September

So Josh was telling me this morning it was time to update the blog. I couldn't really think of much to update about, but I decided maybe it was time for just a general life update. So here goes. Starting with Josh. He is keeping very busy. He has been going into work extra early (4:30 ugh!) and working some overtime here and there. It has been a lot of work but rewarding. As far as he reports to me...work is going well. He also has started doubling up on classes. Which means rather than being a full-time student, he is a full-time student double time. This is the first round of classes like this so we will see how it goes. It is a lot of work but so worth it! It will help him finish his bachelors by June. Once that is out of the way he can start looking for new jobs and we can start thinking about getting out of the valley. Yay!!

Brooklyn is getting bigger and bigger everyday. Maybe not so much physically...she still only weighs about 15 pounds. But she is growing up. She chatters a lot more and is a little explorer. She loves to empty out cupboards and is fascinated by looking underneath our pantry closet door. She wants so badly to play in there! So she just peaks under the one inch crack under the door and reaches to touch things. It's cute. For the most part she is just happy and healthy. I just laugh with her every day.


Things are pretty easy going for me. I try to keep myself busy most the time with something or other. I'm almost finished with Brooklyn's quilt, which is the last piece of my sewing project. I made curtains and a bed skirt...oh and I'm almost done with a sheet for her bed too. Forgot about that one. I'm also up to 13 piano students. Once Tori and Lexie start I'll have 15. It has been a lot of fun teaching and sometimes a challenge. My students so far are great though. Some of them are learning so fast it amazes me. It has been a good way for me to fill my day and bring in some extra money at the same time. I am also having fun making decorations and getting ready for Fall. Fall is my favorite season! Just reminds me of fresh vegetables, football games, and sweaters (I love to wear comfy sweaters!). Anyway so tomorrow is the first official day of Fall. So I won't have to feel weird anymore about having my fall decorations up already. Once school starts I'm just ready to break out the scarecrows! I know I'm a dork.

I guess that's all the updates for now. Life is pretty good!
