WOW the summer has finally flown by enough that now Jonah is starting to realize he doesn't have to die in the belly of a fish. :)
Laree and kids are coming home, Sams fam is almost done and the boys will be coming soon.
Though we still have not heard directly from the boys, Glen and Leon get your acts into gear we all KNOW you have TONS to say...at least one note would be nice. And Mandy, Marcy and Caramie, what! do you think we don't care about your boring and lothsome lives? We do, and we all want to be apart of it. At least one note before the summer is over would be delightsom.
Here is a note from Sams Fam-
We're down to the last month(ish)!
Hopefully a month from now we'll be back with you all, but who knows? A change of plans would totally be par for the course of the summer.
The official end date for the summer is August 27th, we will probably stay later though, depending on the demand and how many salesreps stick around for a while longer.
Crazy to think about. And for the most part we don't. If we spent time putting a lot of thought into how close we are to coming home, it'd make this last bit take forever. It already is taking forever.
It's been nice having James around, Sam really enjoys him as always, and it helps to have someone around who is not burnt out like the rest of us, someone who still likes the fact that we're busy all the time and have no energy for anything else. Keeps us smiling at his enthusiasm and appreciative of his energy. The rest of us are just dead on our feet.
I never understood, at the start of this summer, when I heard that we had a salesrep who did the summer program and then took the other 8 months off to go on vacations and laze around, how he could do that.
I know now just how easy that would be.
Of course, Sam won't. He anticipates taking a few weeks off maybe, and then getting back to work doing SOMETHING. Everything's kinda up in the air right now.
Including what we're doing, where we're living, and if I'll try working again. Let alone what we will do next summer. We figure it's too close to this summer to really try thinking about a next summer program- the thought honestly makes me shudder at this point. Regardless of where it would be.
Oh well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Things have a tendancy to kind of just work out providentially, in whatever manner God sees fit.
And for that I am grateful :)
