Don't Worry!

Haven't forgotten about you!

Homecoming week= fun, wild, crazy!

Picture to come!

OH MY GOODNESS!

I just have to admit something.

It is always in the back of my mind, not to go through each day like it is just a list of things to be marked off. I don't walk around telling people that I TRY to be intentional like this, it is just always a GOAL I have.

Well let me tell you about this week. ... Absolutely, Positively, ONE OF THOSE WEEKS

I am not kidding about this people, it was one thing after another, after another that had to be done, deadlines, trips, volleyball, rescheduling, etc etc etc....

and just to top it off, I left Saturday morning at 5:30 AM DROVE THE BUS, yes I drove the BIG YELLOW SCHOOL BUS, to Amarillo for my vball girls to play in a tournament and did not get home until 9:00 PM on Sat. night. Tired is not the word!

Sunday one the other hand was such a breath of fresh air! Isn't God sweet to do that? God completely spoke through our preacher at church about how everything is beautiful in it's time and being joyful day in and day out. AND we sat by some of our friends that we defintely don't get to see enough!

CRAZY WEEK, AWESOME GOD!

Hope your week is wonderful, REALLY!
Even at work, have some fun!
love you!

And we're off....

We are back in full gear! The kiddos are back and almost an entire week has past. Aaron is teaching 2 PE classes and 2 study halls...tough I know! He loves his classes and seems to be having a great year so far. His cross country started up and they are practicing a bit after school everyday.

I have 3 Spanish II classes and 1 PE class. My classes are great and my volleyball girls are off to a good start as well. FUN FUN, but BUSY BUSY!

I feel like we have to recover every night just to be ready for the next day! ha!

Here are a few pics from Papa and Raiter's birthday party.

AND yeah for Nanny getting her eyeliner tatooed!(sp?) She was tough and it looks soooo good!!

Hope everyone is SUPER and have a relaxing labor day wkend!!

Two Things....

Number 1. Is anyone else fanatical about watching the Olympics?? I think I am addicted! I LOVE IT!

Number 2. Do you ever look forward to cuddling up in your bed?? Tonight I just can't wait to go to sleep!

weird I know, Aaron thinks sleeping is such a waste of time, but tonight, yes tonight, I beg to differ!

GOODNIGHT!

Lately

Well folks, volleyball is completely underway and things around here are gearing up again as usual. We have been doing 2 a days, so it has been pretty crazy around here, but lots of fun. The people we both work with are awesome, so if we have to be at work , at least they make it lots of fun!


I'll be honest, I actually snuck(sp?) in a nap today while Aaron went to hang out with JC. So that was wonderful.

Aaron just got back from playing 4 beautiful golf courses in Dallas with Clay and Rylan and had so much fun. And while I don't have pictures, I DO have some of Carter's Golf birthday party, (he turned 3,) and Abbi and I watching a chick flick and eating popcorn and peanut M&M's. (Which if you have not tried as a snack, you are missing out)

Recipe: One bag kettle corn
One bag peanut M&M's = YUMMY.....just make sure a few of each are in your mouth at the same time for sweet and salty perfection!! (As seen above...ha)

Last official day of summer!

What a sad/happy day it is.

Today is Ashley's last REAL day of summer. I mean sure school does not start until August 25th, but tomorrow I have to report back to work to start getting things organized for volleyball for when the girls come on the 4th.

So today I will try to fit in all of my favorite things (in Lubbock at least...)

Pedicure
Ride my bicycle around our fun neighborhood
Go running
Watch 2 super girly movies I rented
get a snowcone at Bahama Bucks
Dinner at 82nd Street Cafe
play ball with the dogs
maybe do a bit of shopping

all while missing my husband who has about 2.5 more weeks of summer and is on a super fun, pack all the golf you can into 3days, trip in Dallas with some of his buddies!

Can you tell I am jealous??

ha! Better go get started!

Hope you all are wonderful!

Before I get back to being productive....

You should know that I have not had a traffic ticket since I was a senior in high school.

On this lovely Thursday afternoon I was being so productive getting all kinds of appointments in before the crazy volleyball season gets started. I was on a role...Aaron and I both got eye appointments I got my hair highlighted and cut as well as a dentist appointment. I was feeling like we were pretty on top of things.....until I decided to drive down the new Marsha Sharp freeway. "This thing is great," says Aaron. "We would have already stopped at 3 lights if we took 19th." As we pass a radar that tells you how fast you are going. Ashley- "Oh I better slow down, I am going 52 in a 40." Aaron- "Nahh it's fine"

OVER VERY NEXT HILL.......

MOTORCYCLE COP

Red and blue lights you think, right? No

I am so lame, and still going 53, that the cop holding a radar gun who obviously just clocked me SPEEDING waves his hand for me to pull over.....

He didn't even have to chase me!!!

He was the nicest guy/cop I have ever known. Not that they are usually mean, but he was like "our friend."

He definitely gave me a ticket, but was the nicest guy.

I don't really know how I felt about him being so nice, it kind of got on my nerves!

hahahaha!

He didn't even have to chase me!
