Saturday

Back to School: Freshman Year

It seems like, as soon as our plane landed back in Tennessee, we had to start gearing up for the upcoming school year. But, before we get into that, I wanted to mention the flooding we had on Saturday, July 16. It rained so hard and came down so fast, that we had water half way up our central heat and air unit. The cloud just came out of nowhere and dumped torrential rain right of the west side of Cookeville. 
Once it stopped, the sun came back out and the heat set back in. We had to call the HVAC guy to come take a look at our CH&A unit to ensure that it was okay to run. 
My sister stayed at our house that night too. You are never too old for a sleepover. 
My Sunday, July 17, began with breakfast duties at church, followed by Back to School Shopping with Brooke. 
Darlene stayed over at our house. 
Monday, July 18 was the dreaded "Freshman Orientation". Brookelynn dreaded it because it was at CHS which houses 2000+ students, Stroker and I dreaded it because our baby is entering high school. Where have the years gone? We made it through the evening and Brookelynn felt some relief after comparing schedules with her friends. 
With summer coming to a close, we had our usual back to school bashes to set up equipment for mid week. 

We ended the week on Friday, July 22, with dinner at O'Charley's with Sterl & Deb. Afterwords, we drove to Lake Tansi to visit Lee & Judy. 
I spent Saturday visiting mom while Brooke went to Atlanta to pick up her friend Mary from camp.
