1. We are entering a different season of life, one that i often dreamed about but never realized how quickly it would come. And to be honest, I am not entirely sure how I feel about it.  All the kids have current jobs and are at home less than me. Lily just graduated from college and is working a full time job and also many side hustles, Kendall is a junior, who works during the school year one day a week at the YMCA as a lifeguard. Zach started taking classes for his lifeguard training and is already employed as a lifeguard for the summer.

2. Lily graduated from Liberty University some time last Friday. This is a campus that none of us have seen.  She did not choose to walk across the stage because of the cost involved. I actually encouraged her in this decision. The only tough part is now she is unsure at 19 what she really wants to do in life or even a course to head to get there. This summer is going to be tough and likely life changing for her. I am praying for peace and wisdom.

3. I am finishing up my final weeks of treatment for the school year. I will have a couple of weeks of paperwork, meetings and office cleaning but the end is in sight.

4. The weather this year is the strangest ever in my book, after running the air conditioner for most of the month of April, we did not need it for the first two plus weeks of May. However, on Wednesday the humidity and heat forced the air back on.  I assumed it would be for the remainder of the summer but it now appears we may get another week in the 70s.  Strange and strange. The other issue is that we have been receiving a bunch of rain, the 5th wettest on record.

5. Kendall is rank 5th in her junior class. This was one thing that she was focused on achieving as this allows her to be a junior marshal.  We are extremely  proud of her!
