POST 400!

So...its been so long I couldn't remember my password. Time will do that to an old brain. And speaking of time, I cannot believe how fast it has flown by. Here is a post I wrote on the night before school started this past year:

"Tonight is my last official night of summer- and I am cranky. Its so sad and hard to believe its over! But, it was a very good summer- my first "off" since before being eligible to legally work! I have established a routine that hopefully I can keep- staying on a routine sleep schedule (and no headaches since my ER migraine!), exercising, reading the Bible, etc. Of course, there are things I didn't get to or things I didn't do enough of."

And, now, as of last week, another year of school has ended! And on this 400th post, of a blog in which I rarely have time to catch up,nor remember the password to, I will review what has been new in the past month and a half, and once I figure out my goals for THIS summer, I will post those too. (Im trying not to follow any illusions about having tons of time to get everything done like last summer, plus, we are still unpacking boxes from our move, but its still good to have a guideline!).

In May, we officially exited our old house on the 1st and began to inhabit our current home, which we love. We also love the location, as it is .4 miles around the block from Bryan's shop, and 1.5 miles from my school. We save on time and gas. Life is good!

Bryan is slowly (and sometimes all at once) picking up business at his shop. We hope to get off unemployment one day, and they (Bryan and Andy) are doing good with paying off start-up costs and building a nice savings off the profits they are making.

Speaking of Bryan, he had a birthday (number 27) in which we celebrated with a dinner at Red Robin. We also celebrated Mother's Day with a game night at our house! Then the Heinrichs family also celebrated Ben's birthday in Seattle and Brad's in Sherwood.

The rest of May was pretty much unpacking when I could and wrapping up the year at school. I also rejoined the hospitality team at church, so I will be volunteering a lot more there now too. And I also volunteered one night at my very first "McTeacher Night" for our school.

We were gifted with an option to travel this summer, so Bryan and I decided to travel to the East Coast (quickly-only about 5 or 6 days) to see NYC, Philly, D.C., the coast, and ???. We are excited but I still need to nail down the details.

With moving and work, my weight loss successes have been minimal. I began attending Weight Watchers meetings again, and trying to excercise more. But there is that whole time thing!

Right now we are in the middle of the Rose Festival which happens every June, so last week we went to the Starlight Parade and this week we drove downtown to see the carnival rides!

Next month, I start working my summer temp job at a real estate office. I also have Jury Duty in August, and back to 3rd grade for my 5th year of teaching at LCS in September! (unless God has other plans??)

Ill be back later with my list of goals for these few short weeks of summer! :-0
