How does time go so fast?

Here is it almost the middle of August already. We are in "get ready for school" mode now. The girls and I went shopping in SLC on the 1st and that was fun, but very tiring. We only went to Gateway Mall. We left at 8:30 AM and were actually back home by 7:45 PM. Are you impressed. Doesn't take to long to spend a lot of money!! Melanie has been saving her babysitting money all summer and she did some good shopping. She got 5 pairs of pants and a bunch of shirts and hoodies. Did not find shoes, so she had to order some of those online after we got home. Jenna got several shirts and we actually found pants for her in Burley. They are thinking that they would like school to start and go just long enough to wear their new clothes, then have a vacation again. LOL isn't that just like teens?
I am busy with stamping. I have 3 clubs going this year. 2 will meet each month. I am excited about that and hope I can keep them loving it and learning new fun things. I am also busy working on a retreat I'm doing in October. If it works well, Lois and I are thinking we'll try to do another one in the spring. Lots of work and Loads of Fun!!
Sean (my 3rd son) threw me a curve last week, letting me know he has decided to become an Orthodontist. So instead of being done with college after 1 more semester, he has LOTS of semesters and lots of money to GO. But he is a very bright young man and I know he can do it if he wants to. Too bad all the kids will already be through braces by then - maybe we could have gotten a discount?!!
Ryan and Sami are doing well, setting up their apartment and enjoying being married. They are so cute together.
Jacob is hanging in there. He is working hard at his program and we are hoping we can visit him over the Labor Day weekend. We are waiting to hear if we are approved to visit. I know that would encourage him. He is homesick. I miss him too.
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope to have some fun pix to post soon.
