August (what a crazy month)

Link and I have had a crazy month and I'm glad that the month is almost over. We started out having a fabulous time at my friend April's wedding where we met some great new people. It was in Oklahoma so Link was able to meet a lot of my old friends :).

The Tuesday after the wedding Link's grandad had a heart attack. He flat lined and they brought him back, flew him to Lubbock and put a stint in his heart. He is doing amazingly better and got to go home after a week at the Heart Hospital .

My month (besides the heart attack) has been exciting because I got a job as a rehabilation aide at Covenant Hospital. It's great because I'll get paid for getting my observation hours for Physical Therapy school. I'd put my application in July and never heard anything back and then they called on Thursday, interviewed on Friday and was hired 2 hours after my interview!! It was such an unexpected blessing! I've also started doing Mary Kay as a side job and I now have a website so people can order online!! If you would like to look at it, go to www.marykay.com/monicablevins .

Link has been running around crazy for the past month. We have a youth group retreat this weekend. It's actually the biggest event of the year for our youth group. It's in the mountains of New Mexico (yes, New Mexico has pretty parts as hard as that is to believe) at a camp called Blue Haven. We leave Friday and don't have to come back till Monday thanks to Labor Day. I haven't started my new job yet but hopefully I'll get to start it when I get back from the retreat.

That's what is happening in our lives. . . maybe I'll get better at this blogging thing. . .
