We also threw our housewarming party. We were so lucky to
have so many friends and family members here to celebrate our new home. My mom
and sister even flew in to surprise me! We took them for cheesesteaks and
Paulie’s (our favorite local restaurant) while they were here. We also did a
few necessary tourist things: Liberty Bell, Art Museum steps (Rocky style).
There are pictures below. (Note: Mom also ran the steps, but we forgot to get
her picture. L)
I am teaching summer school and tutoring three students
right now. I really enjoy tutoring. It really allows you to see what the
student accomplishes so closely—a very rewarding experience so far. Summer
school is not as fun as tutoring, but I can’t really complain either. It is
only three hours long, and my class is great. It is just the “summer” part of
it that I don’t enjoy so much. It may become an every-other-year habit. This
year, though, it is worth it. I am gaining a ton of experience to carry into my
new Middle School I classroom, AND we’re getting new hardwood floors for at
least one living room out of it!
Speaking of living room: We just painted our PURPLE! That’s
right—GEAUX TIGERS! Only one wall is deep (LSU) purple. The other walls are
very pale. There is a picture below. It was a daring move, but I love it. Now, I’m
ready to dress it up!
In news other than my own, my brother went to King’s Camp
this summer. He had a wonderful time, because it is a fantastic camp! He could
not say anything bad about it. He loved every minute. I can’t say I’m
surprised. I love it, along with all the people who have ever spent time there,
just as much. Zeke even got a special award: Spiritual Growth. If you see him,
encourage him and help him stay on a path of spiritual growth!

one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” -
