Exciting News

On Friday September 9th, 2011 Josh and I were headed to Garden City, KS to watch his youngest brother play football. Here is a little insight to Josh's family. He has three younger brothers and one sister. All of the brothers have worn the number 24 in football and each has seen success with that number. Over the last 10 years or so the jerseys have change but the name associated with the number on the jersey has stayed the same. Well, this is the last year that the Lamb name will represent number 24. So, it is a big deal that we make it to every game we can to watch Zach carry on the famous 24. Well, back to my story about Friday night. Josh and I were somewhere around Salina when I started to complain about not making it to the game on time. I thought we were going to miss the game entirely and had become super frustrated. Josh, the level headed one in the relationship, placed a box in my lap and ask me to open it. I became extremely nervous, started to ask questions, and demanded answers. Turned out the poor guy just wanted to PROPOSE!! Can you believe it? He asked me if I'd marry him and I of course said YES, with that we were engaged!!

Gettin Busy

I know it's been a while since I've written anything on here at all, but so much has happened. School started and we were running from the start. This new group of kids have a lot more personality than the last group and they definitely know how to dish it out. I can tell that I'm going to need a "cool down" of my own on a regular basis. So far I haven't been able to locate my "cool down" spot, but I'm sure it will envolve some type of exercise or a glass of wine. I have also started my first semester of grad school! I was so excited to start and now I'm so excited for this semester to be over. I've learned so many new things, that it's hard to keep everything straight. As always I'm loving the challenge.

Josh has had some good news at work! He will hopefully have a new route at the end of September, due to his hard work and lack of complaining!! We are both excited to know that hard work still pays off, you don't always have to kiss ass to move up the ladder at work.

Deacon is the proud owner of a new fence! In August, my parents came to Topeka and we (meaning dad and Josh) built a brand new privacy fence for the dogs! I love walking up to the house with the smell of cedar lingering behind. Of course the fence building was not easy. We were lucky enough to find some more bricks and gigantic roots from the numerous trees in our backyard. What should have taken a day to build took 2.5, but it's beautiful. If you're ever bored you should come see it and breathe in the nice cedar smell!!
