The Countdown Is On!

The countdown is on! Two weeks from today I will be finished with Summer Greek School and preparing myself for 11 days of nothingness!!! Well maybe a few days of nothingness and the rest of the week just enjoying the role of motherhood! Greek School has been good, but very fast paced. Each week my classmates and I struggle to make room in our brains for more memorization...we asked our teacher's assistant what information we could purge (from our brains) to make room for more and he said for us purge all the celebrity gossip! It was funny at the moment, maybe you just had to be there!

Our second count down is to the beginning of school, which for Georgia is Monday August 11; yes this coming Monday! Our new elementary school is Winnona Park Elementary and we had the opportunity to meet the staff and other families and students this past Wednesday night. It was great to see the girls' new school bursting with excited children. Ashley will be in Kindergarten and Devon will be in Second grade. They are both excited, but a little nervous about the newness. Devon and Brianna Hunter will be in the same class, which they are excited about.; Brianna is the daughter of the family also attending CTS from our church Sardis Presbyterian. Although our family will truly miss Elizabeth Traditional back in Charlotte, we are looking forward to the new adventure that awaits us at Winnona Park.

The best thing about this new school is that it is a 5 minute walk from our apartment. Devon and Ashley are thrilled that they can ride a bike or scooter alongside Doug or me to and from school. Rain and yucky weather might yield another story...I'll let you know about that once father winter comes.

We are kicking off this weekend by attending a cook out hosted by our neighbors. SO I am going to keep this post short as I have fresh Georgia peaches just beckoning me to make them into homemade peach cobbler!

Blessings to you and your family. We miss you all!
