Happy June

Most of you know but Jessi was in a car accident a couple of weeks ago. We were all with her. A car pulled out in front of her. She did her best to avoid the accident but she ended up hitting the other car. Jessi's car had to be towed. She is sooo bummed. The other driver was ticketed and her insurance is taking care of everything. The garage thinks it will be about two weeks to get Jessi's car back in shape. We have a rental but Jessi can't drive it because of her age so she is driving the van. Oh, that reminds me she got her license last Friday. It is really strange to think of her driving. She is babysitting for a family from our church this summer. She drives to their house in the morning. She is also taking them places during the day. Yikes! They must have a lot of confidence in her. Jessi babysits Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and some Fridays. I think she likes it so far. Devin is going with her on some Wednesdays and Thursdays. She is also running summer track and still playing softball. So she is busy.

Devin has his last soccer game for the season this Saturday. After that we/he need to decide where he wants to play next year. He really loves soccer and truly has a talent for the game. He would make any number of teams if he tried out for them. Kyle and I are really trying to listen to him as far as how competitive he wants be. Money and where the teams practice is also a factor. I realize he is young and no matter what we decide it won't be the end of the world but I really want him to be happy and to continue to enjoy playing. He is also playing baseball. He pitched last year but isn't interested in pitching this year. He mostly plays first or third base. He does pretty well. He also loves the pool. He and I are pool buddies. Jessi and Kyle really don't enjoy hanging out at the pool afternoon so Dev and I bond in the sun.

Kyle has been really busy at work. I know he thinks about looking for a job somewhere else but it is hard to make that change. He has a lot of flexibility and he accrues a decent amount of vacation time. Changing jobs may mean loosing those things. It is always a trade off.

Work has been fine for me. Not very busy but I also have a lot of flexibility so hopefully I will be able to take advantage of the good summer weather, if we ever get any! I am considering taking up running. I run very occasionally. Well, actually I run and walk and run and walk two miles. You would think with all the time I put into the gym that I would be in better shape. I want to be able to run 3 miles but I guess that means I will have to train.

That is my update. I'm going to try and keep up with my blog better. I'm not always good at keeping in touch so a couple of my friends tell me this is how they keep up with what is going on with me. (Hi Mary! It was good to talk to you.)
