Update WAY past due :)

Wow, so much has happened since I last blogged but most of you already know because of Facebook :) I got a new car on July 31st because mine would have cost WAY too much to repair. I love my new car but at times I miss my old one. I FINALLY got an interview with the school and less than 2 hours later they called and offered me the job. I am officially the new K-5 music teacher for Athena/Weston! I have been teaching since August 27. I LOVE IT!! For those of you that know me, know that in college I swore I would NOT teach any grade lower than 7th...boy, I guess we don't always get what we want. I didn't want to deal with the little kids and didn't think I would like it at all. Total opposite...they are GREAT!! They are like sponges and they are so eager to learn! I get to plan my first Christmas concert it is on December 14th @ 7:00pm at the Athena High School gym. So if you have the time come watch :)

Kris is still working at Home Depot and loving it. He applied for a different position that would have moved his shift from 1-10 to 7-4 but they decided not to fill it because hours would get cut and he would be one of the people to have their hours cut. He just started getting full-time hours in September and is still getting them. There is an officer position open here in Weston again and he wants to apply for it. I do not know if he is going to or if he has. He told me they want someone with 5 years experience and he has none. Although he does enjoy working at Home Depot he really wants to work in law enforcement.

The boys started school on August 27th and they are enjoying it so far. They are both currently playing football and when that is over they want to play hockey. Thankfully, it is at the same time as basketball and I really don't want them to play basketball this year. Kristopher turned 12 on September 24th! Time is flying by! We had his birthday party at the Walla Walla bike track, and the kids had a BLAST! Kamryn will be 10 in December and sadly his birthday falls during Christmas break so we will be sending out invites before school lets out. He doesn't know yet what he wants to do.

My sister had Charlie Elizabeth on 8/10/10. Such a precious girl! She also got a job recently and is very excited but exhausted at the same time. Other than those updates, I don't have any other news. I will hopefully be blogging more now that I have stuff going on in my life.

Until next time.....
