So Long, Fair Well

Time sure does fly... I apologize to all our "huge" fans out there who have been wondering why we haven't posted in a while. If you DO follow our blog, today is your lucky day. With what little time off I have had, I don't have much time to post on here. August is a month of change for most people. It is usually  month you find that summer starts to wind down, kids go back to school, and we all get excited to see what Fall has to bring in September. For the "Texas" Weigands (as we've been known to call ourselves), August has brought about the completion of our home and Libby starting her new job teaching.

We had the opportunity this month to have some of our former youth join us for a few days at our house as we showed them around Dallas/Fort Worth area and some good times at local attractions. Needless to say, by the end of the week they had had so much fun and excitement that they were resenting going home because they knew that the fun was over and that they would have to start school soon. For most of them, it would be the start of college; a quite exciting yet scary time for most people. Hopefully they took to heart some of our words of wisdom and have started college off right. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!


Libby just starting back to work teaching at her new school earlier last week. Mostly has been a bunch of meetings and information so far along with setting up her classroom. It's always an adventure starting out somewhere new for a teacher. Meeting new people, learning new systems, and most importantly, learning what kind of kids you'll be working with and how to reach them in your teaching. I just pray I can support her as much as she has supported me in my new career. We had fun the other day making posters and setting up her classroom for a few hours. It is fun to see what your spouse does and where they work.

Speaking of where they work and what they do... Libby had the opportunity to fly with me on one of my actual flights this month up to Cleveland. When we landed we took a photo together in the cockpit. As you will see in the photo below, she's in the "bosses" seat... no implications there ;-).


Finally, to end this blog, our HOME IS COMPLETE!!! Grass and all! Well, guess that's not completely true since there is no appliances... BUT, everything is done. Below you will see an update of all the photos along with way.
