1. The school year is in full swing and I am busy. One of the main reasons I am busy is the major overhaul project of rebuilding\/making useable the metal building at the end of our driveway. We took down the entire structure which was a metal tube frame and are working on rebuilding.\u00a0 I am hopefully that by this time next week, the project will be complete and I have been taking pictures to share at the end.<\/div>\n
2. Zach’s JV football team is currently 2-0. Yesterday, his game was cancelled because of storms. Unfortunately, we had driven an hour, and sat in the parking lot an hour before it was cancelled.<\/div>\n
3. Zach was able to get his driver’s license this week.\u00a0 Our driveway is getting crowded. But it is nice to not have to drive someone everywhere every day. I am excited and looking forward to this new chapter\/season of life.<\/div>\n
4. I am happy to report that all my meal preparation over the summer is working.\u00a0 \u00a0We are also working hard to use up items before purchasing. I was able to reduce our grocery budget for August by $300 and plan to reduce more in $400.<\/div>\n
5. We have planned Kendall’s graduation cruise. This is an item she has talked about for several years.\u00a0 We will be cruising in April.\u00a0 I hope it will be all she wants!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
