Where we've been

So this has been a wild summer. We bought season passes to the landing (water park by Mark Twain Lake) and have went a lot, but would like to have gone more, time has just flown by. Before I started my job we squeezed in short trip to Kansas City and another short trip to see my sister in Lousiana and we got to see alligators and had lots of fun. We spent the 4th of July weekend with friends and worked around home and the kids got their first experience with sparklers and the lanterns that float like in the movie Tangled which was a lot of fun. Since starting the job, I've been gone some which has been hard and time has gone so quickly I blinked and it was August. I haven't done a good job taking pictures lately, but do have a few to share of randomness throughout the summer. I will post them shortly. Other than that we've spent our weekends at home, visiting mom and dad in Jeff City and we even enjoyed one day out on the lake with friends, just us adults! ;) It was an enjoyable time. I think we didn't do much of anything but we've been to the movies and fun things. We had prospects of a new home but it was off the market just about before we began to look into it, so that was disappointing, but we're still not sure if we want to build/buy any way so it was probably for the best. We're also looking into a new car, but have no idea when we'll decide to bite the bullet on that one! LOL! Between county fairs and everything else the life of an ag teachers brings it's been a crazy summer full of fun and life is good. It has been hard leaving the kids, but the job has been rewarding so far and really does make the time away worth it. This week we'll be traveling to the Marion County fair to watch my students show and the kids will be along to enjoy rides and the motocross Thursday evening. Then on to the state fair next week! Then things really get interesting as school begins and I really see what it's like to be an ag teacher! Although I'm excited about a new car and a new home, I'm not sure when/where those directions are leading just yet and that's okay, I'm still enjoying the ride and can't imagine that a different car or new home or anything else would make this life any better than it already is. Although if anyone reads this they may throw up in their mouth a little, I'm gonna get mushy and say I'm truly blessed with a wonderful husband and two great kids, they really make life worth living.
