Fall is setting in

So now that fall is setting in, I am able to sit back and reflect on what has happened the last few months. I started a new job as a speech therapist in a high school and I am absolutely loving it! It seems as though the freshman just get younger and younger and more immature as I get older. I have 54 kids on my caseload that I see every week (it definitely keeps me busy). Having that many kids on my caseload makes the weeks fly by. Lauren is a few precious months away from finishing residency and life is going by quickly. I remember dropping her off for her first day of medical school back in August of 2000. Six years later, she is almost done with all her training and her crazy hours. Can't wait!

My youngest brother Andrew, turned 19 years old...meaning that there is one teenager left in my family (that's seems weird). Lauren's birthday is next month and we are planning on a fun weekend in Santa Rosa, CA up in wine country. We also have a weekend trip scheduled for November to head down to Monterey, CA for a pediatric conference that Lauren is attending (I just get to enjoy the hotel and amenities). Before I know it...Thanksgiving and Christmas will be here and it will be time for the College Bowl Games.

Something else exciting happened...I got my first coaching job. I will be the head coach for 8th grade boys basketball at a middle school right down the street from the high school that I work at. It should be a lot of fun.

Besides all of that, I am sitting here watching the St. Louis Cardinals win the World Series! Go Cardinals!!
