SUPER EXCITING NEWS FLASH!!!!
Wow! What a great Monday! It's not often you can say that, but this Monday has been exceptionally great. I sent all of ya'll an email, but in case anyone missed it, Aaron was offered a job at DBU today. His starting pay is $62,000 a year. On top of that they are going to give me a scholarship for grad school so that I don't have to pay for any of my classes. On top of that, we'll be able to go spend the whole month of July in Colorado! I am so excited to get to visit friends and family and to get out of the horrible heat in Dallas. We had our first 100 degree day yesterday. Getting off subject.....anyway, thank you all for praying for Aaron through this whole process.
ON TO OTHER NEWS
I have been working pretty hard on my online classes this week. The pictures are pictures of different projects I've done for my photoshop class. Nothing too impressive yet, but I'm really enjoying it despite having to do tons of work in a short amount of space. Hopefully I'll be really good at all this stuff by the end of the semester. At least it has been fun for the most part besides the headaches induced by having to stare at the computer all day, every day.
We went to a birthday party for David Gregory in Denton this last Saturday. It was really fun. We grilled hamburgers and got to meet some of David and Beckie's friends from church. David and Beckie had just gotten a new Dodge truck. David needed it for his job. Their kids were well behaved and adorable as usual.
Aaron has gotten another teaching contract since last time I wrote. A lady that was teaching a night class at Brookhaven ended up having some kind of personal issues (we think alcohol) so he ended up taking over her contract. So he is getting a whole contract for 2 weeks of work. The only downside is that it is every week night until 10 o'clock so I won't see him hardly at all until the end of the month. But he really wanted to teach this class and the students are going to have to have a lot of help. They did not even have a syllabus when Aaron taught class for the first time last Friday. Crazy! I think I might hang out with Tricia a couple of nights and of course I can always work on class and other things I need to get done around here and draw. So I will be able to keep myself pretty busy.
I am going to go to Wal-Mart either tonight or tomorrow and buy some curtains. Aaron and I have come to the conclusion that we need curtains to help keep the sun out of the house and also for while we are gone to cut down on heat getting into the house. We have some blinds but they don't do anything to keep the sun out of the house. They have these curtains at Wal-Mart that look nice and they are made out of a special material that is supposed to keep 99% of light and heat from coming through the window. It's got to help some. It will be a little pricey because our windows are huge, but not as pricey as the ac bill.
Stay cool!
