to be very dear friends, and I'm glad to have them in my life again.

I'll be home on Tuesday, and on Friday we fly to Georgia, where there will be a new baby Maddie to see!
