Two weekends ago, Geoff and I went to the Lincoln Air Show. It was really neat and I had kinda been looking forward to it for a while. The school I work at is located in "Air Park" where the airport is. So for the few days leading up to the show we got to see all of the planes practicing while I was outside with kids at recess. Which of course made them WILD, but it was still fun. I was excited to see the Blue Angels in person, very cool! I don't know how they do it, I would be freaking out and definitely puking out my guts! But never the less, we had fun and even could see some of the performances from our apartment!
After this weekend of really nice late summer temps, it got cold. And when I was cold I mean low 50s high and almost in the 30s at night. And to add to the enjoyment it was windy and rainy. I know this doesn't sound like a huge deal but when I was sweating my you know what off on Monday at recess then nearly freezing on Wednesday, it was a bit redic. I mean, its still technically summer!!! This cold spell lasted almost a full week. It was nice to get to wear jeans and hoodies for a few days, but luckily we are back in "normal" late summer/September weather. If this is a glimpse at what winter will hold for us, I'm scared. Its not like Joplin, where if the temps are below freezing you have indoor recess. I'm hearing we pretty much go outside no matter what. And lucky me, I have 3 different recess duties!!! Looks like I'm investing in warm clothes and a good coat!
Lets see, I've started to coupon... Its going ok I would say. Still trying to figure it out. I can't wait until I get a good "haul" that I can share with you. I'm going to start going to a new grocery store per suggestions by some small group members and that they double their coupons! So, snif snif, I'll have to lay off of HyVee goodness for a while. This week will be our first Super Save trip so we will see how it goes.
Geoff has another project he is dreaming up. After the success of our chair and bench, he is ready to tackle something else. Our bathroom is just not very well thought out. The plug is right by all of the drawers so my Chi cord gets in the way all the time. Plus the way the door opens, you can't open any drawers unless the door is closed. Very frustrating. So Geoff is using his carpentry skills and new found electrical knowledge and supplies (thank you CED!!!) to create a cabinet/shelf/plug in base for extra storage and a different place to plug in. So we will see how it goes.....
My job at school is going really well. Other than the kids have been living in Crazy Town for about two weeks (Thanks to the air show, weather, full moon, and now we're thinking they are just crazy) so I come home pretty tired. Although, who wouldn't want to start their morning being greeted by 100 plus kids at breakfast saying "Good Morning Miss Holly!!" Makes my day and my heart happy. I did find out that a new elementary school is being built and will open next fall. So fingers crossed, this could be my chance to get in as a elementary music teacher! The only con is that the school is on the complete southeast side of town, making my possible drive nearly 30 minutes one way (compared to 8 minutes currently). So lots of prayers would be appreciated for guidance and seeking His will.
Well, I won't bore you any longer. I promise that my next blog will be a little bit more exciting....hopefully! Until then!!
