Awkward.....

This is really funny. We had a big "wedding planning meeting" today and tomorrow we are taking the church youth group to Mississippi Baptist Youth Night. Since we needed a sitter for both, Danny's parents offerend to take Connor and Anna for a couple of days. We have been "kid-free" since Wed lunch and right now we act lost. I actually was able to clean the house and it is STILL clean. I even finished a conversation on the phone without any interruption. And my laundry is done. And I got to do Farmtown without other hands wanting to "help". I didn't know thouse things could happen.

Don't get me wrong- I love my time with Danny, but I didn't realize how slow life is without young children around...... So now we are not sure what to do -- well, mostly :)

We're Comp FREE!!!

I am thrilled that I have finished my comps for the master's program!!! My very patient husband has put up with several weeks of the kids while I focused on classes. I get to graduate August 8- YIPPEE!!

Connor and Anna have had a relaxing summer so far. Connor had a super time at CRS(highly recommended) and Anna has taken over our home with countless tea parties and other social events with Tigger, Snow White, and Elmo. Who knew they were all so close :) ?

I finished grad school just in time to help with our church's Vacation Bible School. We are a small church, but had about 30 workers and 45 kids each night. It was really cool to see so many adults (expecially dads) helping with VBS. I had the 1st and 2ns graders and this was a reminder why I prefer teaching high schoolers!- Lots of energy!

Now I have about 6 weeks before I have to go back to school. Meridian PSD had opted to start much later than normal (aug 24) but we teach until June 15. For now I like the plan (ask me again in June!). It is nice to enjoy a little of summer.
