Stress

So it is only the second day back to school and I can't help but feel a little like the cat in this picture. Hopefully my hair will relax and so will my nerves about this crazy semester. I decided that I will be glad when school is done, and I don't have to listen to teachers say "I don't mean to belabor this point but..." for three hours every night.

Kansas City

Well since my husband has been gone for the last three months I have found lots of time to do some serious thinking. And while he has made a great sacrifice for our little family by going to the Midwest for such a long time in the middle of the hot and humid summer, I have got some things to say... I want my husband back! He comes home in 10 days and to say the least I CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGER! So Kansas City, if you are listening, will you please return my husband, Kyle Butler, asap.

Shark Week

I have to say that "Shark Week" was on Discovery Channel this last week. I am also going to admit that I am addicted to anything related to sharks. As gross, sad, and interesting as it all is, I can't help but watch every minute of it. And each year after I do, I know why I am always a little creeped out when I swim into the ocean and let my feet dangle for all these predators to have a chance at.

California Love

Our California vacation with the family was so fun. We got to relax on the Del Mar beach, go to Lego Land, and enjoy some deep sea fishing! It was the week I was looking forward to all summer, and now I am longing to go back. My brother got stung by a sting ray but lived to tell about it. I am just glad we didn't have a run in with any sharks.
