Summer Texas visit

Our summer feels like it is just beginning but is actually rolling to a close quickly. Jake and I both worked most if June and I have one week left at fedex next week. We are so ending two weeks in Texas visiting family before we both set up new classrooms. Jake has transferred to a new school and I am preparing for my first year if teaching. We spent four days in Houston (including going to the beach in Galveston) and are currently in Odessa, where days are filled with swimming and looking at tarantulas, and nights are filled with movies, dancing, and cousins. Jake has tried to visit his grandma regularly bad the kids are having fun with the cousins.
