School

Riley started going to mother's day out 2 days a week after we moved to Lubbock. She absolutely loves it. Her teacher's name is Ms Mary and Riley has so much fun with her. These are a few pictures from Riley's first day.

Fair

We took Riley to the fair today. It was so much fun. We went early in the day so there weren't very many people there. She went to the petting zoo and saw a cow, donkey, goats, sheep, baby chicks and ducks, and a llama. We all got a fair corn dog and Riley ate all of hers, must have been good!

Lobsterfest

This year for the Tech V. UT game we went over to our friends' Carl and Jenelle's hosue and had a huge cookout. They ordered in lobster from Maine! It was so good. They cooked it out in their backyard and we watched the game.

Move

Well, it's been a while since I have written anything. We have been so busy. For starters we moved! It's an incredibly long story that spans about 2 months, so here it is in brief- Rhett found out about a business in Lubbock that was owned by Ingersall Rand that was being closed down. He and several guys have hired many of the same employees and are going to continue to do the same line of work. They repair compressors for natural gas wells, commercial refrigeration units, agricultural needs, pretty much anything that uses a compressor. They have raised capital, started working with a bank and after a lot of anguish here we are. They have ordered all of their equipment and it's all in now. They will have their 1st compressor turned out next week and are bidding on many more already.
We found a new house in Lubbock and moved at the end of August. Riley has started a gymnastics class on Mondays, goes to Mother's day out on Tuesday and Thursdays, and I have started a Beth Moore study of Esther with a friend at her church and we do that on Wednesdays. So we have something to do almost everyday. I will post pictures of the house once everything is put up!
