Sis and Adam went to Vegas for Sis' birthday! We went over and played with their puppies while they were gone. We also worked on their flower bed with Mama's help! Things looked great when we left! However, the hot Kansas sun may have taken it's toll since then... Stupid sun!
Michael and I added a new family member! We adopted Gabby Lynn (our name, not theirs...) from the Wichita Animal Shelter on June 16th. She's a pointer/blue heeler mix. She was at the shelter as a stay, so we're not sure on the breed or her birthday. They think her birthday is around April 5th, which makes her about 3 months old. Her and Harlee are getting along great! We love her sooooo much!!
Michael and I got a membership to the Zoo here in Wichita. We picked a random day and it turned out to be the perfect day! It was overcast all day and wonderful! Can't wait to head back! Just have to wait for the summer heat to settle down a little. :)
Marianne Steen and Melisa Hancock came to town to present the newly adopted Kansas State Standards, the Common Core Standards. The idea behind Common Core is that in Reading and Math there will be continuity between different states and what they're teaching in each grade level. Marianne and Melisa stayed with us for 5 days while they were in town. They took us out to eat and went around town with us. They also got me into the academy which will hopefully make me more marketable in the job market. We'll see what happens!
Michael had a job (or so we thought) and lost it (technically he wasn't offered one) in 2 days. It was definitely a roller coaster of emotions those 2 days. I was excited to hear that Michael had an interview! Then it seemed to have gone well, because they showed him his desk and discussed pay and insurance! So we were ecstatic that he had finally found something!! They told him they would call him the next day to discuss the details and when he would begin. He called them when he hadn't heard from them and they told him they didn't have the money to hire someone at this point. We were crushed. We've gotten better since then and are back to looking for jobs. Keep us in your prayers.
We went to Topeka for the 4th of July. We saw Nick, Maggie, Nathan, Chelsey, and Payden! (And of course Glenn and Linda) We did all sorts of things while we were in town: fireworks, farmers market, stockcar races, art museum, and 4th of July party at TJ's. We fit so much into our short visit, it reminded me a lot of when we would come to Wichita and would run around to visit all of the family members we were expected to see while we were in town. It was good to see everyone! Can't wait to see them all again!
Today I had a job interview at Belden's Jewelers in the mall. I applied at non-school places when nothing was panning out for me for other jobs. They called me back and set up an interview. I went there today and the interview seemed to go well. I will keep you posted!
That's about all that's going on around here. Love you all!
