Ten for Tuesday

1. Sarah returned back to her mother's house and started High School last week. She is a sophmore this year and is NOT looking forward going back to her school. Apparently she goes to school with a bunch a people she doesn't really care for. I told her that is just in a High School that's filled creeps.

2. Frankie is starting High School with us and will be a Freshman this year. Seminary starts next week and he is not looking forward to attending early morning seminary. It will be interesting to see how this will work out. Frank and his son are not morning people and it will be a struggle to get him up throughout the school year. Luckily I have a friend at church who has offered to drive him to school. The kids all go to the same school this year.

3. On Friday I was recognized for my five years of service at Honda and was presented with a plack. I will be receiving a gift from Honda once a decide what gift to pick from the catalog. I have been doing really well lately and have been rewarded with several jeans days and pizza lunches. It pays to be a good employee who works hard and is being recognized for my efforts.

4. Frank and I have been house shopping and will be moving in October. We don't have a lot of time and have to make a decision very quickly. We have a few bids on the table and we hope we will get something soon. We have outgrown our previous residence and our lease ends in September.

5. Frank is trying to get his series 65 license and failed the test by 1-2 questions. Now we will have to pay for him to retake the test. He didn't have much time to study and I am proud of his efforts. He was so close and can hopefully nail it on the next time.

6. Frankie went over to his mother's house this weekend. She didn't pick him up until Saturday afternoon and enjoyed his time with his mother. I worked in the morning and than went to pick up Savannah from her Auntie Dawn's house. They had a great time together and than we went home to go swimming.

7. I took Savannah to her 1st public pool and she liked it however our friends never showed up to go swimming with us. Apparently it was a lack of communication and she changed her plans. It was still fun spending time with my daughter. It was the last weekend the pool was supposed to be opened and a good day to cool off in the pool.

8. My best friend Heather brought her brand new baby Hailey over for a visit. It was nice to finally see her.

9. Frank watched Savannah so that I could go out with my friend Wendy for a girls night out. It was nice to go out without the baby. We went out to eat dinner at a Mexican restaurant and than we went to an old fashioned ice cream palor in Chicago. Afterwards we went to visit her boyfriend who is the GM to an AMC theater downtown. I was given a tour of the theater and got to see the behind the scenes action. It was interesting to see how they put films together and run the movies.

10. Our home teacher came over for a visit. I took Savannah in today to play for a few minutes in the nursery. I think will fit right in. She loves playing with the other kids and with with the toys. One of the kids pulled her hair right in front of me and I was shocked. Last week I found Savannah running around in sacrament with only half of diaper on. I was a bit embarrased but I don't think anyone so her with her diaper falling off. Just one of many stories to come I'm sure.
