Summer so far

My Summer Session II classes have not been too bad so far and Adam has not been flying much as he waits for his squadron to return, so our weekends have been less busy and have given us time for exploration. Fourth of July weekend Adam's parents had a beach house in Emerald Isle (about 45 minutes due east of Jacksonville) and we spent Thursday afternoon through Sunday morning there with them. The weather was nice, we ate good food, explored some of the coast, and watched fireworks on the beach.

This past weekend Adam and I explored on our own and went south to Snead's Ferry where we ate hot dogs and drank special recipe root beer at Dr. Rootbeer's Hall of Foam. It was a nice little dive with root beer memorabilia all over the walls and a nice staff. The special recipe root beer was excellent too. I have a feeling we'll be back.

Later that day my brother stopped to spend the night on his way to Charleston, SC for a Coast Guard Boarding Team School. This was especially exciting to me because due to distance, money, and schedules around the holiday's (ie. Greg not having off Christmas) I have not seen my brother since the week before I moved to Pensacola, two years ago. He got to see our house, check out the Cobras up at Adam's squadron, and swim in some warm water at the beach. I think that was his favorite part since Cape Cod summers only elicit 55 degree waters at the beach. Hopefully another visit will occur soon and maybe I'll make it up to see him in Cape Cod before he gets stationed elsewhere.

In other news, I am still waiting to hear about a teaching job, but am trying to be hopeful. Your prayers are always welcome. I am still enjoying being a nanny and watching this little boy grow up, but I want so much to be in the classroom again. And, as always, things are up the air with Adam, but at least we know that he will switch to another squadron on August 5th and will hopefully get back in the cockpit soon after that.

Thanks for reading!
