Another seemingly uneventful month. It's still super hot. Gas prices are through the roof along with prices for almost everything else. Caitlyn and Christian spend most of their time trying to survive school.
I think I need to just start writing notes about what happens during the month since it's getting increasingly difficult to remember. I usually rely in part on the pictures that I take, but I have hardly taken any pictures since our last trip.
My ankle is getting better. It's been a very slow process. I can walk now with minimal limp and don't need to wrap my ankle or anything anymore, so now I need to just get stronger and finish healing so that I can get back into shape.
I did celebrate my birthday this month. Christian took us out for Poké again. It's always fun and different since we hardly go out. I got some presents and Emily called home to wish me a Happy Birthday. On the weekend, Christian's dad and Jackie came up to celebrate. Since they wouldn't really want to eat most of the foods that I would want to go out to eat for, I decided that it would just be easier and tastier to whip up something myself. I made us some Kalua pork. I guess the theme for the month seems to be Hawaiian food for some reason.
Emily is doing good in school and has a much better living situation with her roommates this semester. She has still not been able to find a job yet though so we are praying for her.
Caitlyn is doing well in school so we hope she can keep it up as she is coming in to the home stretch now.
Since the schools are so short of substitute teachers and so many of the teachers that are there are either lazy or burned out, Christian has been subbing a lot during his prep period instead of prepping for his lessons or grading. The school is pretty desperate and have been trying to make it worth the existing teachers efforts to help out. Christian decided to do it whenever he can so that he can get his mill. He is super excited about getting it...now, if he can only find the time and energy to use it.
