Love it!

I met my principal today and I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am to have to such an up beat mentor! I felt so comfortable when I walked onto the campus and everyone that I had the pleasure of meeting today is so nice and sweet and seemed so happy that we were going to be there for the next 14 weeks. I can't wait to get started tomorrow! I do know that I love my family and I love my soon to be "job" and I can't imagine doing anything else!

Student Teaching Day 1

Today was the first day of the semester which meant orientation at ASU. We spent the entire day sitting through meetings about stuff that we should have learned at least a year ago...but who cares right it is necessary on the road to graduation so I am all for it. My assignment this semester is Kindergarten and 3rd grade at Fort Concho Elementary. I am stoked!!! I subbed there a couple of times last semester and I felt so welcome in the school! I can't wait to get started on Thursday.

~Soooo Conflicted~

Sydney started school today. I thought that I would feel a sense of "okay I get a whole 8 hours to do whatever I please without a 3 year old following my every step..." but I don't feel that way. I feel like I haven't seen her in a week. Shouldn't I be happy and free? I miss her already and it literally has been 30 minutes since I kissed her goodbye at her new class. I am pretty sure that she is not missing me like I am missing her. I want to go pick her up now, but I am going to try and make to at least lunch although I know she should stay until after nap time. I know that school is good for her and that she gets so much out of it, but I still feel bad for leaving her there. Don't get me wrong, I love Trinity Lutheran and I know she loves it. I just miss her.

RAIN!

It was such a wonderful feeling waking up to the sound of rain! I love the smell so I immediately got up opened the windows and took a deep breath. We have definitely needed this rain. It is such a cool, crisp day that I don't feel like doing much. I am excited that it is supposed to rain for the next couple of days, but it is also supposed to rain in New Braunfels on Monday which is when we are supposed to be going to Schlitterbahn. I guess we will see what happens. For those of you also enjoying the rain wohoo! For those who aren't...we'll send some your way!

Painting Pandemonium

So thanks to Emily, I am writing this blog! I decided to change the colors of paint in my kitchen and dining room from a winter amythest (lavender) to mother nature (green). Not only did I decide to change the wall color, but I also decided that I wanted to paint my cabinets off-white since the white that is on there now would not match appropriately with the new color. The first night of my endeavor began by priming the walls with a gray shade so that the lavender would be fully covered and not bleed through the green. After waiting about 1 hour for the primer to dry I started to roll on the green. Fast forward to 15 minutes later and bubbles start to appear everywhere I have painted green. When assessing the wall I notice that the paint is just peeling off kind of like when you have a sunburn just a little more moist. Anyway so I give up and sleep on it. The next day I had sub orientation so I just ignored it until I got home around 5 and then decided to resume. I have now finished with the green and have moved on to the cabinets. I didn't know that so much prep work went into painting cabinets. UGH! What have I gotten myself into. Not only that but being the overachiever that I am I decided that I would spray paint the hardware on the cabinets to look more modern. I haven't even gotten to that point yet. I am hoping to finish the final coat on the cabinets today! Pray that I get through the night with no major problems!

The lazy days of summer.

So today is Tuesday the 12th and I start school in 13 days. I cannot even begin to describe how ready I am to finish school. At this point it isn't just a want, it is inevitable. I love how at night just before Sydney falls asleep she tells me she loves me and then when she wakes up even after an afternoon nap it is "Good Morning Mom!" Noah is growing up and I just can't believe that he will be in 6th grade this year. It seems like it wasn't so long ago that I was picking him up from Trinity Lutheran. Sydney will be 4 years old in December and that is almost unfathomable to me. Anyone that knows her can tell you that she is 3 going on 16. I am writing this from my room with the olympics on in the background. WOW I am totally stoked by the Americans representing...I really need to get going and do something with my kitchen. I am trying to decide what color to paint the walls and what color to paint over the white cabinets. I know this post was a little random, but it was just what is on my mind...

My First Official Blog

Okay so after a couple of hours tweaking and editing this is it. What do ya think? So I have titled the blog The Bobholz Bunch because well it seemed fitting. Surely you didn't think this blog was going to be all about me!? Anyway summer is almost over and it is so hot that I don't think I could stand another month of 100+ degree weather. I will be student teaching this semester at ASU. (WOHOO! Almost done!) Noah will be in 6th grade at Glenn Middle School and has decided to take up band. I think it will be good for him. Sydney goes back to school on the 20th. She has been asking about school since June 1st. She goes to Trinity Lutheran and she absolutely loves it. My husband, Steve, is the Kitchen Manager at Cheddar's and I can honestly say that God broke the mold when he made Steve. He is my best friend. So this is the first of many blogs to come and I am sure that once school starts there will be some great stories to share so stay tuned!
