Finally Summer!

It has been so nice out the last couple of days that it finally feels like summer - I love it! 
We have had a busy few weeks. Last weekend it rained most of the weekend.  Finally one of the nights, we were tired of being in the house so we went over to Orman fishing in the rain.  When we got over there, Dennis and Owen were there.  They had caught 2 walleye...we never did catch anything that night.  We did go back out the next day too - it wasn't quite as bad out - but we still didn't catch anything - but at least we got out of the house!
 We now have our fence put in for the backyard.  We just had to put it along the back and a couple of gates connected to the house as our neighbors both said we could use their fences for the sides!  We are so appreciative that our neighbors let us do that! It saved us quite a bit of money!!  There are a couple spots that we will need to put some wood in the corners so Eastyn doesn't get out..plus we need to put stairs off our deck - then Eastyn will have a yard to play in!
She is getting so big - I'm afraid she's going to end up being a big lab.  She is definately turning more into a puppy as she's way more energetic and will put anything she can in her mouth.  A couple days after I was home I asked Mike if he could please take her to work with him as I needed to get some things done! Everyone says just wait until you have kids if you think a puppy is hard!  The difference is I know how to take care of kids - I've never been around a dog in the puppy stage!  We absolutely love her though!  We took her over to Orman and had her play in the water.  I do have one video of her fetching in the water.  I'm not sure why the sound didn't come through on it.  After I took this video - she actually went out deep enough she had to swim the next time.  I didn't get that on video though!
This past weekend, I have had a couple of Norwex parties and Mike played in a softball tournament.  We have been trying to figure out when we can go camping and it seems like all the weekends are all so busy! I hope to get out camping soon though!
Tomorrow I start teaching the Bridge Program at the High School. It's just Monday - Thursday in the mornings so it still leaves most of the day open to do other stuff!
I have some big changes coming for next year.  In the Fall, I will teaching 4th Grade Special Education in Belle Fourche.  It's not offical until June 14th when the school board will release me from my contract.  To make a long story short, I told my boss from day 1 that I was applying.  The interview couldn't get scheduled until after contracts were due.  Contracts were due on a Tuesday. Thursday was my interview - was suppose to know by the following Monday - and ended up getting offered the job Thursday by noon!  It is as big change for me - but we think it will be a good change. I will miss all my wonderful co-workers but hopefully I will still see them!  All I have ever known is high school so it will be an adjustment - but I'm very excited for it.
