This and That

Just thought I would catch everyone up on what's happening in our world. We are three days away from moving and I'm so ready to just be done! We hopefully will close on both houses next week. We are very excited to begin seeing progress at the new house.

A welcome to my mom who has started reading the blog. Guess I'll have to censor what I say (just kidding!). I'm so glad she has finally joined us because this is an easy way to keep up with our lives!

I have survived the first two days of school. I officially have 5 kids this year and they are a hoot. It will definitely be a fun year and they will keep me on my toes for sure! I'll post some pics as soon as I have time.

For those of you who have been waiting....Mindy's wedding pics are finally up. Just click here and type in McLemore and use the password: mindydoug. As Mindy said, "Pop some popcorn and enjoy...There are over 500 pics." They are all great!

Did you know we are 4 days from opening kickoff to the Buckeye football season? Someone I know has been counting down since last season (I'll name no names!). However, since we are moving we have had to go to plan B to see the game (our cable won't be hooked up yet.) We will be hanging out with the Alumni Club in Dallas. It is always an interesting time! I'll let you know how it goes.

Finally, I apologize in advance for not posting in the next week. Hopefully you all understand! When we get resettled I'll update you all. Until then....Go Bucks!!

Can you believe

that we are just a few weeks away from moving? I can because I've been packing boxes for the last week. I'm trying to get as much done as I can before school starts. Whatever doesn't get done will be taken care of by the movers but the more I do the more money I save for furniture in the new house. Speaking of the new house, we are very close to finaliziing the mortgage and getting started. It is very exciting and overwhelming!

I want to take a minute to acknowlege our one year blogiversary! It is hard to believe that I've been doing this for a year. Thank you to all who read and comment. It's been great fun and I can't wait for more! I'd also like to give a shout out to my silent readers (I know you are out there!) and encourage you to leave comments (it is very simple). It is always fun to read your opinions of what is going on in our lives! As for my goals in the next year, I'm going to try to post more frequently. I've noticed I've been slacking this summer. Hopefully with the new house and school starting I will have ample motivations to blog about.

School starts for me in one week. It is hard to believe that the summer is over but I think I'm ready to go back. However, I'm sure a week into the year I'll be needing another vacation! Good thing Labor Day is close!!
