What's something new going on in your life?
Just a general chat thread here! Anything new, and hopefully fun, in your life?
Summer activities just started here so the daily routine is in a free fall. I need to figure out a daily plan and then execute it rather than being on my phone! My oldest and her husband are trying to move in a crazy real estate market and I'm freaking out a little that they are looking hours away. dd16 just wrecked her car so I'm back on chauffer duty, which in her case is probably a good thing! I just got some new clothes! And my mom got me a Vera Bradley purse for my birthday. It comes on Saturday! Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
June 1st started my sabbatical of a sorts. as much of a sabbatical I can have while working full time LOL
Hoping to Do a lot of hiking this summer- starting this weekend weather permitting. Sunday we get to meet my middle child’s girlfriend- she’s flying in from Texas! We have two short family trips planned and I want to squish in a waterfall hike or camping trip early fall if possible. What’s new for me this year that’s I’m already enjoying is my house in the spring/ summer for the first time. It feels luxurious to have such a large beautiful deck and I sit outside a lot!!! Charla, so excited for your ministry!!!!

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
My ds just started his first job and even though he technically still has one more year of high school, my actual homeschool teaching days are over since he will be doing dual credit for school in the fall.
---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:03 PM ---------- I love sitting outside too. It's very grounding. I haven't been able to as much the last couple weeks because we've had so much rain which brought tons of mosquitoes. We went out to eat today at favorite burger place with outdoor seating and it was all nice. They must have sprayed for mosquitoes in that are because there weren't any. |

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
We're still waiting to be able to get back to our overseas home but at least we're not locked down in a tiny apartment during the hot hot HOT season (it was 114 there yesterday).`
My oldest starts his first university class on Tuesday. He's not quite 14 so he's just trying one over the summer before we decide what to do next fall. My second is reading The Hobbit. Considering he was functionally illiterate 2 years ago this is huge! And the little one is driving me kinda crazy. Thankfully we are in a spot with so much outside space for him to run and play and a bunch of people to make his little extrovert heart happy. And the community pool opens soon!! Oh happy day!!

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
Not a lot new for me but I did buy 3 new shirts I really like. I am picky and it is hard to find stuff I like so I was happy.

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
I'm happy that summer is here. We went camping last weekend in a beautiful location. Today, we went paddleboarding/kayaking and had so much fun.

Re: What's something new going on in your life?
We are unexpectedly building a house. We have rented for the last seven years as we waited for dh to get tenure, which he did summer 2020. However, we still might make one more move before kids get to high school, so we were going to keep renting until we were sure where we were going to be. However, with the market sky rocketing, we won’t be able to save as fast as housing is going up plus interest rates are exceptionally low, so dh thinks we ought to get in now.
Inventory is so low in the area we would like to live, and God dropped an amazing lot with a builder from our church into our laps, along with one of our main pastors and his wife moving in next door to our new place! I have loved our house (1450 sq feet for the six of us), but with homeschool and bigger kids the space is getting tight. I am beyond grateful and feel greatly blessed that our new house will have plenty of space for all of us. I’ve never lived in a new house and never expected that I would. It is all so unexpected and wonderful.
