Thought I would post about the goings on around here lately. As we all know the fourth of July was last week. We spent the evening on the beach and then headed over to a bridge that takes you to the islands to watch the fireworks. It was pretty neat to see them over the water and all the boats that glittered underneath. The girls really enjoyed themselves.

   David is doing amazing in school. Right now he is number one in his class, and the farthest than anyone else in his flights. One more flight to go tomorrow and he will have his instrument ratings. You have to have this to have your commercial liscence. Instrument is a huge step! I am so proud of him. Later this week he will be flying to Key West for the day. Am I jealous? Heck yes!! He has been instructed to take a ton of pics. I will be starting him a flight scrapbook to put right next to all his military ones, which I have officially finished! Yay me!

   We are all looking forward to this fall. The girls start school August 20th. Constance will be in 2nd grade (that went by super fast!), and Ivy will be starting Kindergarten. Im excited and worried for her. She has a harder time with school than Constance. She wants to go but she is also very nervous about being away from home. So Im really hoping a praying it all goes smoothly for her. I know the first week may be hard, but Im hoping after that she settles down into her school routine easily without to many problems. Its funny how different two kids can really be. Its going to be strange for me to only have Paige at home during the day! Im sure we will have fun and take naps!

   We will also have lots of visitors this fall, which I am really excited about! My dad, step mom, and Grandma will be here in September. We will all be staying in Orlando for a few days. We are going to Cape canveral to see the space center, and Daytona to see the sights there. As well as a few things to do in Orlando. Then in October my mom and JR will be here. David and I will get our first date in a whole year! We got free tickets to Universal Studios. We will be going to the beach and Disney with them as well. The kids are super excited about that one!

   Then in December we are headed to Missouri for Christmas. This Christmas will be different for my family without Grandpa. I still miss him so much and still find myself breaking down from time to time. He was one of the best men in my life. Its almost been two months since he passed and it still just doesnt seem right without him. It may never feel right.  It really makes you appriciate your time with loved ones that much more. Especially when you dont live close and cant see your family everyday.

   Well that is pretty much all that is going on here right now. Not much at the moment, but this fall should keep us pretty busy! Hope all is well with the rest of you! Have a good day :)
