Kids are back in school!!!!


Things are going pretty good in laramie this week, just keeping busy. I started my new job at the alternative high school as a secretary and registar, in August as many of you may already know. All the kids started school this week and I am really enjoying it so far. I have decided that i definetely like working with teens better than younger kids. I always thought I would but it has been confirmed this last week. Dont get me wrong, they are definetly not easy children by any means but i really love their different personalities and I think that Heavenly Father is blessing me with the ability to see them as His children and I am able to see that some of their difficulties in their personalities are not because they are bad but because they have not always been treated like children of our Heavenly Father. I just want to mother them all. My heart aches for them. Sorry i just kind of went on a tangent! The weekend forecast of my social life is proving to be too busy for my liking. I think I may have to cut out an activity or two, to make my life more sane. I have found that I really like be social but when i over do it, I either get really sick or really crabby or both (really sick is generally followed by really crabby). I am sure glad that my most adorable hubby is ever forgiving my extreme moodiness. Okay I am not as bad as I say I am but I do have my moments. Well despite being busy I will be happy because my family will be in town. They will be going to the University of Wyoming football game and I will be watching chic flicks and then we will spend some time together. Yipee! Friday Aarons boss is going to throw a end of the summer food bash-aka..bbq- and they never skimp on good eats. I am hungry just thinking about it. drooling actually. lol! Oh yeah! I forgot to mention that I have been off and on sick - like I was at the beginning of the summer- so it has sucked physically the last couple of weeks- but my sister heather baked me cookies and her and ben came over to visit for awhile. It was so sweet. I couldnt really eat the cookies, but aaron sure enjoyed them for me. Ha! I just though it was wonderful and I really do need to thank Heavenly Father for my awesome family. Well I better head off to bed. Excuse all the grammer mistakes. I honestly dont really care whether I forgot a punctuation mark or spelled something wrong. I am too tired to spell check.

The month of August

My Niece Abi, having a blast on the chair. AHH! the simple things in life.
So it has been a pretty busy month. It started out with me starting a new job. It was definately a little overwhelming at first but I think I am really going to be happy. For those of you who dont know, I am working at an alternative high school in Laramie as a Secretary. When i worked at my last job, the days seemed to drag and I woke up each morning really not wanting to go to work. The days seem to just fly by at my new job and I am happy when I come home. Less stress is quite nice. So that has kept me pretty occupied. when i havent been working I been hanging out with friends. I hosted a girls night a couple weeks ago and it was so needed. I invited tons of girls and we just sat and talked and ate tons of junk food. Several of the girls told me that they really appreciated a girls night out, so I think I will make it a monthly thing. On the 9th I went to my bestfriend , from high school, wedding. It was a very nice ceremony and I really enjoyed myself. I got to see a lot of people that I had not seen in years and it was good to visit. On the 13th I was invited to dinner and a game night with a few friends. I had a blast but it was a short night because my good friend, Julie, from texas was in town and wanted to visit as well. Well I really could not say no and I am really glad that I did not. Aaron and I stayed up fairly late to visit and it just wasnt a long enough visit. I really do miss my friends that have moved so far away. Sometimes it is hard being in Laramie, when so many people come and go. On the one hand I have made so many lifetime friends, but I always have say goodbye. Anyways I drove to Rapid City to attend my sister, Lucinda's, wedding this last weekend. It was a very beautiful event and my sister looked stunning. It was also wonderful to get to know her husband and his children a little bit better. I also got to see a lot of my other family members and it was just a great weekend. I got back on sunday and yesterday I spent the evening going to dinner with my best friend from college, Bobbi, who was visiting from Evanston. We went to dinner and just visited for quite awhile. I love how you can not see someone for such a long period of time and then when you get together it doesnt seem like you have spent anytime apart. So in short that was my month so far. Enjoy the pictures!
