...and we are not going to have any food. The kids don't understand how NOT to eat someone out of house and home, especially how not to eat all of the snacks... We're going to work on that, or they will be some hungry kids.
Grades are in! Bri and Nate has B's and one C, Renee has an A, B's and 2 C's. They did okay. Not as good as I wanted them to (yes, they could have done MUCH better), but I'm proud of them anyway. Nate has finished 5th grade. It's about time! He had a "ceremony", it was PACKED, and I wasn't able to take pictures, because he was on the opposite side of where we were sitting. He had two lines to read in a poem, and he did good with that. Bri is still going to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays for JROTC leadership training. She wants a leadership position next year. I hope she gets it. She's been working hard.
Lawrence and I? We're doing good. He's still working hard. Next month will mark a year of us being here in Charlotte, and a year for him being at his job. He's excited about the milestone. I am pouring myself into volunteering now. Since I don't have a job, I thought this would at least give me something to do, and I can help people. Also, when someone looks at my resume, they'll see that I've been keeping myself busy. That's what I was planning on doing when I started this whole blog - be a mom and volunteer - but I let myself focus on finances, and didn't allow God to step in and take care of that situation. Now that I've moved over and gave it back to God, things are looking up for us.
Next week, I'm supposed to be driving to Philly to get my niece and nephew so they can spend some of their summer in the south. It depends on if my sister is sending the funds for me to get the rental car.
Well, that's all the updates for now. Pray for our health and strength.
Thanks, and God Bless!
Leslie
