 Summer is quickly approaching!  The boys get out June 8th!

Ben will be working 40 plus hours (he is not doing football this coming summer/school year).

Jacob hopefully will find a few shifts a week somewhere to work, doing a basketball camp and 1-2 football camps.  

Joseph has no plans for the summer.  I hope it includes lots of outside time with friends.

We recently purchased a new basketball hoop.  A nice one that has a break away rim, which means you can properly dunk on it.  It is nice to see the kids out front playing on it.  (Just wish our neighbors didn't have nice new vehicles that we have to constantly worry about hitting)  We also have an inflatable paddle board, just waiting for it to get warmer outside.  So lots of opportunities for exercise.

Jacob is currently doing a week of early morning spring football practices.  On Monday he goes for a special PT appointment where they will put him through a battery of tests to figure out where he is still weak, etc.  He also sees surgeon next week, so hopefully he will get a green light to do more workout type stuff.

I am gonna be really busy this summer!  I am back to unlimited hours with work and my Turo gig, has grown from 1 rental car to 4!!!  I am just about driving myself nuts, making sure systems are in place so as not to forget a car.  I am finishing up a financial coach class and excited to see if I can start working with people about being intentional with their money.  Still not sure if I would want to do it as a ministry or for a fee, but going through this class has made me realize even more that I am passionate about budgets, investing, freedom in being debt free, etc.  We live in such a consumer driven society and the borrower is truly slave to the lender.  Hoping to connect with people and help them understand their relationship with money and changes that could be made to make the relationship much better.

JRs work has been pretty quiet but getting busier.  He is going to Honduras to visit his parents the second week of June.  It is a quick 6 day trip.  So he will be trying to get ahead before he leaves.  He is bringing on a few new clients, which is great!
