David Graduated on May 21, 2010...so he has officially been a high school graduate for a month now. It has been a busy month. We had family in from out-of-town for graduation and then for the party on Saturday. On Sunday of graduation weekend we also a special service for the seniors of our church. It was a great service and fellowship after the service in their honor.Here is a picture of the class of 2010 from our church (three different high schools represented)


It was a fun fill family weekend. David had both sets of grandparents at graduation, it was amazing!! After graduation the next weekend we went to Jacksonville for to the University of North Florida for orientation. David was able to sign up for his summer classes and then his fall classes. He heads off to UNF this Tuesday! Yes, the 22nd!!! He will be at UNF until July 30th...then he is home for three weeks and then back to UNF.



After orientation, I went to an AP workshop and graded AP Govt Free Response Questions. It was a busy 8 days, a lot of work, but very informative. Hopefully I will get to do that again next year. We have also traded David's green truck in for a 2007 Saturn Auro. David was tired of only getting 10 mpg when driving and wanted something a little better on gas. The car looks great!


Brian & Chelsea are still over in Tampa. Chelsea has been really busy this summer. She is doing an internship at the Tampa Aquarium, taking a class on line, as well as teaching gymnastics to little kids. Brian is still at the community college in Tampa and has also taken a security class. He is hoping to get a security job. Please keep that in your prayers. The job market is so hard and so far he has not been able to find a job at all.

Mark is home for the summer. He is doing an internship at our church with the youth group. It is a paid internship!! Right now, he is in West Virginia with the youth group painting houses. He will be back on Saturday. His fiancé Janel has a summer job working with a local day camp. She is having a great time with the kids (guess that is why she wants to be an elementary teacher). She is also getting excited about planning their wedding. Last weekend we went to a bridal show and had a ball. Mark and Janel have set the date, it is May 28, 2011. They will get married at the church but are looking around for a venue.

Niel and I are just busy but totally enjoying any time we can spend together. I am still working on my masters. This is my week off. I just finished a class this past Friday and I start back up next Monday. On Monday's I am volunteering at our church's thrift shop so I don't find projects around the house to do. Even though looking around the shop I come up with ideas.

This past weekend Niel helped move his brother from a Ft Lauderdale nursing home to one here in Brevard County. It is in Titusville, about 30 minutes from our house but it is much closer than 3 1/2 hours. It will also be handy enough that Stoyell (Niel's dad) will be able to drive up and see him as well. For Stoyell it will be about an hour drive. It was a busy weekend, getting Eric up here in Brevard County and celebrating Father's Day but we did manage to do both. After church on Sunday, we took Niel's dad out-to-eat. My dad is in Maine right now. Him and my mom went to Maine to see Little Calvin graduate from high school. So they have been busy grandparents....one graduation in Florida on May 21st and then another on June 6th in Maine. I guess they could be called the traveling grandparents.
