Well, it's the last weekend of the summer - wait, did we ever have summer? Well, yes, I think there were a couple of warm days, ate the requisite watermelons, watched the sun go down over the ocean, we had one beach party, and spent one evening with friends in their backyard by their fire pit. Hmmm, guess that was summer. I'm not complaining though, believe me. I loved that it wasn't hot, hot, hot as usual. But, it does make one wonder if come Christmas it will be 90 degrees in the shade.
We have been running errands, went to church last night, BBQd, hit the Macy's sale, found frames for the pictures of Lucy from Oh My Dog photos. I am actually typing this blog on Carrie's new laptop sitting in Dan's room in the recliner with my feet up. Sweet!

Doing Better . . .
It has been five days since our nest became empty again. Dan and I have been to the gym three times, which is good. It is becoming normal to have a quiet house and not run the dish washer daily and to find the washer and dryer free to use. Not that Ashley was a problem, believe me; but these are the simple things I have noticed. Tonight Dan said, "are Ashley's blinds closed?" And, then we decided that they could stay open all night since there are no privacy issues. Hmmmm, wish we had privacy issues.
Please pray for Ashley tomorrow as it is her first day of classes at Cal Poly. She is nervous, but trying to play it down. Everything is suddenly new: her room, her home, her school and even working her same job, but from her little room in the new apartment. She'll get the hang of it and be very glad, I'm sure.
PTL . . . Carrie was hired as a full-time employee at Azusa Pacific University with a new title of Admissions Manager. We are so thankful and very proud.

Hot News
Well, the Lord is alive and working in Carrie's life . . . she has been asked to take on a manager position at work. It will be permanent, way more $$$, and her grad school discount will return! Thank you, Lord! She is excited, nervous and pleased to be considered. We are very proud of her and the reputation she has built at work.
Thursday is Ashley's orientation at Cal Poly Pomona - go Ash!!!
We had a potluck in my department today. It is kinda weird though. Everyone brings all their food at 8 a.m. and puts it out and then everyone eats whatever they want. People were eating lasagna at 8:10 a.m.! Weird! Then, it all sits out all day and people snack, but I gotta tell you those deviled eggs couldn't have still been good by noon without refrigeration. Guess I feel this way as the daughter of a chemist. I took my lunch and didn't partake of the potluck as I am trying to eat RIGHT!
Has everyone seen enough of the Michael Jackson send off? Those poor kids of his - how irresponsible he was to choose a drug-filled lifestyle that ultimately robbed them of their beloved father. I hope Paris Jackson doesn't become another Paris Hilton in a few years. Say a prayer for those children.
