Crazy Summer

This summer went by so quickly!  I still have tons of pictures to go through from our month long trip.  I was trying to keep up as we went, but got overwhelmed by the thousands of pictures and video to sort through.  When Roby and I got back to Nebraska, we both started our new jobs.  The kids stayed with Gma Harris (MeMa) for five weeks and had a blast!  They learned how to swim, hung out with lots of family, and had tons of stories when they got home.  Roby went to Texas for five weeks for training.  From the time he left and the time that the kids got home overlapped by almost three weeks.  This was literally the first time in my life I have lived alone for more than one night.  It was weird.  I had lots of time, and did not use it wisely!  :-)  I read lots and watched random shows I wouldn't have watched otherwise.  

As of now, the kids are in their second week of fourth and sixth grades.  Ethan had his first school dance on Thursday last week.  He said he hung out with friends, but didn't dance.  He is trying out for his school football team today after school and will start bass guitar lessons on Thursday.  Natalie starts Juniors (Girl Scouts) on Wednesday and dance in another couple weeks.  

I went to my bachelorhood degree completion orientation on Thursday and Friday last week.  Classes start today.  Most people doing this take classes part time because they are all online and most people are working full time as well.  I'm now only working two to three days a week, so I'll be taking four classes this semester.  Hopefully I can handle it all.  We'll see!  I'm going to try to finish this degree in four semesters instead of six to eight.  Again, we'll see...

For the most part, that's about it.  I still want to go through pictures and finish posting for our summer trip and other things since then...but life has been busy.
