Well, it has been over a year since we moved out here to Texas and we are adjusting quite nicely. I started this blog when I was working overnights at Target and didn't do a good job at keeping up with it but have decided to try this again since I am finishing up school and the big news....we are building a house.
Tyler is now in the 5Th grade and was nominated to be part of the People to People Student Ambassador program like Josh. His trip is Exploring European History and will take him to Ireland, England, Belgium, France and the Netherlands. Well, that is if Brien and I can raise enough money to send him there. We still have to decide on whether or not to submit his application which will cost $400 but will refunded if he is not accepted after application and interview process. He is doing very well at Waverly Park and will be going on to middle school next year. He is still involved in cub scouts and he is a Webelo II and is preparing to cross over to Boy Scouts next year, I believe in March at the Blue and Gold Banquet.
Hunter is doing really good at his new preschool. He is attending the preschool at the YMCA in downtown Fort Worth. He is about 7 minutes from my job and it works out great. With his tuition, he is taking swimming lessons every Thursday and is doing great. I got to see a little of his swim lesson last Thursday. I have already signed him up for the next 2 sessions so that he can continue swimming. He is also doing T-ball thru his school which is nice. They practice in the mornings and will be having some games this coming Saturday and next Saturday. I'll be taking pictures and will post them afterwards.
Awhile back ago, I ended up getting tickets to a Texas Rangers baseball game which I took the kids and Marti to since Brien had to work late. They had a ball. We had seats about 5 rows back from the dugout right along 3rd baseline. When they were changing sides, Marti and I sent Tyler down to try and catch one of the baseballs they throw into the crowd, well....he managed to get the ball. So we came home with a souvenir. Also, that night while Tyler was eating some nachos, he managed to lose a tooth. Hunter keeps asking me when we are going to the baseball game again. Guess, next season we will have to invest in a couple of games.
Now, on the news about our house. We found some land in a development and decided to build a house. We will have 1.646 acres of land, Brien will get to have a workshop/garage of his own, and I get to look out my backyard to the animal reserve that is behind us. No one will ever build a house behind us and I get to watch deer, antelopes, buffaloes, and sometimes zebras out walking about. After months of revising our plans, since it is a semi-custom home type deal, they are in the process of building it right now. It looks to being done around January which is good since we both don't want to try and move during the holidays. I'll be able to post pictures later when I get home from work.
Well, I guess that is it for now. I will try to keep up with this as best that I can.
