...and I'm back!

Oh my gosh has it been a while since I last updated! Two months shy of a year. Oops.

So a lot has happened during these past eight months - good and bad - but mostly good. We have moved into a new home!! Like, brand new, y'all. Custom home built from the ground up and I couldn't be happier. But a couple of months before our big move Mr. Winey lost his father. Both Bunny and Mr. Winey went through a bought of depression (rightfully so). They are doing well now but his absence is still very much noticed. Moving in to our new home was bittersweet. My FIL was so excited to help us out with the move and have a BBQ for us...

I not only moved into a new home, but also a new job at a new campus. Bunny is also attending the same school I'm teaching at and she is loving it so much. She's so happy, has made lots of friends, and has joined almost every club our new school offers. AND! she's keeping her grades up. A honor roll!! (Proud mommy moment over.)

Bunny is now eight and getting into that Disney fangirl phase and is now OBSESSED with their new made-for-tv-movie Descendants.

She's also started watching Liv and Maddie and is hooked! I tell ya. This past weekend she was able to attend her first concert at our local university to watch Dove Cameron and Ryan McCartan (The Girl & the Dreamcatcher) who are the two stars on Disney's Liv and Maddie. The joyful screaming that ensued after she found out she was going to see them perform live was too cute. Really, it was. 

Here we have Bunny waiting quietly.

The local university hosted this amazing fair for the community called HESTEC (Hispanic, Engineering, Science, and Technology) which is a week-long event where they have activities during the day on campus. On the final day, Saturday, the university has their science labs open for the public and presentations, live creepy/crawly animals and insects, and shows in the planetarium. It's pretty awesome and you should probably check it out if you haven't done so already. It's all about promoting the sciences for our future generation and they make it so exciting and interesting for the young folk. It's a fantastic hands-on learning experience for school-aged children. We totally lucked out this year. So thank you, University of Texas - Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV)!
