We started out the month delivering back packs that our Sunday School class, 241, filled for a few refugee families in Tucson. That was such a great experience for Lee and me. The rest of the first week of August was filled with watching the Bachelorette finale (yay for Roberto!), dinner with the McClain's, my board mixer for work, dinner with the Stine's, Lee's Wildcat Club happy hour, and 241 Ladies dinner. Needless to say, by the time the weekend came we were exhausted!
The second week was equally as busy....I am starting think that our life will always be this busy! We started off the week with a baby dedication for all of the 241 babies that born the last year or two. I was in charge of planning that event and we had approximately 90 people there....glad it turned out well and we were able to celebrate all of the babies. The rest of the week, I had a happy hour with my old boss, Jennifer, and it was fun catching up with her. Lee also finished teaching his summer school class, and I had dinner with our realtor, Camille, before I left for Dallas/Austin trip on Thursday.
Speaking of Dallas and Austin, I had a blast going back to Dallas and riding with my mom down to Austin for a girls weekend and Candice's Bachelorette Party!! Mom and I shopped in San Marcus (a little too much!), ate at the Gristmill in Gruene, TX before heading back to Austin for Candice's party. I had such a great time catching up with Candice and celebrating her last night out with her and her friends. Here's a few pics from that trip.
The third week of August was filled with having the Scofields over for dinner, interviewing for a new job at Susan G. Komen for the Cure (yay!), packing and leaving for our summer vacation to San Diego on Wednesday.
Speaking of San Diego, our trip was fun despite me getting severly burnt (still peeling over two weeks later). We stayed in Downtown on Wednesday night at the Grand Hyatt....so beautiful! We explored Seaport Village before heading to Mission Bay for the remainder of our trip. Thursday was filled with running around, doing work stuff, and getting settled into our room at the Hilton. We had a nice dinner at the resort and got to watch the fireworks show at Sea World from our dinner table.....that was awesome. Friday, we layed out by the pool and this is where the serve burn came into play...ouch, it still hurs thinking about it! We went to Little Italy for dinner which was nice, and then Saturday, we went to Mission Beach, Pacific Beach, Bird Rock, Windan Sea Beach (my favorite!), and La Jolla. We had a great time! And, we finished up the evening eating at George's on the Cove in La Jolla and then back to our hotel for more fireworks watching. On Sunday, we drove to Coronado Island, had lunch, and then drove back to Tucson. It was great to have a little time by ourselves and explore a new place before the school year started.
As August came to a close, we finished out the month with my work retreat, Lee's all-staff BBQ, prayer night at church, doctors and dentist appointments, dinner with the Tomczyk's, Key Leader meeting at church, met with Susan G. Komen and got a job offer, double date with the Ingrams, church meeting, Pi Phi AAC/EXEC meetings, Wildcat Club orientation, and dinner with Pastor Phil....whew, we ended the month just as busy as it started!
