Welcome Summer!

Summer is upon us! While Brian and I are happy that it is warmer around here, we are overwhelmed with the heat and humidity lately. Highs in the 90's with the heat index making it feel close to 100. No relief in sight for our forecast. This is a much different summer than when we first moved to Fort Wayne one year ago.

Brian has started his new summer job as the Summer Greek course tutor at the seminary campus. He works with the guys taking the summer greek course which is 10 weeks long. He took this course last summer himself. He also continues to work in the mail room on campus. He is keeping busy but still finds time for those darn video games. :) It's hard to pull him away from them sometimes. We still enjoy playing the Wii together, too. He did play on the seminary softball team for a short time, but that has seem to have ended already. He was hoping it would continue a bit longer, I think.

I am still at the daycare with the 3 and 4 year olds. During the summer, I sometimes am moved to a different room depending on how many kids are in my room. The ratio is 10 kids to 1 teacher, so if there are only 10 kids then I am usually moved to another room with more kids. It's been interesting but I enjoy getting to know the other kids and teachers better. :) I am also continuing to tutor. I have 4 different students right now and I am luckily able to do it earlier in the day now. I have more time at home in the evenings now which I like.

We continue to attend Zion Friedheim Lutheran Church in Decatur, IN. It is Brian's fieldwork church. He has preached twice and will preach once more this summer and then he will also be preaching at his home congregation in Greenwood, IN (near Indianapolis). We like attending a church in the country away from Fort Wayne on Sunday mornings. :)

Our activities so far this summer have included Germanfest and Tin Caps baseball (both are downtown). There is a lot to do here in the summer and a lot of it is free. We still enjoy our Friday night date nights (or another day of the week if we have to do something on a Friday evening). We make it a point to do something just the two of us one night a week. We started off our summer in Colorado for my sister's wedding! We had a wonderful time, the week flew by, but I am so glad I got to be there for the special event. Here are a couple of pictures:

Have a great summer!
