It is hard to believe that Rex is going to be a kindergartner. This feels like a beginning and an end: an end to the carefree and innocent days of preschool and toddler-hood, but a beginning to a life of academia and maturation. I know, I know, he's only going into kindergarten, but I can't help but feel like I blinked and the first five years are gone.
That being said, this was the best summer of my life. Rex and I shared experiences that I'll remember for the rest of my life. I was able to enjoy every day, whether we were hiking on the Grand Mesa or binge watching Netflix. We gained new friendships that will last a lifetime. We tested our strength and endurance, not to mention patience. More than anything else, we had a lot of fun.
