I am running, running, running, all the time right now. Ninety percent of the time, I love it.
I'm tutoring an adorable kindergartener who is struggling to figure out letters, their sounds, and how to put them together to read. He loves to sit on my lap and practice saying letters, take wiggle breaks, and read stories "by himself". He is adorable and time with him is so fulfilling.
Wedding planning is moving full-speed-ahead. I never knew that so much planning went into a wedding! I can't wait for that day-I think things will come together and make a really simple but cute wedding. And I've been practicing using my thriftiness skills. I love looking around to find the best deal-it should be an Olympic sport!
Cole and I made an offer on a build job for our house-and it was accepted! We are building a house in Gardener, Kansas. Just south of Olathe/Overland Park. If you want to see pictures check out Cole's blog at www.hoozh.net.
I have made driving arrangements, done the paperwork, and reserved the hotel room to present my honors research project at the Midwest Symposium for Leadership in Behavior Disorders later this month in Kansas City. I am excited to be presenting at a national conference and to get to learn so much by being surrounded by the best professionals in the field! Wahoo!
Here it is: we, the office girls, enjoyed this (perhaps too much!)
