It has been way TOO HOT lately – too hot to even blog! That is my excuse and I’m sticking to it

Last Thursday and Friday Dana came to visit us. We had so much fun – we love visitors! On Thursday we went to the Parent-Teacher store and browsed the Mall at Green Hills. And on Friday we went swimming at the Y. I won’t mention that we also spent about 4 hours cutting out laminated items. Fun times!

On Saturday PawPaw and Nonny came to visit. We had a good time visiting and eating some good hamburgers and cookies.

Will and I have had a great time riding around in our “new” car. It drives well and the air conditioning is cold – what more could a girl ask for! Bill also bought me a new computer this week. And I think I’m in love with it It is so sleek and pretty and it is so fast. Now I just have to transfer all of my files and pictures and get to work!

I also got a (temporary) job! Well, at least I think it is going to work out. I am going to be working 10 hours a week in the student ministry office at church – practically the same job I did before. The one “hurdle” is getting permission to bring Will with me until he starts school on September 1.

Well, that is all I know for now. Hopefully my next post will be more exciting!

My parents left today for an anniversary trip (their 30th)! They flew out of the Nashville airport at 6 am this morning so they came up yesterday afternoon and spent the night. All day I had been telling Will that Honey and Papa were coming to visit him. When the doorbell ring PA started barking her head off and Will started screaming “Papa, Papa, Papa!” What am I going to do with those two?!?! But Will was a little confused when they weren’t here when he woke up this morning

Yesterday I had a very productive day and I am trying to do the same today – so far it’s not going well I keep getting distracted by important things like planning our trip to NYC in October!! Whoo-hoo! We finally get to go back. The three of us and my Mom are going at the end of October and I can’t wait. (For real this time – the plane tickets are booked.) I want to check out a few places in Brooklyn while we’re there and of course see all our friends.

Remember when I said that Will did not prefer electronic toys? Well I think I spoke about 6 months too early! He has recently become very enamored with his tool bench and steering wheel that light up, make noises, and sing. I think he’s finally old enough to be able to manipulate them well and really enjoy what they do. He only takes sharp left turns with his steering wheel so maybe we have a future Nascar driver!

1. I have been a bad blogger lately. And an even worse picture taker, I literally have not taken a picture of anything since we got back from vacation. Sorry Dad – this post is ALL words!

2. Tomorrow Will goes to “Playcation” at church. It is all day Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and I am teaching the 2 year old class. I am a little nervous about him going – silly, I know! I hope he behaves, does ok without a nap and that I packed him enough food for lunch. The only lunch box we own is Vera Bradley and pink – I hope his friends don’t make fun of him.

3. For reasons unknown, my computer has decided to not “pull up” certain websites. For instance, I can’t log on to our online banking. But I also can’t log on to my Netvibes account and this is where I store all the blogs that I like to read. But this has been a blessing in disguise. I found that the more time I spent reading blogs the more un-content I was in my own life. It’s easy to constantly compare yourselves to everyone else on the internet! So, even when I get the capability to look at Netvibes again I am going to drastically scale down and only read blogs of people I know (and a select few that are inspiring to me).

4. I started a new Bible study with some girls in my Sunday school class last Tuesday night. We are striving to really hold each other accountable in our spiritual walk. One way, of course, is asking what we have learned each week through our Bible reading. Well, I have really failed this week. If they ask I may have to lie and make something up. Just kidding Maybe I’ll learn something at Playcation tomorrow!
