It's August 30. Somehow the entire month of August has flown by, along with students coming back to campus, my second round of teaching University 101 starting, training 20+ graduate students how to do what I do (meet with students on academic success issues), and a ton of random other adventures.
Ashley and I have been home to Ferguson, NC, to say goodbye to our New Zealander friends, Sally, James and baby Jack Clendon; we've been to Saluda, NC, with Witney and Tim Fisher, where we thought about going tubing on the Green River but didn't; we had a Friday night party that was a lot of fun; and we were at Litchfield Beach this past weekend with some of Ashley's friends.
Work feels like organized chaos. Home life sometimes feels chaotically organized. But overall, I'm doing well. Our internet connection has been spotty at home so I haven't been able to upload photos to this site in a while...but I promise to get back to that soon. Maybe this Labor Day weekend will be good for that. If I can just get out on the lake on Saturday without Ernesto blowing away those plans, I'll be a happy Aquarius.
Buenos tardes, amigas y amigos!

Jumping through July...catching up
Somehow July has flown by and it's the 17th already. We've been in Gilbert for this month, enduring the heat but enjoying ourselves. One evening we rode around Ashley's parents' house and took some photos on the golf cart. 
Our beloved Max relaxing for a bit.
The golf cart is always a source of entertainment. This is probably one of my favorite pictures of Ashley because it captures him in his craziness (that's why we're a good fit).
Fourth of July in Gilbert is a HUGE holiday because of the annual Gilbert Peach Festival. Because of our involvement with the Webelos/Cub Scouts we helped a lot. We started the day off pulling the float (designed by Ashley--and the 2nd place winner in the civic non-professionally decorated category). It was a camping scene, complete with a tent and fire.
The younger boys rode in the back of the flatbed truck and pretended to be fishing.
After the parade, we helped with the Car Show. Here's my favorite entry: Herby!!
