But honestly, there really hasn't been much going on. Its just been so stinkin' hot that you really can't do ANYTHING outdoors- not even get the mail. We've pretty much watched LOST and a bunch of movies we had been wanting to see.
But we did go to a Fort Worth Cats game a few Saturdays ago. The Cats are a local minor league baseball team. We had a really good time. One thing pretty cool about the stadium was that they still use an old school score board. At the end of each inning a man walks down and puts up the sign for the runs. I was more fascinated with that than I was with the game! Ha!
We got some new neighbors over the weekend. We were excited about that since we've been without one for a while. Donald helped them unload their truck Friday afternoon, so they invited us to dinner with them and their family as a thank you to Donald (I just got to enjoy the food/fellowship without the hard work!) We went to Uncle Julio's, a Mexican restaurant. We had never been so we were excited to try it, and we are please to say it was very good! We had a good time getting to know them and telling them all about SWBTS!
We got a crazy hair on Saturday and wanted to re-arrange some rooms, but we can't change our bedroom, the living room or the kitchen because there is pretty much no way to change things. That left Donald's room, so we spent a good majority of the afternoon moving furniture and cleaning (always feels good to clean under furniture). There probably isn't any more room than there was before, but it feels like it, so we're excited.
My cousin Julie's wedding is coming up in a week and half, so I will be heading up to NJ for all the festivities! I am excited about seeing family and being a part of her big day, but Donald will be staying here so that a little of a bummer.
School goes back on the 25th and Donald is ready to get back to the books! (I'll do a post later with more on that, I am not sure of his schedule and all that fun stuff!)
I will be starting a new job in about a month! On Friday (August 5) I interviewed with a school about a tutoring position, and they gave me the job on the spot! (How cool is that!) I will be an in-house tutor for reading. I'll be given a set of students that I will pull out of class and work with them individually on their reading skills. The tutors generally start at the end of the first marking period (which would be around Oct. 1), but the principle is hoping to start sooner, like maybe the third week of September. I am really excited about this opportunity. It's not teaching, but it is working in a school with kids and will be utilizing my degree. And hopefully this will give me some good connections! I'll keep you posted on definite start days and how it's going!
P.S. Don't you love how you thought there was nothing going on here in TX except for a baseball game and a room change! Good thing you read the whole thing huh!?!?
