Katie off to college

We woke up early yesterday and packed up all of Katie's things in the car. We went out to breakfast at the Waffle House and then headed to West Georgia. Katie checked in and when we drove to the dorm there were a group of volunteers who took all the stuff up to the dorm room. It was nice. I didn't think it would all fit but Katie got it all in and put away before we left. I didn't know her room mate was in the bathroom and walked in on her in the bathroom. Luckily she had a towel on. Jared thought that was real funny. She seemed to get along with her room mate so that was good. Jared reached out and gave her a hug as she was leaving. That was really nice to see. I was both happy for her and sad to see her go but as she says she will be back next weekend. I have talked to her twice since we dropped her off and she says she is having fun. I hope it all works out.

New Job

I will be embarking on a new job on Monday. The first one after about 5 or 6 years. I will be working at Kids R Kids. I will be watching 12 to 18 month old babies. It should be fun and exhausting. I will work from 2:00 to 6:30 the first week and then from 12:00 to 6:30 there after. I am both excited and a little scared.

We had a party for Katie today. It was a combination Birthday and College going away party. We had family and a few of Katie's friends. It was nice. We had fahitas. They were really good. I think everyone had a good time.

Florida Vacation

Katie and I went to Mexico Beach Florida from June 20 to the 26th. We were invited by my sister Carolyn. Melissa, Alex, Dino , Paul and Chuck were there as well. We had a very good time walking the beach, taking pictures and eating out. I really enjoyed my time there. It rained a few times but we had good weather also. We sat in the shed and watched the rain a lot. It was kind of nice.

School is starting back tomorrow. I am a little bummed out about that. I am not ready for it. I have to start getting up at 6:30 in the morning and get Jared up. He has to catch the bus at 7:30. Definitely not ready for it.
