Summer is Here!!!

So here I am back on the blog again. I officially survived and completed my year as a full-time preschool teacher last Thursday!!! Now it's time to do and be ALL those things I said I would do and be once I wasn't teaching anymore. Blogging being on the list. Man, am I excited that this year is over. It was an incredible experience and I did love teaching those precious 4 year olds, but it was so stretching and trying for our whole family. Matt and I are so glad it's behind us and overwelmed to look back and see what God had in mind putting that on my/our plate...finances is just one reason.
With the summer upon us, I've scheduled 9 piano students (some new and some from the Spring) for summer lessons that I'll teach on Thursdays. I already have 11 new students signed up for the Fall to teach at the school where I taught last year! Again, overwelmed by God's provision beyond imagination...should I be, really? The Gurney Gang is headed to the beach in Gulf Shores, AL this Thursday for 10 days (MS for 3 and beach for 7) with my parents and sister's family!! We're so excited. We'll come back to a week of VBS, Matt will go to Student Life Camp with the youth, and then a week for Noah's SOCCER CAMP!!! Oh my word, we're so pumped. Noah is so excited! He says soccer is his favorite sport right now, but the boy has incredible natural ability for all sports. Anyway, with this camp he got a free official soccer jersey in the mail. Can't believe we didn't take a picture, but when he got it the expression on his face was unbelieveable!!! We'll have a few days of down time (whatever that means) and then the boys will go to MS for a week while Matt and I go on a youth mission trip to Chicago. So the back drop of it all is obviously that I'm pregnant (never said I'd be during the summer) and 16 weeks away from Taylor Giles making her appearance. That's our summer in a nutshell and we can't wait!!!
