It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Fall!

This summer went by waaaaay too quickly.  I can’t believe it is already September.

I can feel the temperature changing.  I already found myself purchasing fall mums and new pansies for the flower bed.  I LOVE FALL!!!

Fall is the beginning of the holiday season and it takes my breath away and sweeps me off my feet every single year.

 A quick update for me:

 I officially started Practicum this fall!  This means that I am counseling real, live families. I can’t believe it.

 I moved back to a city closer to my family.  I live in a cute little house and can't wait to update Le Renee on my house decor and holiday decor!

Lots more to follow and lots more postings ahead!

Cheers!  xoxox

Dr. Miranda Bailey may not be able to help me with this one!  I am about to head to class where I will obtain my first exposure to sex therapy in couples therapy. 

I don’t get to use the word va-jay-jay.  I have to be a grown up and use grown up words. 

Aside from Shawn drawing penises on the shower door so that after a hot steamy bath I see…well penises on the door.  And other than me retaliating by playing our version of the penis/vagina game by crossing out his drawings and writing “VAGINA” in all caps on the mirror…

Well, I just don’t think I have said the words penis or vagina…out loud…to another human being…seriously.

Tonight I have to be a grown up.   In order to learn how to be an effective counselor and help people in the real world, I have to say two simple words-and I can’t giggle.

Penis.

Vagina.
