Latest news happening in the Nicholson household... never a dull moment, thank goodness!!!!

Laurel and Hayley's lease runs out this weekend and the competition for apartments is fierce in the fall here in Athens!!! They will raise the rent on you or challenge you to move! Laurel and Hayley have to come up with an extra months rent to be able to move into a new place! They will be moving in with us for a month or so to save up a bit. The girls (Ellie and Emma) are delighted because they adore the boys girlfriends and know that when the girls are here, their brothers will be here too! One big happy family!!!

Oh, and I played my 5th summer combo match today! Since we won today, we will go into playoffs to see who goes to state! I play in the playoffs on Monday. (Since I can't play on Saturday, they are moving the match up so I can play in it.) Last season one of my other teams made it to the playoffs, but we ended up getting beat and not going to state. Honestly, I don't really get caught up in my teams ranking that much, I just try to do my best in whatever match I'm playing in. Trying to move my swim lessons around to fit my tennis schedule now. Didn't plan on going this far this season. I didn't even know summer combo leagues could go to state. Still learning the game. My coach is always correcting me on my terminology. She asked me the other day how my summer combo matches were going. I told her that I won all my games so far. She looked at me and shook her head and said, "You mean you've won all your MATCHES".  haha, oops!

Lets see, what else, oh yes, Keith's car died on him while he was traveling this week... super stressful!!! $3,300 bucks! Ouch! But it runs like butter now, and cheaper than having a car payment... right??? 

School starts just around the corner. We got the girls school supplies this week with new book bags and lunch boxes. They are so excited!!!! Emma's got a back to school party next week, and Will and Maggie (my precious baby sister's kids) will be spending a few days with us before school starts! Can't wait!!!

Oh, and last, but not least, my parents, and awesome Aunt Betty, and eldest sister, Dawn, are all moving in together this weekend. All our kids will be in Marietta for a family reunion/helping them move! My parents, sisters and their families, and my sweet aunt will all be living within 5 minutes of each other! I feel like an outcast living in Athens, but it will be easy to see everyone in one visit!!! Miss them so much!
