Lakehouse Party

Ashley and her friend Emily wanted to have their joint 18th birthday party at Lake Conroe. Emily's family has a house there. The girls invited a bunch of their friends and had a great time. It was a great group of kids.

This is the start of homecoming week. Sunday night thru Friday night we have to stay up and watch the house because of Junior/Senior wars. Not looking forward to it.
Ashley and I also have to finish her mum- her lucky date doesn't have to buy her one since we've already made a really cool one. We have to get together her officer gift to her rank- which we are also making. This will be a busy week.

Catching Up......

I can't believe I haven't updated in 3 months. I think it might be easier if I just list all that has been going on (what I remember anyways). So- here goes!

I have a new job at a dental office in Stafford. I really like it and the people I work with. I'm an office manager- so finally after years of doing the same thing, at least I get a title with it :).

We went on a family vacation in July. We took the kids on a 7 day cruise to Key West, Nassau and Freeport Bahamas. They loved it. We already have the next one planned for next July.

Joey and I celebrated our 20th anniversary this July. The cruise was our gift.

Amy and Emily are back in school at the charter school. Emily got accepted for this year and she seems to be enjoying it. She is in dance class through school and is excited because she has been asking to take dance for a while. Both girls think it's just awful that they have to wear uniforms. I am really liking it!

Ashley started her senior year. She has been very busy and is hardly home. It's like she's already left for college. She is historian on her drill team, in PALS, Senior Men and Women, and Teen Leadership. She is pretty decided on going to Blinn for two years and then she will decide at that point what to do. I have to send off her dorm deposit- now! We originally thought she should stay home and go to Lone Star for the first year or two- but I think it would be better for her and us that she go away and mature a little. Think on her own for a change.
