First Week of School

Well the little Buddha has started 1st grade and she loves it! She is thrilled at the fact she has her very own desk so, in her words, "No one will move my stuff!" She has done well with going to bed and waking up. Me on the other hand...ugh! I feel as though I have been hit by a bus, and I have only had a short week!! It is good to be in the swing of things again. Kids seem OK so far. Dance classes resume mid-September and try-outs for the Nutcracker should be soon! Ballet, ballet, ballet!! So here is to a good school year full of fun, dance, homework, dance, grading term papers (right now I have 98 juniors and 26 sophomores!), uniforms, dance, several beers, and dance!

WHAT A SUMMER!

I know it has been a while since we have had an update, but we haven't been home that much!! The summer started off (first week out) with a trip to the water park and we haven't really stopped since! We traveled down to Arkansas to see Grammy and on the way back we went to see Elvis at Graceland (gaudy) and then drove through Nashville for a little walk around. We had everyone over for a great 4th of July! The kids swam until they were purple, we ate till we almost puked, drank till some of us left bottles of beer in the freezer until they blew up, and saw the best fire work show in our own front yard! We took the kids to Great America and stayed the night in a hotel and went shopping the next day at that big mall out there. We then traveled to Florida with Rhonda and Annie the dog...LONG 20HOURS!!! Had a blast at my dad's- in ground pool, shopping, more swimming, Universal Studios, more swimming! In-between all of the traveling there were numerous sleep overs, cook outs, swimming in the pool, visiting with Bobby & Laura and the kids, karaoke bars, hanging out at the campground with Rosie, Yahtzee and Jeopardy tournaments, lunching with friends, AND SLEEPING IN!!! I am tired but I can honestly say I was never bored this summer and because I was not coaching this summer, I was able to have so much fun with my family and friends. I was also able to get a lot of school stuff done so I am ready to get started! Jen will put up some photos soon to match the events! So kudos to a fantastic summer!
