The Latter Weeks of August

These past few weeks have been craziness!  I started another job, this one at Fotofly.  I do customer service there and I just love it!  But that, on top of my Roots of Knowledge job, on top of SCHOOL that just started.... life has been busy for sure!

I'm loving my jobs and I'm loving school.  It is really great to be back in the art program.  I'm taking graphic design, 3D art, karate, ceramics, museum studies, and a special education course to prep me for the education program I'll be starting next semester.  I've enjoyed all of my classes so far, though some more than others!  Karate is definitely something new for me, and it is so challenging!  Turns out my body isn't very in sync with my mind, so I've had to work really hard for that class, but it has been good for me.

Bailey is doing great!  He switched departments at Womply because he felt really done with sales.  He is in Product Operations and he likes it way more!  He also started night classes which I thought would stress him out, but he's really enjoying them and doing well in all of them.  He's finishing up his generals, but has started a few upper division Political Science classes.  He's starting to think about the internships he has to do for his degree, and that has been kind of exciting!

I can see fall approaching quickly and I'm excited for the season change, but also a little nervous.  Fall is my absolute favorite, but it goes so quickly and then there's winter and I HATE winter!  So I'm trying to enjoy each day's weather, knowing that soon I'll be scraping my windows and freezing to death every day.

Anyway, life is good and we are happy.  Here are some of the fun things we've been up to recently!

Kess, Traedon, Bailey, and I went to get hot pot!  Oh my gosh I have missed hot pot so much!  It wasn't quite like our favorite hot pot restaurant in China, but it was pretty darn tasty.  I was so happy!

Jeff is home!! We were so excited for his homecoming and to see our dear friend!  He absolutely loved his mission, and we loved hearing about it.

That day was also momentous because we got to meet Kylee's fiance!  I am so excited for them to get married in January!  His name is Tad and we really enjoyed getting to know him.  He's really cool!

The solar eclipse happened on my first day at Fotofly.  It was really a great bonding experience, staring at the sun with all these people that I just met.  The eclipse was a little anticlimactic, but still really cool!  There was kind of a weird feeling in the air, and it seemed like everything went quiet.  Also, the shadows were really fuzzy and super crazy.  Check out these leaf shadows!

WE GOT A NEW CAR.  Oh my gosh I can't believe the day has finally come.  Welcome to our family this cute new 2016 Chevy Sonic!  We feel like we are living in luxury with this killer AC!

Also apparently the trunk is pretty cool too, and a good size.  Here are Kess and Traedon hanging out in there!

I love Ayla!  She is freaking hilarious these days!  And super sweet.  Now every time she sees me, she runs to me and gives me a big hug!  Here she is trying to drive my grandpa's side by side.

There was a big event at UVU which pointed everyone in the direction of the Roots of Knowledge Gallery.  For the first time since I've worked there, they've needed the whole team of docents at one time!  We normally work solo, so it was really great to spend some time together and get to know each other!  These ladies are awesome!
