quick update

I know that I have been slacking terribly here at my blog.
And now here it is mid-November. Where has the time gone, honestly?
Summer literally flew by. I worked just about every week all summer, taking 2 weeks off. It wasn't until probably August or September that I started complaining about the heat. After so many months I was just ready for something other than 100+ degree heat. I was happy even if it was 98! It is perhaps a bit sad that I can tell the difference now between 110 and 98 degrees.
My school (where I work) started the Fall semester the last week of July, and things are going well. I am learning how to do some book-keeping and it is a good skill to know for sure. I have had to figure out the software which I am pretty comfortable with, but some of it just isn't making 100% sense all of the time. But I do feel like I know what I am doing with it, so that is a huge plus!
Larissa and Seth are able to come with me Tuesdays and Thursdays, so that is nice. I am so very grateful to have them with me 2 days a week. Just having them in the building with me so I can peek at them every now and then is huge for me.
Sara and Joseph started school mid-August and I am very happy about their teachers this year and they are both doing very well in school.
Steve is trucking right along with his school studies. He should, as long as everything continues to go well, be able to get his Associates this coming spring. But he will need to continue with his studies, so it will be a while yet. But it's going well and he is doing awesome!
For Halloween (pictures will need to be posted in a different post), Sara was a vampire-witch, Joseph was a ninja, Larissa was a spotted tiger and Seth was Woody from Toy Story.
I also dressed up for work. I donned a long black wig and said I was a vampire.
We did trunk-or-treating at church and then did hit a few houses in our neighborhood.
Well, of course there is more to update on, but this will have to be it for now, I think... Pictures coming up in a seperate post.
