August is going to be a big month in this house!

August 8th

We bring Eve to the airport to begin her journey to Sweden. She’s flying out of Logan and has a layover in Amsterdam. Her host family will pick her up on the morning of the 9th in Gothenburg, Sweden!

August 12th

We bring Lex to college! He signed up for the marching band at WPI and they move in to the dorms a week earlier than the general student body. That gives them time to practice and prep before the first football game on September 1st (I think). I took Lex dorm room shopping and he has been patiently working through the Road to College to-do list from WPI. I want to buy him all the stuff for his dorm, but he keeps saying no. LOL. I guess I’ll just spend my money on tuition instead!

August 17th

R and I will be taking a trip to New York to visit the Rochester Institute of Technology. College tour number two for him. Well, of the colleges he’s interested in, he came to all of Lex’s tours as well. :) We’ll sneak in a little family fun as well, since we are so close by. He starts his senior year on August 30th.

August 28th

I start my NEW JOB!! Goodbye Dothan Brook School and teaching small children, hello Howe Library and adult readers. It will be very different, but hopefully very great. I’m excited to get started, but even more excited that I got to finish my summer vacation before starting a new job. Life is good.
