Info Dump!

The summer ended, although you would never know with how hot it has been. The new school year has started which for the Jasper household it means everything gets very busy!
My job's busy season is the school year, most busy being the fall semester with recruitment and event planning and then it really doesn't calm down until mid-March and we wind down to summer and then there is the blessed, blessed break of summer.

Ryan's busy season really is summer with all the traveling but our schedule on Sunday's is very busy during the school year whereas in the summer it is pretty relaxed.

I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED ABOUT THE JUNIOR HIGH MINISTRY FOR THIS YEAR! We have enjoyed the ride at Faith Bible Church so very much and are amazed daily at how God is using this church to bring us closer together and to Him. Ryan does such an awesome job with the students and we have so many fun things ahead- they all start this weekend with a Ropes Course Challenge Day on Saturday followed by our first full Sunday back with our Junior Service kicking-off Sunday night. I am so excited about getting to know our new 7th grade girls and growing closer to our our 8th grade girls that I could just pop- they are all so much fun!

Ryan's classes started back up at seminary last week as well so he has a lot on his plate but so far the classes seem to be going pretty well. We are also doing quite a few weekend trips in the near future, Ryan has a judo tournament next weekend in San Antonio, we love an excuse to get away and I am pretty excited about that! We may be doing a few Austin area trips as well and I also desperately need to get a girl's weekend on the books to see my lovlies who are in Fort Worth.

We have alot of babies on the way that we are so excited to meet! Ryan's brother and sis-in-law have TWINS coming any day now, we are just waiting for the call! We are actually going to spend a few days helping out in the beginning and I am really looking forward to spending time with our gorgeous niece Sophia that we don't get to see near enough, meeting our new niece and nephew and spending some time with Justin and Annalisa!

My sister and bro-in-law are also having a baby in February! It is a girl and we can't wait for her arrival! I am in baby shower planning mode now and loving every minute of it. My Mom and I got to plan a reveal party for her a month ago and it was so fun!

Spoiling all of our nieces and our new nephew are pretty high on our priority list and I am so excited!!

We recently went to an auction in Magnolia and it was so fun!! My wonderful parents fought over the cutest vanity when I lost to this lady that tried to steal it from me and they won! I have always wanted an antique vanity and really couldn't love a piece of furniture more... I only wish I had a ridiculous hoop skirted dress to wear as I sit in it to put my make-up on. We had to rearrange our entire house basically for it to fit well but it was totally worth it :-)

My bro-in-law is going to come do some much needed painting in our house soon and I can't wait!! I had the idea of putting my china pattern on the kitchen wall (it's a really cute red tree) and he is going to fix a really bad paint job we did in our room. I will put pictures up once it's done but we are hoping to get started within the month.

Well I think that is all of the information I am going to dump on you for now! Hope you are all well and are enjoying the "fall!"
