September 2022

When we move to a new area, I try to come up with a bucket list of things to do.  This move is a little more challenging because I know we will be here less than a year and there is so much I want to be able to explore and experience.  I made sure we got our Kansas Sunflower pictures. It was pretty tough to find a photographer, as most people book months in advanced. We took these at the end of the season, so many of the flowers were defaced or wilting. 

Bryan and I decided it would be fun and adventurous to do something we wouldn't normally do. Usually we are pretty cautious with our money and don't really spurge on extra things. We bought a Tesla Model X.  A beautiful cherry red with white interior leather seats. Made us feel like we were fancy and rich. Obviously we aren't. However, this only lasted 3 months. O the week of Thanksgiving, Bryan and I were driving to the airport and hit a deer. A buck. Totaled the Tesla. We haven't decided yet if we are going to buy another one in the future.

For Labor Day weekend, we traveled to Oklahoma to hang out with Adam and his family. We went swimming, fishing, and boating. It was a nice break!

My best friend Jennifer turned 40 and invited all her friends to go on a cruise. We dressed up in theme every night- Beach, All White, 1920s. I had a great time and zero responsibilities! 

Kate is excelling in school. She LOVES her teacher Mrs. Goll. This year is a little different for both girls because a lot of the learning is done on the computers. It is much more technology than they were used to with their private school last year. Kate enjoys bringing her own computer home and working on her typing. Now she understands why I found it so important they take a few minutes each day to learn typing the correct way!

At the end of the month, we went to this fun pumpkin patch in Liberty, Missouri called Carolyn's. It was so well kept and much to do. Both girls didn't leaven when it was time to go! I wish we could have gone back, but too much other fun fall stuff in the area.
