Where do my weeks go?

So I'm thinking the exhaustion is slowly coming back to me in my third trimester. I've been trying to stay real upbeat so that maybe I wouldn't notice it. This week is my last week off before school starts. I have to say I'm a little sad!! I did however get a ton accomplished, but I still have so much more I'd like to get done.

On Monday I met Mom and Dillan in Temple and drove with them to College Station so that Dillan could have a tour/look around Texas A&M-I so love that place. I get chills and a rush that comes over me when I just drive into that town. I have to say those years were amazing and I wouldn't change any of them (well maybe the first girl I moved in with-for those that remember snake girl). Anyways I really want Dillan to start thinking about schools and so I've researched a ton of stuff for him to get involved in, and what classes he needs to make sure he's in these last two years of high-school. He's not liking that I'm making him take Spanish 3-but I'm pretty sure he'll thank me later! So we took a tour-I even saw things I'd never seen, such as inside our academic building-Did you know that every state has a replica of the Liberty Bell and they are all in the state capitols except Texas. Ours is in the academic building at Texas A&M. Crazy huh! We had a great time and I can't wait to go back!

On Tuesday I attempted to finish scrapbooking on two books that entailed trips from 2 summers ago. I have to say I am down to just working on a FAMILY book for Kevin and I. I usually do books based on trips, however I'm going to start running them together. Not putting as many stickers etc. on each page to fill up an entire book. We shall see how this goes. I do realize I need to get on this ASAP b/c I'm about to not have ANY time! I've at least got the pictures cut and ready for action!!

Wednesday I organized again-yes I never noticed how our pantry didn't really make sense until yesterday. So it does now. I got rid of A LOT of things that were out of date..that's bad to think I had it, but with moves things get pushed to the back and for some reason newer ones get put in front and you don't see the out of date brownie box learking in the dark. I then re-organized my laundry room/craft room- however most of my boxes of crafts are in the study hidden in the desk-but it is officially clean!! And I finished painting a stool for Tristin, some boxes to store things in for him, and Jana's gift for Kaiden! I enjoy doing these things-but BOY am I tired! I so very wanted to actually CLEAN the house-but that will have to wait.

Thursday-I am up and about-I have a few things I need to get done this morning(clean the house and myself), and then Kooper and I are off to visit Taylor and Kendall for the afternoon. I haven't seen them in a few weeks and miss them both dearly! I have to get back b/c my family (boys) are coming in tonight. They are headed to the coast for a fishing trip with Kevin, while the girls are in Hamilton at Tristin's baby shower!! I am looking forward to seeing people I haven't seen in a LONG while!! We need to have more reasons to get together so we can just hang out!!

Well I've babbled on quite a bit. I hope you are all having a wonderful week!! I'm off to finish it and start a new week-with lovely GT training!! YIPEEEEEEEEEEE
