August in Review...

Well I think it is safe to say that with me working you can expect monthly updates. We actually had a pretty busy August, alot of working but some fun time with family also. So the first weekend of August we were busy all that day with church obligations. Later that night we were scheduled to have a group of friends over for Game Night at 6:00. Needless to say i had a small mountain of dishes to do when we got home around 4:30. So as I dragged my tired body into the house, I quickly realized that the dishes were done!!! And only two people have keys to our house Katie and Emily. We had been "Maid Burglarized", by Katie and Jesse. They are just the greatess! (Sadly our good friend Emily did the same thing later in the month when they stopped by to borrow the lawn mower.) Which one would think that i never do the dishes anymore. But they both happened to catch my house on an off couple of days!!!!

The weekend of the 8th my school had a Meet and Greet to welcome students and parents. Michael ended up BBQing about 400 burgers!!! He is such a good sport.

The next weekend we and the Parks ventured down to a cafe in downtown San Antonio called Lu Lu's. We had heard about it from a co-worker, they are famous for their very large and good chicken fried steaks and 3 pound cinnamon rolls. We did not realize that the restaurant had just been visited and aired on the Food network's show Man vs Food show!!!! So the wait was super long, luckily it was well worth it!!! So if you find yourself in San Antonio hungry for chicken fried steak, go to Lu Lu's.

The following weekend we went to Waco to visit my parents. The boys had a boys day. Michael and Jesse helped my dad mow and weed their couple of acres. Then they hooked up the fishing boat and headed to Mexia Lake. They had a little excitement with boat kinda coming loose on the way there and then the motor starting giving them some trouble on their way back to the dock! Later they rounded out the man day by shooting some bow and arrows and pistols. We were so warn out watching that we decided that dinner a Chilli's sounded great!!!

Needless to say that this weekend we have done nothing. We had a relaxing morning around the house on Saturday morning. Went to lunch with Jon and Emily at Longhorn's. They have great burgers. Then i went a long shopping trip looking to add a specific type of color and design of a blouse for work. After 3 hours at the mall i gave up and went to Wal Mart to buy groceries, which was very successful!

Well that is about it for the month of August. September should be interesting!!

Quick Update on July

Okay so as you may have noticed not a lot of updates last month. In early July, like the Monday after the big July 4 Family Gathering at my house, i had to have an hysterectomy to remove a tumor. So the recovery took a little longer than i thought. I could not walk up the stairs for 2 weeks. I also spent most of the 2 weeks in bed trying to be very still. And then my dad had a pacemaker put in during the 3rd week of my recovery, so i went to Waco to be with him while he recovered. That was great, a mini vacation for both of us. My dad loves to watch the outdoor channel. You know the one with hours and hours of deer hunting, turkey hunting, fishing, gold mining, etc. So i told him that was fine while he was in the hospital but once he was out we were going to find something where people actually talked more than 4 sentences in one hour!!! So we spent four great days watching old movies on the TCM channel. And other dvd's that i had not seen yet. So then the last week of July I started work at the school. Of course our building had no desk, so we have kinda sat around a temp office, looking for anything to do. But Friday we were able to move into the new high school. How fun. Oh, some may be wondering what i am doing. I am the new Registrar and Counselor Sec of the New, Judson Early Collage Academy! Very exciting!!!! That is all July went by fast, considering all the laying around i did!!!!!
