We are sitting here waiting for tropical storm Claudette to pay us a visit. We shouldn't get much more than thunder storms, but my mom was worried and asked us to buy some emergency candles. (After Katrina my town was without electricity for a week.)
Other than waiting for a tropical storm to hit (haha!) there is not much happening. For reasons I won't go in to here, Christian has decided that he isn't going to school this year. He is going to wait a year. He has a lot on his plate in the upcoming year, though. Three months in Germany, a job, lots of local volunteering and maybe even a gap year volunteer trip overseas. We will have to see how it all works out.
We have decided that for Christian's 18th birthday (December 11th) we are going to buy him a ticket for Rock am Ring. Next year is the 25th anniversary, and is expected to bigger and better than ever. I will be going with him, as will Andre and his girlfriend Valeria, Andre's sister Nadine and her boyfriend and possibly Andre's brother Kay and his girlfriend. Alex and Ethan are going to work to earn the money for the tickets (about $200 US) so that they can go too.
I finally got the TV armoire sanded. Once I get over this stomach bug we are all fighting off, I will get it painted. Then we will move on to the rest of the living room furniture. A little at a time and we should get there... hopefully!
