August..

So many things are running thru my mind. It is kinda hard to focus right now on my 'to do' list because my heart is hurting so bad for my best friend. It is so weird.......... So weird, weird, weird to be in the position of watching her family go thru this. So just pray if you happen to be reading this. I've just been praying for God's grace to comfort their broken hearts. I literally just want to kiss their hearts to make them feel better but I know it is not that easy. I wish it were that easy though. All I know is Satan is EVIL.

On to other news.... Family Update. Btw I'm a crazy Aunt. I'm one of those aunts you love/hate to have. You would love me because I love your kids SO much. I'm their for birthdays and fun weekends and cry when you cry and laugh when your kids say the cutest not sooo original things. However bc it is YOUR KID its totally orignal. You hate me because I get to be apart of their kid club and we sing and dance and tell stories and you being the mom or dad are not allowed to be apart of the club! Ha ha! Oh and the best part of the whole deal is I do not have to be the one to say No all the time.

So school time.....

My beautiful Niece Abigail started 1st grade today and she was not tooo happy about not being in Ms. Leavy's class this year.



My other beautiful niece Ms. Emma started Pre K at Fellowship Christian Academy. She was SOOOO excited! She loves going to chapel. I love that she loves it so much!

Ms. Olivia is NOT liking her sister being gone for 4 hours a day. She is sorta happy that she gets to have one on one mommy time though. She does however get to go to the gym with her mom everyday and get a good hour of playing. She cries when it's time to leave. I'm not sure if that is normal or not but whateve.

Noah... I do not think he notices anything. Typical MALE! Haha!

Watching my sisters be mothers is so weird because we are sisters and I know the fun parts of them and the crazy things they have done or said. Then they are responsible for these kids that I love so much! Laura is such a harworking mom and I give it up to her because she is a single mom and I can say without a doubt that being a single mother is the HARDEST job on earth. She makes it look easy but just spending one day with her and I'm tired. From working a full time job, full time in School, raising Abigail, keeping up with home stuff.. It is just mind blowing. I pray that I am never one but just on the off chance that I am I am not worried because I think its in the genes. Christine, Christine, Christine, I'm not exactly sure how you received these three angeles as children. I just do not get it. Talk about miracles! HAHA!!!!! Jeez I crack myself up. No in all seriousness. Christine I love the way your kids know how much they are loved. You give them that right dash of discpline, love, acceptence, faith, and courage to each of them and it shows.

Received my grades for my summer classes... Straight A's. I was pretty excited because I have never written SO many papers during one semester. Do you know how sometimes you feel you say the same thing over and over and over again. That is how I felt when I was writing my final paper. We basically had to write essays about every thing we read then we had to write a final paper about all of those papers. Sounds easy but I think I have this curse where I make things harder than they are supposed to be. My mind is now coming out of the fog and getting ready to start school again this saturday!


Work is well...... Work.... What can I say other than that? I'd feel better about work if I was writing this on a Thursday but I'm not its a Monday.

So with that I hope each of you has a fun, safe, week!

Here is Emma her first day of school. I will get Abi on here once I get a picture from Laura!

Ch ch ch changes..

The only good news about summer coming to an end is that my summer school is almost over!

I know I would love the fall if we actually had a fall. I'm in LOVE with the idea of fall.. The leaves turning brown and orange and red and it cooling off. Enjoying a nice hot cup of coffee sitting on the porch without sweat dripping off your face. Putting on a pair of jeans and not feeling like you are in the sauna. Actually doing your hair and leaving it that way all day. Being able to buy the clothes they are showing for the new season.

However Houston's fall basically just means...

- We are at 92 degrees instead of 99 degrees
- Instead of shopping in the 'seasonal' clothes you are at the sales rack because there is NO WAY you are throwing money down to buy that cute little longsleeved, cardigan, sweatshirt, looking thing.
-You will keep enjoying your iced coffee until November, October if you are lucky!
-We will still do our hair so that to other people it looks like we care but the minute no one is watching you, your hair is back up in a pony tail.
- I will still get so mad at myself for having leather seats and promising myself that my next ride will have cloth.

The bright side to all of this:

-Pedicures continue for show
-I do not have to rake leaves anytime soon. Which is actually one of my most dreaded things to do.. In fact I usually find a way out of it ;)

So on the otherside of life things..

My baby nephew turned 2! Not so baby anymore.. :( Happy Birthday Noah! Aunt Amy loves you soooooooooooooo much! He could so be mine! People think he is mine all the time and I admit I love it!!
