First Blog

Friends and Family... I decided I'd jump on the bandwagon and try to figure out this whole blog thing. So I hope this works. I figure this is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family who don't live near us! Plus... it will give me something to do in the evenings when Stephen is at work till the weee hours of the morning. :) We're enjoying the cooler weather we've been having this past week. Especially since our swamp cooler in our apartment went out. If it had to die...now was the perfect time and not when we had 100+ degree weather in July. It was great to have a short week with the holiday on Monday. We enjoyed the long weekend. It was a wonderful surprise to find out that Stephen didn't have to work. I loved being able to spend the day with him around. We spent most of the weekend with the Dent family up at the Cabin. It was so nice to get away up to the mountains and spend some time relaxing and laughing. All the adults brought up their high school year books which were hours of entertainment. I probably haven't looked through mine since high school. But we had a great time looking for mullets, finding girls with big poofy hair and reading the sappy love notes previous boy/girl friends had written. Lets just say we learned lots about each other!!! Oh those were the days...I'm glad to say I never have to repeat again. :) Stephen's been enjoying flying lately and has been working on getting his private pilot's license. He's already got 20 hours of flying time and is almost half way there. He's pretty disappointed though, because all the planes are being serviced and he hasn't been flying in 2 weeks. He looks forward to it and it gives him something to work towards when he has his days off. School & Scouts seem to be my life lately and is keeping me pretty busy. I have quite an interesting little group of kids this year. With only being in school 2 1/2 weeks... I have one little girl who reminds me of Dori (off of Finding Nemo) she's just not quite all the way there (but then I guess I teach Special Ed), another boy who has left our school campus everyday at lunch time this week and it took us over an hour to find him on Friday. We almost had to have the police involved! Then I have another little boy who my aide and I had to chase for almost 15 minutes around the school because he got in a fight. We finally caught him out back by the dumpsters. Ahhhh the joys of my job!
