Where is summer going!?!?!?

Hi Friends!

Wow! It has been a while since I’ve posted. It has been a BUSY summer for the Christensen family. My hubby started a new job this summer, so we’ve been trying to get adjusted to the new schedule. I taught Summer Skills at school, and have been tutoring a few kids, so I too have been busy! I hosted a baby shower at the house, which meant that I did a few ‘extra’ home improvements (or keep-ups) that needed to be done. It is nice to have parties at your house like this every so often because it forces you to clean! J We also managed to make it down to a College World Series game. What a blast! It was sad to see the old stadium go, but AmeriTrade is a beautiful stadium, and it is neat to see so many new traditions being made.

And this weekend we’ve been busy with family in from out of town to celebrate my wonderful grandmothers 95^th birthday! What a wonderful woman she is! I can only hope that I live to be that age, and am still able to get along like she does! I feel so blessed to still have her in my life! J

I must admit thought that I think I might be slightly addicted to my job. Somehow, I manage to find something ‘schoolish’ to work on ALMOST every day. I have found that I can’t just sit on the couch. I have to be doing something as I sit on the couch. (I know, I sometimes think I am a little crazy too! J) But, because of this, I have got a lot accomplished off of my ‘To-Do’ list that I made for myself for the upcoming school year!

One goal that I’ve had for myself though that I am yet to accomplish is trying to figure out darn Google Docs. I’m sure it is probably more ‘operator error’ than anything, but I’m struggling with it! A bunch of the amazing blogs that I follow, they are all able to post documents they’ve made with their cute fonts and borders. Me? Nope. Can’t figure it out. Every time I try it won’t let me put anything up and reformats everything I’ve done. Needless to say, I’m starting to get slightly frustrated with it. If anyone knows anything about Google Docs and can walk me through the process, or would be willing to show me I would be SUPER appreciative!

I hope that you all are having a wonderful, safe summer! I can't wait to see everyone again in a few short weeks. Be sure to enjoy the time you have left of summer! Don't forget to keep working on all the skills you worked so hard on in first grade.

More soon!
