In August, Kevin, Lexi and I were supposed to go to L.A. Kevin needed to go for a business trip and Lexi and I were going to go with for a little mini vacation but then I found out that teacher-training starts the same week of the trip so now Lexi and I are staying home.

I’m disappointed that we can’t go to L.A. but things are working out pretty well for me too. My mom is coming to take care of Lexi while I have to work and then staying for the weekend. It will be fun to hang out with just her. I can’t really remember the last time I got to hang out with only my mom. The last 2 times she has come here there have been a ton of other people here and when we go back to Green Bay for a visit it is usually for some event so there’s always a house-full of people around. I do like hanging out with the big groups of people and seeing friends and family and all that, but it’s rare that it’s just me and my mom for an extended period of time. So, even though I can’t go to L.A. I’m still looking forward to the mini-vacation at home with Mom.
