An Eventful Week

I will never forget July 2009!

We dropped my daughter off at JFK on an international flight to Korea where she will be teaching English to Korean students at a camp. I'm so excited for her and I can't wait to hear all about it. She will return to the U.S. August 12th.

This week my husband and I went to Citi Field Center (the new Shea Stadium) in Queens and saw Paul McCartney in concert. It was an amazing experience. We had never seen him before in person and we listened to 5 decades of music that night!

This week my son is graduating from the Bergen County Fire Academy in full uniform. I am so proud of him. He was effected by 9/11 and wants to help people in need. We plan to visit the 9/11 memorial this summer.

I have enjoyed my experience immensely tutoring/teaching pre-college freshman this summer. It is rewarding to help young adults in a reading program especially with the book, Three Cups of Tea. This book has inspired me to want to participate in the Pennies for Peace campaign at the elementary school where I teach.

It's been an eventful July and I wonder what August will bring!
