Summer so far

It's been a while since I've updated this, so I thought that I'd write some about what's been happening this summer so far. After getting my classroom cleaned and going to meetings, I flew up to Minnesota for about 2 weeks. I got up there on June 2nd. The first few days I got to help with haying and cleaning the house (to get ready for my brother and his family to come). I spent some time raking hay and unloading hay with my dad and younger brother. Nothing to exciting happened the first week or so I was home. My brother and his family got there on Thursday the 11th. From when they got there till I left was pretty busy. That Friday we went to this Park/Zoo. Isaac and Rebecca really loved it. It was a lot of fun, especially the see the kids interacting with the animals. Isaac's shoe even feel into the badger pen. Thankfully a worker was able to get it out. Friday evening Isaac got his second hair cut. He did really well for it, and afterwards, we all kept saying how handsome he was.

On Saturday we headed for to my grandparents (mom's side). We got there at about 11am and didn't leave to almost 9pm. It was a long day, but it was good to see a bunch of relatives. One of the highlights of our time there, was my grandpa's golf cart that he uses to drive from the house to the pig barn. My cousins 7-year old daughter loves to drive the thing, so she took Rebecca and my brother for a ride. Then Rebecca wanted to ride it. Eventually my brother and his whole family rode it. Isaac even "drove" it. They kids just absolutely loved it. Shortly before we left, they wanted to go on one last ride. It was a great day of conversation and of course, FOOD!!!!

Sunday the 14th meant church. The kids were really well behaved for church. Then that afternoon is was time to hang out in Elgin at my other grandparents (dad's side). We spent most of our time playing at the park across the street. The kids had a great time playing on the equipment. Rebecca really loved being pushed on the swing by her papa (my dad). She also loved playing in the sand on the sand volleyball court. She even played in the sand while a bunch of the adults played volleyball. Volleyball was fun; it was good to get out and move around.

Monday morning quickly came. That day I headed back here to Oklahoma. I flew from Minneapolis to Denver and then Denver to Tulsa. Kate picked me up from the airport and then we hung out and talked at my apartment for over 2 hours when I got home. I didn't have a whole lot of time to relax because VBS was the next day (I missed the first day). I was busy helping Kate with music. Basically I spent 2-2.5 hours singing every morning. It was fun, yet exhausting.

This week I had a counseling appointment. I'm already trying to do something she suggested: making lists. I does seem to be going well. I've also been trying to work-out more. Kate and I worked out together a few times this week, and we are going to work-out tomorrow morning as well. I got a new phone with week and I know have unlimited texting, which is nice. I also went and test drove two cars on Wednesday. Now I'm just trying to decide between the two. I'm about 90% sure which one I'm going to get.

Well it's time to get some more things done.
