Crazy Summer Events

Well, the summer has been a run and a rush for us. With a mix of work and fun.The end of May started with the end of Megan’s third year of teaching Pre-K. It also began Megan’s trek of taking a certification test and doing summer classes in her graduate school. She took a three day class in May. Paul finished up taking his two intersession graduate classes in May.
We then went on a much needed trip to Orlando, FL with Paul’s Family. We experienced the magic of Disney World and Universal Studios. Megan’s favorite was The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Islands of Adventure.   Paul’s favorite thing we did was going on the Jurassic Park ride also in Islands of Adventure.
We had a week half for Megan to catch up on her summer class work and Paul to work on camp lessons, Bible Classes, and sermons. We then went off to church camp where we both were councilors and taught a SIG (Special Interest Group) on Professional Ministry. Well, Paul did most of the teaching and I helped. Paul taught a Bible class on knowing God. We meet some great new friends and enjoyed seeing some of the kids from years past.
We then came home and Megan is continuing to work on school and VBS (Vacation Bible School) preparation has begun. We have enjoyed going to spend some time with some family on the fourth of July. We have also been excited to have my sister Brenda and her boyfriend come visit this past weekend. We also enjoyed having our dear friend Kamry come and visit.
This week’s assignments include VBS lesson preparation and decoration. Megan will continue on graduate school assignments. Paul will do his regular ministry work besides VBS.  
For fun, we are watching the fifth and sixth Harry Potter movies in preparation for the last one coming out this week. We are going to review seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 starting at nine and then Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 at midnight! We are very excited!
We hope this is a productive week. Hopefully this gives some insight to this summer’s crazy events.
