Vic and I just got back from a road trip. We drove to Denver, then to Midland, then home. We were gone 8 days. That's about as long as I can be gone without being so homesick that I swear I'm never leaving again. But we had a great time. We stayed with William in Denver, well, Lone Tree, CO, and saw Vic's Mom and sister who live in the area as well. We stayed with Meestee in Midland, of course. We shopped and ate Taco Villa and sat outside. A good time was had by all! Vic had an especially good time playing with Davis. We also had a family dinner w/ the fam damnly at Cheddars and then went to Meestee's. It's weird that we used to sit at Nana & Pa's house and then Denise & Huck's and NOW Misti & Danny's.
I only took two classes this summer, but one of them, taught by the head of the program, required a 95% to get an A. Grades posted last night and I made two A's. Making my GPA a 3.9...I made two B's in rehab MS classes back when I first started. But I have a 4.0 in my MS of Special Education program. I'm smarter than the average Amanda, if I must say so myself. I only have 3 classes left to graduate and that won't happen a moment too soon!
School starts back next week, kids start on the 27th. I'm ready to start back. I'm really excited about this year--teaching 3rd grade resource and all. Of course, you wouldn't know that I was ready to go back by looking at my classroom, which is pure chaos. I moved rooms again and everything is just sitting up there in boxes.
As probably all of you know, Vic and I got remarried on June 8th. I was hoping that my grandparents did not know. They are not the most understanding people and are rather set in their ways. That's one of the reason's I haven't talked about it much on here. But they now know, they aren't thrilled, but I suppose they will get over it.
In related news, back in June of 04 I blogged about not being excited to go to Aimee's bachelorette weekend in Lubbock because Vic had just told me that he wanted a divorce and my whole world was crumbling down. I, of course, went and didn't talk about what I was going through as not to steal her thunder. With the exception of telling Leah while there. Well, apparently she has just stepped into the 21st century and begun reading blogs, dispite my sending her and everyone else the link back when I started it in 2001. She sent me just the paragraph that I wrote about it on Myspace about a month ago. I wrote her back and she didn't respond. So just to clear up any confusion, I was only not excited because I was really sad, not because of Aimee or any other bitchy reason.
