Summer has zoomed by!

This summer has been a lot of fun, but has gone by way too fast! I moved back to Kansas in mid-May and moved in with Brady's boss and his family. I know, it sounds funny...but it has been a huge blessing and a financial life-saver. I have been their nanny for their two little girls- Ella and Mary- the last few months and that has been wonderful. We hang out by the pool most days and play play play...it's hard being a kid (and a nanny hehe)

Mary age 2
Ella age 6

I also have a job at Old Chicago as a server. I am slowly learning the ropes and laughing along the way as I make lots of simple mistakes. I will continue the job into the school year. I will be starting school in mid-August at Johnson County Community College. I will be there for a year-going part time- in hopes of gaining residency so I can attend Kansas University in Fall 2011 with in-state tuition.

Brady and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary this June. We went to a Japanese Steak House for dinner- it was fun to get dressed up and go out on a date :) I am so lucky to have such a wonderful loving man as my future husband! Towards the end of June I got to go see my brother-Ryan- and my sister in law-Bailey- in Florida! It was so much fun to relax and go to the beach. Bailey and I had a lot of "girl talk" which was much needed and Ryan beat me up as any big brother should do haha. My time in Florida passed so quickly and I wasn't ready to leave, but of course I had to get back to my job- darn...they just don't let you take off months at a time very often :/

Brady's parents came out to see us this past weekend. It was great to see them because we don't get to see them very often- just like we don't get to see my parents very often :( I guess that's what happens when we all live in different states. Their visit was short but sweet and filled with chit-chat so we could get caught up on everyone's life. Brady has been busy this summer too. On top of working at The Chamber of Commerce and Longhorn Steakhouse, Brady has started his own Pool Business (Andrew Pools LLC). He has been a "pool boy" all summer and working his butt off to get the pools open and sparkling clean! He is a very hard worker and I am VERY proud of him!
Well, that's all for now...wish summer could last longer but I'm thankful for all the fun I have had thus far! Hopefully I can squeeze in a little more before the summer ends!
