New things are coming

Exciting things are coming! At work, we have been anticipating a new high school for a few years. It's thrilling to be able to say we are in the last phases of construction. 

On Monday our department was able to go inside and see what the classrooms/offices look like. My office is a box - but I think it will work out with a little decoration and a plant or two. It was fun to see a layout of my furniture. I'm not sure if the boxes inside the room are mine, or not, but it helped to see that I have a place. 

Speaking of office furniture, Luke's office chair has been failing for a really long time. So, he and I took a trip this week and got him a new one. He was a super hero loading it into the car all by himself. I managed to assemble it without too much difficulty, but when Luke went to sit down on it the seat was not right. Only after a call to customer support did I realize I had put the seat on backwards. I had a really good laugh at myself over that error. 

I was able to go with a class on a field trip to the bean museum. It was a cold day, but I borrowed a coworkers jacket and off we went. This museum holds so many memories for me because I took the boys often when they were little. It made me a little weepy. 

The last activity for the week was a meeting that we held at the Spanish Fork Fairground. This year, I am instituting monthly Jr Fairboard meetings. We have 15 teenagers on the committee and I'm wanting to make it a bigger deal than it has been in the past. We have our first meeting and I took pictures of a brother/sister who won't be around next month when we take everyone's pictures. Being at the Fairgrounds made me so excited for the fair. It's exhausting work, but very rewarding. I love seeing families spending time together, plus the animals are so adorable!

I ended the week with a walk with my sweet neighbor. I love that I can just text her "walk" and she is always ready to go. On this night the lighting was perfect for capturing the beauty of this tree. 

I can't forget to mention that I made a trip down to Payson on Saturday for Alex's annual graduation celebrations. I always get very contemplative when I visit cemeteries. It's a good place to analyze my life and where it's headed. On a scale of 1-10 I think I'm around a 6. I have so much to be grateful for.
