August Already?!



The lack of blogging is not due to laziness… believe it or not… iphoto just SHUT DOWN on me for the past few weeks and I couldn't even launch it. Talk about frustrating. Ugh. What fun is a blog post without pictures?? none at all.. so I didn't feel much like updating.

Besides, a lot has been happening….

First of all, Dylan is fine. I feel like we have finally settled into a routine and that is good for both of us. He works 7 days a week and I get to talk to him still at morning and at night. If we're lucky we get to skype at night, and that's always a treat. I've been sending him A LOT of goodies lately…





I think I have sent him a total of 8 packages so far… Most of it was food items so he can have something to eat while he is at work during the day.

The other reason I've been so busy is…

I GOT A JOB!! I can't even BELIEVE it.

I'm working at an elementary school that is pretty much 2.5 miles from where I live (it was actually the elementary school that I went to, there are still some familiar faces around there, too!) I am a vision specialist aide for a little boy who is completely blind. We'll call him J for privacy purposes.

School started on Monday because they are a year round school, so I already have a week under my belt. I love the school, I love the people I work with, and I love J. He is so witty, and sweet, and has a great sense of humor! He's so smart and other than the blindness, he is just a normal kid. He is awesome and I am so lucky to be working with him this year!

The only bad part of my job is waking up SO STINKIN' EARLY! But I'll get used to it!

Now that iphoto is cooperating, I hope to be updating a lot more! As of today, only 60 days left until my man gets back!

Happy weekend!
