Just another day!

I was sitting here playing around on this thing and it is really cool! It is great to hear from everyone and to see pictures and blogs of everyone also. Things in Texas are going well. We were in the mid 80's earlier this week and a cold front came through last night and so now we are in the low 70's. I guess fall is finally here! Nick is still working about 15 jobs it seems like. He sure is a hard worker and that is one of the many things I love about him. He is working for JPMorganChase reselling foreclosed homes, so needless to say, he is very busy. He is also going to school two nights a week, owns a lawncare company, and is going to start being a ref for high school wrestling. He is also the ward employment specialist. WOW! What a man! I am still driving a school bus and loving it (most days)! I also do the payroll for all the bus drivers (which is up to 150 or so now) so I am working more than 40 hours a week also. Wyatt is able to go with me on the bus and he loves it. He almost has all the elementary kids names memorized. He loves to talk to them and is the clown of the bus. He has a way of always making the kids smile and gets mad at them if they don't give him a high 5 when they get on the bus. Porter started Kindergarten this year!! I can't believe he is 5! Kindergarten is a full day and there are many days where he comes home VERY tired. He is doing great and loving school. He is just starting to learn how to read. We went to parent teacher conference just last night and his teacher is amazed at how smart he is. Each student starts out on reading level A. There is A, B, 1, 2 3. She said that after her individual assessments, most of the class is on level A. Porter is currently on level 1. They are required to be a level 3 by the end of the school year. She was not worried at all about Porter hitting that goal. So all is well at school! So, that is about it for us. It is the same thing day in and day out. We are trying to just keep up with it all just like everyone else! We love and miss everyone so much!
