3 Days Down...

...177 to go! Okay, so I'm not really counting down the days yet! School started this week and I've had three days so far with my new kiddos. After the last two years of screamers and scratchers, I'm so happy that I have a "normal" class so far this year. Of course, only having 22 kids (I had one move to Tennessee) really helps too! These kids can already to so much more than my last group so I'm really looking forward to all that we can accomplish this year! And they are all just so gosh darn cute! Anyway, I'm sure this will all change the day that I get a new student, but for now I'm enjoying not being drained at the end of the day. Now I have a long weekend to catch up on sleep and take in some football! Go cougs!

Lazy Days of Summer

Hi all, I noticed I haven't posted at all in August so I guess it's time for an update. I've been spending my time at home cleaning out closets and our spare bedroom. Skip went scuba diving last weekend up in Puget Sound, which he was anxious to do since he got his cast removed last month. Of course I've been staying up way too late watching the Olympics! I haven't really gotten into the Olympics since I was a kid, but I enjoyed watching swimming and gymnastics this time around!

I'm most excited about our possibility of being homeowners in the near future! We are STILL renting and I'm so ready to get a place of our own! We've met with a real estate agent and are meeting with a lender this weekend to get the ball rolling! Skip and I went to an open house at a new construction site and it was really fun just to go look through houses!! It makes me anxious to think about all of the responsibility that comes with having a house, but it would be worth it! So we'll be sure to keep you updated on how things are going :)

It's back to work for me this Friday, with the kids starting next Wednesday. I can't believe summer vacation is almost over :( But I'm excited to meet my little kiddos, which is one of my favorite parts of the year! As of now I only have 23 students, but I usually end up with at least a few more when the year begins. It's still better than the 27 I started with last year.
