In no particular order:
1) vacation to AL/FL/TN
2) Janie started 1st grade
3) Jacob started preschool
4) Mark and I celebrated our 11th anniversary
5) I started a new (sort of) job - it's sort of a job, not sort of new :)
6) we got new cell phones (go Samsung!)
7) soccer started for Janie and Jacob, including 2x week practices for Janie
I'm going to cover a few of the less labor intensive topics first.
The Anniversary
Elizabeth offered to watch Jacob and Janie Friday night so Mark and I could go out for our anniversary, which was September 1st. :) We went to one of our favorites places, The Chop House. It was sooooo good! I was disappointed, though, that I couldn't have my usual Steak and Cheddar Sandwich, but the Fillet Mignon Oscar was ok in a pinch. :) We're getting kind of boring in our middle age - afterwards we went to CompUSA to look at gadgets. LOL
The Job
You all know about my obsession with Gymboree, well, they sucked me in and now I'm working new line every couple of weeks. Last night was my first night. I'm paid crap, no it's not even crap, it's less than crap - but it's not about the pay, it's about the DISCOUNT! Oh, and getting to socialize with other woman around my age and 8:30 cookie runs after Paradise Cafe marks everything off 50%.
I worked last night from 7:45 to 1:15 - yep 53 boxes of new, wonderful smelling (they do something to them, I swear), cute as can possibly be Gymbo clothes It was a long night after a long day, but it was very fun - the ladies were all great to work with and going through the new clothes is a treat. I came home with two dresses, two sets of socks and a pair of tights for Janie and a set of socks for Jacob - yes, the boy got jipped again.
I got Janie this dress (a size 9, my 6 yo daughter wears a 9) from their Harvest Leaves line, it's gorgeous! I can't wait for her to wear it.
Also this one from Bon Voyage...
The Phones
Right before we left for our vacation on July 31st (the kids and I, anyway) Mark ordered new phones for us. We decided to have them shipped to my sister's house as we would be there for a few days before leaving for Seagrove. Well, they weren't going to make it in time, so Mark arranged to have them delivered to us while at the beach. I think that's so odd... but it was pretty cool! They arrived one day after we had come in because a thunderstorm was threatening. We stayed in the cottage with the kids and played with our new gadgets.
I love my phone... it's a Samsung BlackJack. I'm all about the PDA, it's my backup brain.

Happy Anniversary! Congrats on your new job! I am so sorry that I wasn't able to come down to Chattanooga to meet you when you were in town. I heard it was a lot of fun.
Ooooooooh! Love the phone!! Sounds like a loverly anniversary to me! ;) And so you get paid to go through new clothes that you'd be shopping through anyway? Sounds pretty good to me ;)
Cool phone and such a pretty dress!
We need to see some SeaGrove pics. ;)
