How is it August already?! Summer seemed to go by extra fast this year, and I'll be honest with y'all. There was quite a bit we didn't get to do this year. I'm a little bit sad about that, but the reasons we didn't get to do those things are actually good ones. We moved into a house that feels a lot more like home for our family, and I accepted a new job.

Speaking of that new job, I've spent the last two weeks going through orientation, district-wide training, and a bunch of meetings to prepare for the new school year. Tuesday is the first day back for kids, and I'm as ready as I'm going to get. Alexis is excited to start at her new school, too, and I think she's going to have a really good year.

We spent our last weekend of summer not doing much of anything. It's been go, go, go for awhile now, and both Alexis and I needed a weekend of rest and to get our sleep schedules back on track. I also spent some time making sure I've got everything I need for the first week in place.

I've got a few things to do for the magazine this week, as well, but it's not intense. In fact, I'll probably get most of it done before Wednesday. It's mostly just getting everything set up for the next issue. Then the next week will be when most of the editorial stuff happens. Distribution will happen sometime soon, but I'm not sure when that will be exactly.

Well, that should have you caught up with what's been going on in my life. I promise that I'll find a balance between everything once we get into the swing of school, and you'll be able to expect more regular posts again soon. I hope everyone has a good week!
