First Day of School! First Day of School! It's been a great summer and this is a school year of big changes so we're excited/nervous for today...you'' find out why below...
Grant starting the year strong in 3rd Grade!
Sam starts 6th grade - 1st year of Middle School!
S at STEM Magnet school with his BFF's Harlon and Teancum
He absolutely loves this school! First time since 2nd that he's been happy to go to school each day.
Lillie starts 8th - her last year of middle school!
Isaac - super sad to be left behind :(
So Tim has been looking for a new job since April. We knew that we'd likely be leaving San Antonio but just decided to go slow and follow the promptings of the spirit. After interviewing all over the country and turning down some jobs that were great opportunities but just didn't feel right we accepted a job offer in Austin, TX. Super close to home! Unfortunately not close enough to stay in our house, schools, and ward that we love so much :(
Tim accepted the job offer while we were on vacation in Arkansas. Since it was such short notice before the start of school we decided to just go slow. We made a definite plan to start the school year here in SA. The same day these kiddos started school Tim started his job up in Austin at Hot Schedules. For now he is living in Austin M-Th and coming home Friday evening. We're getting the house ready to put on the market and hoping to move up to Austin before Thanksgiving to have time to get settled in before the holidays. Lots of changes! We know this school year will likely be especially tough having to switch schools mid-year. We are so excited for S to have at least a little bit of time at STEM. He has been so excited to go there and we feel it's going to be a completely different experience for him.
Good luck this year in school everyone!
