It's Been Forever

I know I have abandoned my blog. I hope to be back in the swing of things and update more regularly now! A LOT has been going on. For starters I have another new job. You may remember this post where I told you about my new job as a teacher's aide. Well, if you have watched the news lately you know that there are major cuts to the education budget in Texas.  Shortly after I started my new job I got the opportunity to join my old co-worker at a new office she started a lot closer to where I live. Since I knew things with education were not going very well I decided to take the offer. I am very glad I did because in March I found out that I was going to be laid off from the school district. Since they were laying me off they let me go ahead and leave without finishing the school year. I am now back to working in real estate and I am happy. I did love teaching and I do think I really would have enjoyed having my own classroom, but honestly I don't really like where education is going right now. I'm not so sure that I want to be a part of it right now. My heart goes out to all the educators who have lost their jobs recently. It is so very sad.

This little guy is growing like a weed!

He is 9 months old and is into everything. I can't sit still for a minute. He is also pulling up on everything including the side of the bathtub. I have my hands full. His favorite thing to do is play with our doggie door. He did crawl completely outside one day and I found him on the patio. Please don't call CPS on me, I was watching him but I took my eyes off him for literally a second to put something away and he crawled through the dang door.

Dustin and I can't get enough of him.



I celebrated my 27 birthday in March (sadly I don't have any pictures). I also hosted a bridal shower for my sister.  I can't believe her wedding is in 45 days. It seems like forever ago since they got engaged. She has a couple's shower this weekend and another shower next weekend. I am going to be a busy bee between now and May 21.

I recently signed Grayson up for swim lessons this summer. I can't wait! He dunks his face in the water in the bathtub so I know he won't have any problems getting in the pool.

I have lots more to post so hopefully I will get caught up soon. I have a little more free time now so hopefully I won't neglect my blog for so long this time around!
