Ahhh, What a Summer

I can hardly believe it is August. Well, the thermometer is making sure we are all aware that the dog days have arrived. Still, it is hard to believe how quickly this year has flown. Our summer has been very busy.

Krista spent 5 weeks working on her tennis at Flagler. Her confidence level has risen. She made friends and improved her skills. She has grown several inches. She has decided to learn how to play the guitar. Consequently, I had to learn to string a guitar. I already string tennis racquets, but I found there is a difference. We still haven't gotten the smallest string on as I broke 2 putting them on.

Joanna went to Michigan to help with an Arab festival there. It was a lot of hard work but she had an enjoyable time. She started her first college classes. This has been a little adjustment for her. Her goal is to have her AA when she graduates HS. We will see.

Andrea signed her tennis scholarship with FSCJ. Hopefully, this will be a stepping stone for her. She also received bright futures, so her college will be more than paid for.

Briana is finishing up her AA and Business degree. She has traveled to the midwest to see some of her friends from WOL Argentina. Ahead for her is looking for a college to attend next year.

Jimmy is still teaching in Spanish. He is running also, with a goal to run the Marine Corps freedom 5K while I run the Half Marathon. Running has been tough this summer with the heat.

Home improvements have been abundant this summer. Insulation and many plumbing repairs were made in attempt to lower our JEA bill. I hope to see improvements.

This summer has been a time of growth for all of us and we look forward to what the Fall will bring.
