Yay Fall!

So it's getting to be that wonderful time of year where the weather is starting to turn cooler and you can wear your sweaters and sweatpants again! I love fall!! I love the fact that you don't have to run your air conditioner 24/7 and that I can take Cooper for really long walks without dying. So that's my little tribute to Fall.

Things are going pretty well here. I have been enjoying my time working at DSW still. I actually got a lot more hours this week which is really nice. The substitute teaching hasn't picked up yet, but I did get an assignment yesterday. It was funny there was a half day assignment in elementary school and I went to accept that, but someone already had taken it. So I hit the refresh and there was a high school so I accepted that one without really reading it. It was for 7 am and it was already 7:05 so I called the school and said that I couldn't do the assignment because I technically was already late, and they said that's ok what time can you be here. So I arrived at the school at 8:00 just when the first bell was ringing. I was the substitute teacher for the Junior Cosmetology class. This school had a complete salon in the basement, and these girls start as juniors in this class and they go through all of the steps on learning how to become a licensed hair stylist by the time they graduate high school. Now I wasn't able to really teach them anything so they just practices techniques they had already learned. It was a very interesting day.

Jason is doing really well in his Internal Medicine rotation. I think he definitely likes the hours of this rotation a lot better than the previous two. Yesterday he was home before I was from school. He told me that he doesn't really care for the rotation itself (just not something that he's interested in), but he likes the hours. Having him home more has been really nice. Cooper sure likes it, and it has improved his listening when Jason tells him something a lot more. Jason has also been able to get in quite a few golf games over the weeks. His game is really improving (so he says). It's going to be hard, for both of us, when he has to go back to crazy hours once this rotation is all said and done.

Cooper is doing great! Last week he had a little operation to get neutered and he bounced back from that as if it never happened. He is also officially completely vaccinated. It felt like we were going to the vet all the time for a bit there so now we don't have to go for a year. Although I think I'm going to have to take him to get weighted so I get him the right medicine for heart worm and such. He's growing so fast it's crazy!! He is really enjoying the Fall weather too. He likes to chase the leaves when the wind is blowing and chew on pine cones that he finds during our walks. I really can't wait to see how he likes winter. I think he will go crazy in the snow!

All in all our little family is doing well. We are getting ready to plan for our trip home in December. The anticipation is killing us. We can't wait to see and spend time with our family and friends!
