Somehow the month is already half over and it feels like this summer is going to fly by. We have had the Annual Homework Burn and spent a short weekend in Kearney. We were able to spend some time with Steve's family and visited my Aunt Linda and Grandma Carson. We had an epic time at Heritage Days and Steve and I even donned costumes for a little Sumo Wrestling. If you haven't checked out the video on my FB page, you really should...you will laugh!

Tai came home at the end of May and it has been pretty much non-stop since. She had started applying for jobs before she even came home and is currently working at Embark Grooming Salon. She loves it! This girl loves dogs! She has been offered a job at Nelnet and so we shall see what direction she goes. We will celebrate her graduation with family and friends this Sunday.
Ariez is up early everyday for summer school. Steve and I take turns taking him and then one of the other drivers in the house goes to pick him up. He informed me today that his summer will not be long enough because of having to go to school. This will better support him for his graduation needs so he might not quite see the benefits of it right now but hopefully will next school year he'll be thankful to have these classes out of the way.
Treyson got back Sunday from a week-long trip to Yellowstone. He went with about 9 other people from Zoo school. It sounds like he had just an amazing time. They camped and one night they even were "under the stars" as they didn't want to have to pack up the tents in the morning. They took turns preparing campfire meals each night and had some great hikes and a raft trip. He saw a bear and thought that the geysers were really neat.
Genevieve is currently packing for her own trip to Wyoming with the High School Youth Group. She leaves bright and early on Tuesday and I think she's pretty excited. I don't know how she got old enough to go on a High School age group but apparently she is. They will spend a week at Table in the Wilderness and I pray it will be a spiritual trip for her. When she gets back, she will be a teacher assistant to the pre-schoolers for VBS.
Reyanne is currently at Camp Marantha for the Middle School Youth Group. She left on Monday and will be home on Sunday. We don't get to talk to her but I've seen a couple of pictures and it looks like she's having fun. She was smiling and didn't appear to have any bandages. :) I can't wait to hear all about her trip when she gets home. This is her first year for camp and I think she was mostly excited with a little bit of nerves.
Steve and I just keep plugging away. He works long hours at Nelnet and is a pack leader for Boy Scouts. I am in "budget season" for work and enjoying my grief facilitator volunteer gig with Mourning Hope. I've shared with you that we are working our way through "A Purpose Driven Life" and we try to take small breaks and spend some time just fostering our relationship in intentional ways. The other night we laid out on the trampoline and just watched the clouds move and planned our back yard for family bbq's and grandchildren. I'm so thankful to be on this journey with him.
