New Beginnings

Ah, I love the start of a new school year. There is something so refreshing about it. I have spent the day getting ready! I got my car detailed and oil changed. I went and got my hair all shaped up and refreshed after a summer of chlorine and sun damage. We went tonight to get all of Harrison's school supplies... What fun! I so look forward to getting back to work and our busy scheduled lives!! That seems so strange to say, but I crave the structure right now. I have had four months of playing with the boys, watching tv and lounging by the pool. That is enough for me! Time to get back to what I love.... and love being able to say I love my job (never really been able to say that before). I am so excited about this year because it will be my first year as a school counselor where I feel like I know what I am doing (at least somewhat). Last year was so tough because I was a school counselor for the first time, pregnant (sick for most of the first semester of school) and attending grad school full time. Needless to say every area of my life suffered as I attempted to juggle it all. All I have to do this year is focus on my job and love my babies when I get home! It is still and handful, but I am confident that I will be able to do both very well. It will be a little stressful as we are also building a house right now, but all of the major decisions have already been made for that, so all I have to do is drive by and take pics every couple of days:)

Harrison starts Kindergarden this year!!! Can you believe it? My baby grew up so fast! He has matured so much this summer and I am so proud of him. Kirk and I have been through so much since his birth, and we have taken him all over the United States as we follow our hearts and dreams. He has been a trouper, and become this amazing, insightful, mature kid along the way. I am loving watching him grow and discover more about who God created him to be. Here is a pic. Isn't he handsome.

Here's to another new school year!!!!
