I cannot believe this is our last week of summer. It has really flown by but more crazy is the fact that Christmas is what 4 months away? WOW!
We got Madi into Pre K with Brody and Gracie and she is so incredibly excited. We go on Wednesday to meet the teacher although I've met her a couple of times in Brody and Gracie's ARD. Brody and Gracie will have the same Pre K teacher as Madi but also the PPCD teacher they had last year. Basically, she will come into the Pre K class and give added support to Brody and Gracie. I am on the fence about adding daycare when needed for all four. I don't want Truette going to daycare or any type of program until she is two but I also realize it would be a great help some days.
Ricky enrolled in his classes that start the same day as the kids. He only has 6 classes until he has his associates and transfers to A&M in College Station. That's really awesome considering he works 60+ hours a week and is as hands on with our home life as he is. It's extremely hard going to school without working but adding a more than full time job, that is a lot of dedication. He had to test for math before he could sign up this semester and he tested right into college math. He graduated in 1999 which means he hasn't used any of that type of math in 15 years and still placed way above me. Ugh, I just can't do math! Anyway, he's trucking right along with his dream and goal of becoming an engineer. Super proud wife right here!
We went to the Texans game on Saturday night. It was our first NFL game and I think we are both hooked to live games. It was AWESOME and we won! We had awesome seats too so that helped. The kids and I got him tickets for his father's day gift. Meme came over to watch the kids and when Madi woke up Sunday she came into our room sad because "Mom, Meme is gone". I guess she didn't realize Meme wouldn't be there the next morning.
We don't really have planned appointments this week but I need to get a lot of stuff done before life is so hectic and unmanageable.
Also, we did not find our dream home or land so the hunt continues. We may just stay where we are for two years (like we originally planned) and then build in our current area. We really like it but it's extremely expensive out here. The taxes alone are around $600 per month, $1000 yearly HOA fees, and houses start out in the mid $200,000 range. With both of us being in school and not wanting school debt, it's probably smart to wait and build if that's what we want when the time comes. Until then, we will enjoy being so close to Ricky's job, being in a great school district, and all the other perks.
Update soon.
