And.. I'll miss my friends and cousin. It was great to be close to Ashna and Chad, Chloe and Tyler, and two of my high school friends, Dominique and Shellie. We had a great time swimming, shopping, and having dinners together. I finally got to meet Dominique's baby, Landon, who is so darling. Luckily, they'll all be there when we move there in a year.
So, we got back on Sunday, and I started my school meetings on Monday. It was crazy getting ready for Back to School Night that Thursday, but I made it with the help of James and my parents. They got my classroom ready in pretty much one day. Thanks! Then, the real stuff--school started this Monday. Let's just say life is different now. My summer was full of free time, reading, swimming, cooking, etc. Not quite anymore. Now all I think about is what I'm going to teach at every minute of the day and how I'm going to manage 33 sixth graders for a year. It felt like the longest week ever, so hopefully things can only go up from here! At least I'm blessed with a job that's close to home with benefits, etc. I owe James a big one for working for our family eventually. I'm so glad we have a plan to look forward to!

Christie! So glad to finally hear from you guys! Looks like you are super busy with school and back into the groove of things. Don't worry....I'm still looking for a job. :( Kill me now. Well, we hope we see you guys soon. Maybe at the football game! We need James phone number because the other phone we were using this summer now belongs to Clark's brother and James number was deleted. If you could text that to me I would appreciate it!! Good luck with the job!
Oh Christie I feel for ya with the whole "first week of school" thing. Luckily, I'm not doing it this year. :) I'm glad your doing so well!
I am totally jealous that you get to hang out with our cute little pregnant Chloe! It makes me want to move to Dallas:) Good luck with school. I have only taught a first week of school once, but man was it overwhelming! You are awesome, it is so fun to see what you are up to!
