Meet the teacher night!

Last night was Alex's meet the teacher night. She has a home room and then seven other classes. Alex is feeling a little overwhelmed and scared to start. She had tears a few times. The school is nice, they have been doing a lot of construction to it and actually the whole school is not finished and ready for school yet. Hopefully in five more days it will be. Alex has been spoiled by the schools we have attended in the past. All of the Forney schools were new and the school in Pensacola was amazingly nice. So here we are back in East Texas and this school is an old cinder block building with the cafeteria, gym, and library on the outside of the building. I think she is a little scared about going and changing classes and just the differences. Oh yeah, and EVERY sixth grader takes band. It is not an option. WOW, I have never heard of that before. Richard and I are so excited about this, otherwise she would not have wanted to join band. She however, is not impressed with learning an insturment. God is good to her, she has two girls in her class that she knows. One is named Emily, she lives right down the street from us, the other girls name is Klaire. Alex met her at VBS. Both seem very nice and hopefully will help Alex feel welcome this year. Kirstin and Kali have open house tomorrow night. I still find it just ridiculous that summer is just about over.
Well it has been raining for days. I am beginning to wonder when our slab is ever going to get poured. I'm trying not to feel frustrated, but truthfully I am. The rain has been great and the cooler weather even nicer, but the walls do seem to close in a little each day in the duplex. I just dream about my new house. It has now rained so much that it will need to be nice for a few days before we can pour so it isn't too wet and the trucks don't get stuck. From what I understand, delays like these are common in the home building world and I have been told to just get used to it. I promise, I'm trying.
