It's been busy around here as my dad was just visiting from Texas. We hadn't seen each other since Ryan's and my wedding close to two years ago. It was nice for him to be able to come for Father's Day weekend. In the above picture, we are at my brother and sister-in-law's house (Don & Mandy) for a BBQ with all the dads.
During the weekend, we all began working on a puzzle since it was a nice indoor activity with all the rain this past weekend.
Tommy & Dad left the party (in the kitchen) and took a nice, long nap!
A little update....Ryan's last day of active duty Navy was last Tuesday. He is now on terminal leave. That means that he has 30 days of leave (that he had saved up) until his last official day in the Navy on July 13th. He entered the civilian world as a full-time student at the college on Monday. There were MANY challenges that first day with classes, etc. With a few schedule/class changes, I think things will be going better now. We are still praying about him doing the reserves. As of March 14, the Navy put out an "official" (I'm not sure how much is actually ever official in the Navy, but at least it's in black & white) document saying that someone just coming out of active duty and entering the reserves would not be deployed for 2 years. We're thinking about Ryan going into the reserves for just those two years. He could go to school full-time and then only go over to the base for 6 days a month. It's hard to find another part-time job that will work out time-wise and financially like that.
In the meantime, I just began teaching again for the summer on Monday. I have only 4 students registered right now. There are only two other day ESL teachers at the college. Two of us have very low numbers right now. If we don't get more students, they could cut our classes. Yikes! It is common that we have less students in the summers, but please pray for more to come!!
