Back to school!

The kids started school this week. Tanner is a Junior, Blake 8th grade, Jacob 6th grade, Reid 3rd grade and of course Rylee started kindergarten. I think they were ready to start. Rylee loves her teacher, and has made a new friend, Paige. She was so excited to start school. I kept the smile frozen till she was out of sight. She didn't even look back. Tanner has a pretty heavy load this year, but hopefully can stay on top of everything. Blake is enjoying his math class that he was concerned about at first. Jacob likes being big kid on campus this year. Reid is loving being back with his friends. It appears they all have great teachers so far.

Rylee and Reid started soccer this week. I am coaching Rylee's team. It's pretty funny coaching kindergarten girls. They would rather hug each other and play on the playground than chase after a dumb soccer ball. I'm not sure Ry will keep playing after this year. It's pretty funny.

Tanner and Blake had games this week and are enjoying soccer. I don't think I do so much right now.

I spent a good portion of my week preparing to buy a restaurant here. I think most of you know about that by now. We are buying tomorrow. It has been crazy busy trying to get everything lined up to start there. I've worked a little there learning the ropes. I'll be there every morning from now on while Rylee is at school. Chad will be there during the evenings. We are excited about this new adventure. I know it sounds crazy, but we feel like we've been led along this path and when ever I get cold feet and pray about it, it is confirmed that this is the right thing. It's been a roller coaster of emotions, but hopefully we are about done that part of it.

Chad and I went to Rexburg this last weekend for our anniversary. He had work in Idaho Falls, so I just tagged along. It was weird, we drove all over Rexburg and there was very little that was even familiar to me. I guess I was young and self-absorbed and paid little attention to anything but my little world. I did recognize my apartment, and Chad's, the park where I first asked him out, and the library. That was about it. Sad, really. We walked around the temple there. It's beautiful, almost as nice as ours :) Well, my family is enjoying the night without me, so I think I'll go join them. Oh, I'll post a picture of Jacob ready for his paper route, poor kid can barely lift the bag, and a picture of us after the dedication.
