WHAZZZZZ UPPPPPP??!

Ok, so it's been a week since I've posted, so I thought I'd catch you up on the Johnson's.  First there is Megan.  She is liking her new school, but getting organized has been a bit of a challenge for her!  She'll get it.  She has her first soccer game on Saturday---9 am!!!  Do these people not know we REST and like to sleep in a bit on Saturdays!!!!  Anyways, I'm excited to get to take some soccer action shots!!  I guess with the game being at 9 am, we should be able to get it over with before Hurricane Ike arrives.  They are now predicting a direct hit on DFW by the storm - which should be tropical storm strength by the time it makes it to North Texas.

Lauren is busy with school and volleyball.  She should start her teaching internship on the 25th.  She will be at Alexander Elem.  This is the school she went to when she was little.  She is enjoying her room, but needs to do a bit more on the putting things away.  Tomorrow night is Meet the Teacher night at the high school.  I'm  going while Mike takes Megan to soccer.  I'm curious to see how i'm treated since I have "jumped ship" and moved on.

Matt is good.  He is really enjoying Waco and his school.  He comes up on the weekends to work and always goes back with a truck load of food and goodies.  You know, mom has to sneak little treats in every now and then.  Last week, Mike decided to make his famous caramel popcorn---it was AMAZING!!!!  Matt got home and saw a little bit left and asked Mike to make some for him, of course he did and he had me buy a roast and made jerky, too.  

Mike is well, he's helping pick up some of the slack around the house with me in school.  He found a guy who has a possible hunting site.  We knew them years ago when Lauren was playing soccer!!  So, he is really excited about that.  The girls and I are really excited, too!!!  Girls weekends!!!!!

I'm good.  I started my new job on Monday!!  I got started and have run into the governmental red tape!!!  So, I've been shut out of the system for a day or two.  So, needless to say, it has been a bit frustrating!!  Other than that, I'm really excited about my responsibilities and opportunities!!  I'm busy with school right now. I'm  UP to my eyeballs with READING!!!!!  I've got to take a field trip to the museum.  I've got to go for two of my classes, so I hope I hear the assignment from both classes so I can kill two birds with one stone.  I start bells on Sunday.  I'm excited to get back into bells.  I do know we are performing two numbers in the choir's Christmas Cantata.  So, I'm thrilled about that!

As you can read, we are all fine, busy, but fine!!!  Have a good week.  Hopefully, I will have some great pictures to post this weekend.

Toodles,
