August

Where on earth has August gone? And why have I not blogged ONCE. This may be an all time record for me since becoming a blogger in 2005. I don't mean to be neglectful, I promise. But life has taken such a turn for the busy!!

 

Things are happening at such a rapid pace that all I have time for is to hit "share" on my cell phone and post to facebook.

 

Here is a rundown of our August via FB photos so I apologize once again for the bad quality!

 

We finished up bedrooms in the house in time for Billy's family to come in for a weekend. Keishun's bedroom doubles as the guest room.

 

The girls also have to give up a bed! This room and closet took me almost two hours to complete. They have way too much stuff!!

 

But we got it all done in time for family.

I LOVE having a full house.

 

They came in from Houston and Florida to see Isaac's musical debut. He has been working for two months, 4 nights or more a week to perfect this part.

How To Eat Like A Child and other lessons in how to not be a grownup.

 

My parents and a family friend came to opening night.

 

The play made the local newspapers online and in print!

 

 

He has 6 performances total with the last three happening this weekend.

 

In other news...my dear friend Maile had her baby boy!

He is adorable and already very loved...

 

 

Vivi started cheerleading...her first game is in two weeks.

 

And I took Keishun back to school shopping with HIS money!!

 Having a summer job has worked out well for us both!

 

 

 

And finally....I got a job!!!

A very well respected and popular local preschool hired me to teach 5 days a week!

I am so excited. I have spent the past

two weeks getting my room ready.

Just wait until you get to see the before and after pictures. Wow!

 

As an early birthday present and with some housewarming gifts from family...Billy and I went to Ikea with his sister and boyfriend. That night, Billy put together a desk that I have had my eye on since we moved in to our house. 

 

I could not love this more! Both Billy and I can fit on either side together. Plus we can put all of my school supplies, craft supplies, and our financial stuff all in one place. It is fabulous!

 

I might even start blogging more again!

 

Right now it is covered in binders, folders, and files from my class list that I have to organize and prepare. School starts for my family on August 26th and then for me on September 4th.

 

It is fast approaching!!

 

Soon we will say goodbye to another hot Texas summer.
