Yes, I'm Still Alive

Many people have asked me what happened to my blogging since I haven't posted anything since February. Well, basically as the president of the Indiana Society of Professional Land Surveyors, I've been focusing a lot of energy and my communication through that organization. Being president has certainly taken more of my time and energy than I ever anticipated.

Anyway....as for some updates: My oldest son, Kyle, is about to graduate from high school and will be attending Ball State University in the fall majoring in actuarial sciences. The college selection process was interesting to me and the financial aid end of it was very intriguing. For anyone with a child about to go to college, contact me and I'll share with you information I learned during the process to help get scholarship money.

We're full bore into both soccer season for my younger son, Brad, and dance for my daughter, Libby. Brad's team isn't doing so well but he's found a love of playing another position - goalkeeper. My wife isn't nearly so fond of seeing him in goal.

Libby has had a solo this dance season and has done well with it. She certainly has a different perspective on solos now as she knows all eyes on her and if she makes a mistake, it will be very noticeable. She's done a great job with it while fighting through a hamstring injury that just won't seem to go away. She's got a great physical therapist, though, who is also a dancer so she is able to help Libby to learn how to do moves a little differently so she's using the muscles she's supposed to be using.

So there's my last three months wrapped up in a few short paragraphs. Keep checking back often and I really promise this time that I'll do a better job blogging.
