Grace, you are a genius!!!

I'm right here! Hello ladies!! Super idea, Grace! Megan, I am so glad to hear that Kiersten is doing so well! I love all of the new pictures you post on MySpace so I can keep up with her as she grows. It's nice to have Kaleb so I can kind of compare how quickly Kiersten is growing too... since they were born on the same day! Grace, I think you still owe me one of your nieces though! Just kidding!! By the way, who is cool breeze? Can we dish about boys on here too or should we keep such gossip confidential? I'm gonna ask it anyway... Grace, what's the new scoop with the boy toy? I never got my phone call!

So today is July 12 and I am torn. A part of me is dreading going back to school but a part of me is excited and ready to go back. Word on the street is that we are getting a good group of students this year, so that will be a relief. I am starting to get lazy and feeling like a slacker so I'm ready to contribute to society again!

I have kept somewhat busy this summer so far. I went to Country Stampede in June, though it wasn't the same without the original crew and the amount of alcohol I used to consume! I just can't drink like I used to! So far in July I've just been hanging out in Wichita. I'll be coming home to the Topeka area on July 17, but am not sure I will have time to get together with my homegirls. It's going to be family time because we are selling my grandma's house in Maple Hill. We are auctioning all of her stuff on July 19, so that will be pretty tough. Right now she's in assisted living at Atria and that is where she needs to be now. I feel better knowing she is being looked after and kept safe. Then in August I will of course be getting my classroom ready for the beginning of school. The first day of school is August 13.

Nick is in the Ozarks this weekend for a bachelor party and I got many drunken text messages last night! Things are really good right now! We are both kind of getting tired of people asking us when we are going to get married though. We have been dating 11 months now and know we are on that route, but are just not ready for the next step yet. We are enjoying dating and where we are at right now. You know my philosophy... no need to rush!

Wow guys! I didn't know I had it in me to write so much! If you have made it through my entire entry, I congratulate you and thanks for reading! :) I hope all is well with everyone! Let's keep this up!! Love you all!
