Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Have to agree with Amanda on enjoying the quiet of the morning. Watched the sunrise and spent some time texting with her already today. Bonus of the time differential, I get to do both. The calendar has shifted to September. I know it's not the new year, or the beginning of a season, however September has always brought me a sense of renewal. I don't know if it is the drift into fall or the fact that I have followed school routines for the vast majority of my life. What did we do this week? Amanda completed her first week of classes and first duty night. She is finally getting to a class that focuses...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is shining through the trees highlighting the grass that is a happier, brighter shade of green from the gift of rain it received. The storm on Friday was absolutely wonderful and broke the overwhelming heat that was here early in the week. The last few nights have been cooler which always makes sleep better. Instead of allowing me to keep that wonderful sleep my brain decided to throw me a bad dream that has me knocked off my rails this morning. What did we do this week? Serra started out rocky with not wanting to stay home on Monday. Her body had other ideas and still needed to work out the cold that...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I know that it is mid-August, and it is supposed to be sweltering. Have to admit I am loving the cool mornings. The forecast says temperatures will be in the nineties all week and I am not looking forward to it. Hopefully it will be the last of the super-hot days and we will slide softly into fall. What did we do this week? It was a big one as Amanda began RA training on campus. She already loves her new assistant dean this year as he truly listens to concerns and issues rather than blowing them off like the one she had last year. Training has also been more organized making for shorter days...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Somehow this morning, August is not roasting me yet. The cool breeze kept me in bed longer than usual and I am enjoying it coming through the front windows. I rather like the taste of fall and hope it continues this week. What did we do this week? It was a whirlwind. High school check in, packing, shipping, passport renewal, laundry, packing some more, and a trip to the airport. Amanda flew back to campus yesterday to move in and begin RA training tomorrow. Classes for Serra begin this week and we have our fingers crossed that switching out of AP Bio and into AP Chem will be an easy swap. Makes me glad that...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I am enjoying the unexpectedly cool breeze flowing in through the front window. Weather has been odd to say the least this summer. Normally August is blazing hot and dry, not so this time around. We haven't had the afternoon rainstorms since I was in college, and I am not going to share how long ago that was! What did we do this week? With a short three weeks at home for Amanda, we have been powering through the to-do list. School prep, insurance changes, passport renewals, college essay writing, deadline checking . . . the list goes on. The good thing? The list is almost completely crossed out! Only a few items remain to...
