I think I owe you all (y'all) an update on what's been happening with Collin and I. Collin is really enjoying his job at GM as a software developer. He basically analyzes error reports and documenting scripts. He has really great co workers. His supervisor is really laid back which makes his job easier. :) He has test driven a few of GM's modeled vehicles, like the camero. :)
What's going on with me, you may ask? Well I wasn't working all summer, but I just got a job about a few weeks ago as a nanny! It's part time, so I work about 3 hours a day. I nanny for 4 children that are between the ages of 7-12. As many of you know, it was back to school time recently. Since these kids have just gone back to school, they need someone to transport them from school to their homes. On some days, I have to take them to soccer or cheer leading practice. I guess you can say, I have become a soccer mom. :) It has been a really good experience so far.
I just got a calling in our ward as a primary teacher! (I knew I was going to get a primary calling... :) ) I teach the CTR 4 class. I absolutely love it! The kids in my class are very sweet and smart. They make me proud. :) There is also another girl who helps me out in my class which makes it very nice. Collin really likes his calling as Sunday School First Counselor. There is only two people in the Sunday School presidency so far, but that will change soon. We really like our ward. It's really warm, friendly, and not to mention, HUGE! We've already made some great friends.We love the Austin area. We have found that there is so much to do here. Here's the photos about our recent adventures...
I am probably obsessed with Sunsets, but Texas has some of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen! This was from Lake Pflugerville. Collin and I were having a picnic.
More sunset pictures... This was taken right next to our apartment! I love my canon camera! :)
Did anybody get slight case of deja vou from the Lion King?
Experimenting with long exposures on my Canon EOS. This was taken at 20 seconds...
It's amazing what you can get with long exposures. This was taken at 30 seconds..
Taken from my smart phone
Oh... and we got a new fish tank. We decorated it ourselves. It's an ancient civilization theme with real plants.
Our fish!!! Collin has always wanted a beta fish, so we got one along with neon tetras. (we originally had 5 neon tetras, but one died. :( ) We even have two shrimp, and apparently one of them had two babies... Our community tank keeps getting bigger! Our original pet fish Syrena is in Utah with a good friend of ours. We miss her, but we love our new fish friends.
We had a fun rest of our summer just exploring more of the Austin area. This was at Lake Pflugerville with some friends from our ward.
Before I started work, I had extra time to have girl's days with some friends. :) This was at Barton Springs near Downtown Austin.
Our friend Hailey from our ward. She's so fun! :)
Another good friend from the ward. This is Velvet. She's amazing! :) This was taken at an ice cream sandwich place called Moojo (Moments of Joy). We love it there! They even have swings for seats which made me laugh. :)
Next blog to be continued.... :)
