Back to Reality

After a summer full of packing, moving, unpacking, decorating, procrastinating, and way too many doctors… I finally had to go back to work.
It has been a month since the last update and Jon and I have been doing some yard work. Jon moved the fire ring from the center of the yard towards the back. He dug the ring into the ground and added landscaping blocks. Here is the finished product. ..

We also dug up a lot of plants that were either not doing well or we just didn’t like. We were over grown with weeds and this was our best solution. I really like how it is turning out although we still have more work to do. We bought a few new plants and are hoping to add some landscaping rock soon.
School has been very busy, although it is going more smoothly than last year. I am able to use some of my lesson plans from last year which saves me from spending hours at night planning out the next day. I do have two new classes this year: Business Law and Sports Marketing/Fashion Merchandising. The rest of my schedule is filled with Accounting 1 and 2, Computer Applications, Desktop Publishing, and HTML. I am also working hard on the DECA chapter for the 2nd year. I have a goal of 10 students this year and I think we might make it. I have 4 new students plus 4 from last year so only need 2 more before next Monday.
Here is a picture of the flowers Jon brought home for me on my first day of school

Here is Jon and the first day of his new job. He know works at the hospital in Arlington which is only about a block from our house!
