My school year has officially come to an end and I know have a few days to spend with family and friends. The kids are all off doing their things: Raymond is somewhere on the other side of the globe...hope he has a great time and stays safe. Kila and John are busy with their new addition to the family, Baby Kennedy and keeping up with John John, who is growing bigger and smarter every day! He loves to spend the night with his "BeBe"! Charles is busy helping Blair study for the Bar Exam, we are very excited that she finally finished up her Law degree and now Charles is heading back to class to get a nursing degree. These two will be busy with the books for a little while longer. And then we have Kiana and Ryan who will be tying the knot on July 8th. We are all so very excited for the big day to finally arrive. Kiana has done an incredible job with all the wedding plans and I know she is ready to step into the next phase of her life becoming Mrs. Kiana Tatum!! I am dying to post those beautiful wedding pictures of her bridal portraits...but I have taken the oath to not do it until after that Big Day! Lastly, Kai is hanging in there. He had a rough year in school and I know he is looking forward to starting his 9th grade year and becoming a "high school" student. He is currently up at T Bar M at Lake Travis in Austin. He goes there every summer and really loves it. It is a christian based camp that really hits home for a lot of the kids. He has been attending T Bar M every summer since 2nd grade and he loves it. He is still deep into paintball and has plans on attending their national competition next year up in Chicago, we shall see!
Richard and I are just working working and more work! Its been a while since we took some time off to go on a trip of any type and starting to get the itch to travel! Hopefully this summer we can take a few days off and "escape"! It has been so dry and hot here in Houston this summer so far, and today was the first day that I have seen rain in a very long time. In fact, I was shocked to wake up to rain!! Love it...let it rain, let it rain,LET IT RAIN!!
My new team for next year started off on a roll! Have a great group of officers and looking forward to a fun year with some very talented young ladies. It will be an especially fun year in that I finally was able to get my district to approve taking my girls to Hawaii for their out of town trip. It will be a trip of a life time for them and I know they are going to love it. Plus I get to see my friends that I have not seen in over 10 -15 years....yes, it will be a great reunion in Honolulu~!
Well off to hit the sewing machine...have lots of projects started that I want finished before the end of summer...we will see! Till later ~ Happy Summer to all!
