The Olympics and our summer are coming to a close! The USA has done an amazing job at the Olympics in China; we have loved watching the highlights and the competition on TV and on the internet each day…..Swimming, Volleyball, Basketball, and Gymnastics, etc. I am in awe at the talent and dedication shown by the USA athletes! We look forward to the closing ceremonies tonight, and then it will be back to school tomorrow. Savanna has another week before her classes will begin, but she is moving down to Provo on Tuesday and on Wednesday she will begin working at the MTC. We have enjoyed having her home these past few days!
It has been a busy week for each of us…..
Ron has been working on his administrative hours at Heartland Elementary this week. His days have been full of learning the ins and outs of administration. He has more insight into the teachers that he had worked with for a number of years now that he sees things from an administrative view. Thursday night he helped with back to school night. The school was over following with families that wanted to see their new school that had been rebuilt over the past year. Ron will be at Heartland for 2 more weeks before he returns to his own classroom. On Thursday he will begin his classes at the “U”. This fall he has a tough class, Educational Law…..It is a challenging class but everyone lists this class as one of the best and the most applicable!
Friday evening Ron and I were able to escape for a night at the Anniversary Inn. We were able to enjoy celebrating our 25th Wedding Anniversary!!!! Time sure does fly by fast! It is hard to comprehend that we have been married for 25 years, where does the time go? We feel so blessed to have a good marriage and great daughters. Ron was even commenting that we are blessed with a good dog! We hope that the next 25 years will be as good, if not better than the first 25 years!
My week was busy with getting everything ready for school on Monday. I had meetings and lists of things to do to help teachers. Things went well, but I wish that there was air conditioning in the library; it was hot the entire week! This first week of school will be non-stop because Sally and I will be checking out textbooks to the students. There are classes scheduled every 10 minutes, we are hoping that we can get all textbooks out within 5-6 days! The beginning of school is a fun time for everyone, the expectations are high and the students are exciting to see their friends! I am just hoping that the weather will cool down.
This coming Saturday I will be competing in a triathlon. My goal is just to finish the event. I have been cross-training this summer so hopefully I will be able to handle the 400 meter swim, the 12 mile bike race, and the 5K run. If only I could get Mike Phelps to do the swimming for me! I would also like to start with the run and end with the swim…. I’m sure that it will be a new adventure for me!
Savanna has enjoyed spending time with her friends this week. Her schedule has been busy with doing things with her friends, sorting through her clothes, and spending time with Marie. The girls really enjoyed being home alone on Friday night! They watched “Camp Rock” and sang along with the Jonas Brothers…They even put together their own music video!!! It was very entertaining; you will have to check with Savanna if you want to see the footage!
Marie started the week at half-strength, but she is back to 100% now! She worked everyday this week at Schmidt’s Produce! We are enjoying the benefits of fresh corn, watermelon, cantaloupe, peaches, and raspberries! Now that school is starting she will only be working 3-4 days a week and on Saturday. Marie is excited for a new school year and the chance to be surrounded by her friends. Saturday night she went swimming with a group of friends to celebrate the last day of summer vacation! This year she will be a junior and facing some demanding classes!
Cleo continues to enjoy the opportunity of going on walks with anyone that takes her…. She is still shedding a lot, but hopefully the cooler weather that will come will cut down on the amount of dog hair in the vacuum.
We hope that everyone continues to do well! The AZ students have been in school for 3 weeks now so I’m sure that their lives are back on the “school schedule”. This weekend will be the first BYU football game, so that means that fall is almost here!
Enjoy your week….
