(Phil and I visited a friend in Cleveland and
stopped at my Grandma and Grandpa Grahams
on the way)
So I vowed that Phil would have to write the next blog... but as you can see I lost that battle as I am writing this right now:)Not a whole lot is new for us. We continue to make updates to our house... but as I'm sure many of you have learned... you eventually reach a "stopping point". The "stopping point" does not
necessarily mean that you are done with projects, it simply means that the fact that 5 of your doors still have holes in it from the previous owner (foreclosed homes come with a lot of holes:) no
longer bother you. It's a miracle really, things that used to drive you nuts seem to disappear!!Some projects that we have gotten too this year are our walkway which looks GREAT! Phil's Dad graciously agreed to work on it one day with him and it was finished in one day. We started closing our garage when company comes over just so that they are FORCED to use our new walkway. We have also painted our front door red, replaced a window, and bought a few items that we plan on installing in the next month (storm door, garage window, garage door to get to the back yard). We are still really enjoying owning a home and feel so blessed to have our house.
Phil's event season came to an end in August. He is enjoying his slower season, and helped out with the Black Swamp Arts Festival in Bowling Green in Sept. He helped on their development committee and enjoyed learning more about the development field. I also volunteered at the festival as the "pizza runner" which basically means I got to run pizzas back and forth from Pagliais to the festival on a Gator. Very FUN!!
My job is going very well at the Christian Academy, I really enjoy it and am learning new things all the time. Something fun about my job is I get to help write the script for a commercial that will be running on one of our local channels promoting the school. Thankfully I do not have to be in the commercial!
Because my job at the school is part-time, I am also enjoying doing some photography on the side. My gracious brother in law Rob is going to build a website for me which will eventually be www.suzylynnphotography.com . Right now it's just a construction page, but eventually I will use it as a sort of online portfolio. I created my own logo got a few opinions and am happy with how the one I chose turned out. I'm also on facebook so look me up;) ("suzy lynn photography")
In August we celebrated my sister Liz and Rob's wedding. Their wedding was beautiful and we really enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Orange was the color of their wedding which made my dad very happy. Let's just say he spray painted his hair orange once for a marathon and called himself "orange man" that's how much he loves orange.All in all the summer has gone by fast but has been filled with visiting friends and family.
Hope all is well with you guys!
Suzy and Phil
