Catching Up

Well, it's hard to stay caught up when you have two little boys that keep saying, "Mom." "MOMMY!" "MOM, where are you?" "Mom! I need you!" "Mom, play with me!" "Mom, I want to listen to Real Gone." That's what is buzzing in my ear right now.

We got to our new apartment on July 1st after driving for 3 days without any MAJOR problems. We stopped in Childress to stay the night and woke up to a flat tire. Everyone there was very helpful and we got on the road about an hour after I had planned. It was kind of wierd being here in an empty apartment after the boys went with Andy. I was so turned around driving, I was afraid of to wander too far. I got a map and well, I still go the wrong way all the time but I at least feel like I can figure out where I am and get back the right direction.

We went to Wimberley over the 4th of July for the Gumm Family Reunion. We had a great time. The boys had a great time swimming in the river and I was glad to see all of my family. Drew was diving down in this deep hole and picking up some pretty big rocks. JB finally got comfortable on the last day! Of course. They've been swimming a lot since we've landed in Texas and they are both quite the little fish. Drew has no fear and swims quite well while JB is a little more conservative and they both have awesome tans now!

The job search has been complicated. I interviewed and was offered a job with Ebby Halliday but I turned it down because it wasn't enough money. I may be kicking myself in the long run especially since I started fighting the traffic over to Addison for a temp job. I'm working at The Staubach Company scanning lease document right now. Being in the copy room all day is not my dream job and a lot slower pace than what I'm used to but it's a paycheck while I look for something else. I have several interviews this upcoming week so we'll see what happens.

The boys started school on the 14th and thank goodness my mom was here visiting or I might have gone stir crazy! They are liking their school a lot. Drew is in a private kindergarten class with 7 other kids and we're focusing on reading. His afternoon teacher is Mr. Cory and is a blast! JB's teacher is Ms. Annabelle. She's from the Bahamas originally and is over 70 years old. She stresses a lot on manners! Halelujah!

I know there is a lot more to write about but Drew's wanting to play so I better run. I'll try to write more soon.
