the real post

Addie got into my makeup! Busted much?

I have been so busy! I have a salon in our apartment, and i am the hairstylist to almost all (not an exaggeration)
of the summer starters at the law school. I have been so happy to be
bringing in some money. It's a really awesome position for us to be in.
I bought a hydraulic chair off craigslist
(a salon was re-doing the decor) and a huge framed mirror at the
goodwill. I have yet to lay my floor down but that sounds like a good
project for conference weekend.

I also was called to be the nursery
leader (oh joy!), and now i may not know anyone over the age of two in
our ward but i am a hit with the toddlers. Addie comes with me every
week and she loves it! Our ward splits up our nursery so we have the
older class and the younger class and they switch halfway through to go
have a "lesson". I stay in the main room and let them play and do
snack. So that means Addie's schedule goes something like, play with
the younger group, have snack with the younger group, have snack
(again!) with the older group and then play with older group. life is
pretty good in her eyes! It will be nice to have served this calling and be done with it. I figure they will have to release me one way or another by the end of this year because we spend the summers abroad or on an internship.

The weather is better, now that the summer is over. I wish it was cooler than it is but eh. I miss having some kind of seasons.

Ryan is doing really well at Duke. He is in the top half of his class, which is awesome! Since they aren't allowed to share their gpa or class ranking with other students, i do my digging since the honor code doesnt apply to me. And now that i am the hairdresser for almost all the international law students, i get the dirt!

The Summer in Pictures!

We had a blast this summer Hawaii, Utah, California, Memphis (graceland) and we saw almost all of the lower for 48! Addie turned one and got even cuter. A real update soon

we will be getting Internet in our apartment on the 11Th! I am so stoked. I will then upload pictures.

Tonight we were watching an orchestra on t.v. (one of those PBS things) not only did Addie love it she started copying the conductor! She is the most precious little thing!

Hanna schmanna

It wasn't too bad! No damage to any of our belongings. Tons of flooding but not in our apartment complex... and tropical storm winds ain't got nothin' on those Santa Ana's!

But this is not the end of the hurricane season!

Oh my Hannah!

Oh my Hanna!

So after getting a Hurricane do's and dont's letter on our door issued by our apartment complex, we decided we needed to get prepared!

It sounds like it wont be a hurricane by the time it hits us thought, however it will still be a tropical storm (which is almost just as "fun"). We are suppose to be prepared for a possible power outage and flooding and thunderstorms. It sounds like some people on the coast have evacuated already. But Ike, our next visitor, is supposed to be worse. (oh joy!)

So I went to dollar general to pick up some flashlights and batteries but they were all out! Fortunately a few Christmas's back my parents bought Ryan and me 72 hour packs. So in the off chance that it gets "that" bad we will be prepared. But i did buy two flats of water from Costco and some water jugs to keep the toilets flushing and plenty of canned goods just in case. Hopefully we wont need it but who knows!

Pray Hanna passes us by... along with Ike and whatever else mother nature has in store ( i really hate north carolina!!)


Hit me again Ike!
