July in a nutshell

We've been busy this month!  Our big news this month is that we both found out that we are changing jobs!  Aaron recently started a new job and he will be working from HOME!  He will be traveling a lot more, but he doesn't have to drive to Arlington every day anymore, and I will get to see him more when he is here.  I found out that I will be a reading specialist for Thurgood Marshall Elementary next year - right down the road from Skyview!  I am really excited to get started!  Here is the rest of the month in a nutshell...

We celebrated Brinley's upcoming arrival with Kim's Dr. Seuss baby shower!

We went to Galveston for the 4th of July with the Martins, McAdams, and Westbrooks.  We got an awesome condo, and had a blast!

 
We spent 8 hours at Northpark waiting in line and seeing the new Batman movie at midnight.  We are getting a little old to be able to stay up that late (ha!), but it was actually a really fun night!

We went to Gruene for the weekend to celebrate Carter's 30th birthday! We had a blast floating the river, eating at the Gristmill, and taking another road trip with the McAdams!

I got to go to Houston for Sarah's bachelorette party!  We had a blast staying at Hotel Icon and going out in midtown.  Always so happy to see my 707b girls - we missed you Adi!

And we have cheered on the Rangers each chance we get - we get to watch pretty much every game and even though they are going through somewhat of a slump, we are super hopeful for October!

I have tried to keep busy with other things too - I took a week to completely clean and decorate our house while Aaron was in Colorado for training.  It was a huge project, but so nice to keep me busy while he was away.  I try to get to Camp Gladiator every weekday - that has been a huge blessing to me this summer.  I haven't lost any weight (still need to get the eating part of dieting down), but I feel like I am in much better shape than I started in this summer, and I know it is always easier for me to eat better when I am on a set schedule (school year).  And a side note - I plan on bringing back the Biggest Loser blogging recaps when the new season starts in January.  That was always motivating for me!  Thanks for reading, friends!
