I hope you are all doing well this evening. We have had a very busy weekend. Packing, storing, moving, getting ready for a garage sale; even Jennifer had to find a cheaper place to live! Our wonderful governor and legislators have just made our lives much harder!! Starting July 1st (a month ago) the new fiscal year started. What that meant for us is: Bryon has 6 furlough days a year, pay cut 4.5% (on top of the furloughs), insurance deductibles doubled, premiums raised, and coverage decimated. And that applies to Jeremy, Lucy, Jennifer, and Rachel, too. Doesn't that sound wonderful? Gas prices are going up, food prices are going up, and our income is going down! Yay! Can you hear the sarcasm?!?! Oh well, God always provides.
David is still having trouble with that knee. He did get some more stitch out of the incision where it was swollen. We are sure it was an infected stitch, but it is just worrisome. I have flushed it with peroxide, and put some triple antibiotic ointment on it with a mepore cover. Thankfully, it doesn't hurt him. I just wish it would heal up once and for all! Hopefully the medicine and the dressing I put on it will help it. Please pray that it heals up. Thanks.
Our weather has been usual summer weather. Actually, up until this week it was very mild! We had been having lows in the low 40's!! Bryon takes his motorcycle to work and he said it has been downright cold with the wind hitting him! Our highs had been in the 80's; but now they are in the 90's. But we have not had even one day 100 or above! This is the first year in 15 years that Reno didn't hit 100 degrees in July! And the hottest part of the year is over, so I don't think we will hit 100 this summer at all! YAY! I hate the heat! And David cannot handle it anymore, so I am glad that the days will slowly be getting cooler. Of course, our humidity is pretty low, too, so that helps a lot! I couldn't handle heat AND humidity! That is just nasty! I feel bad for the people who have to deal with the heat and humidity. I mean, when it is 98 degrees with a heat index of 113, that is just disgusting!! No thanks, not for me!! So we have had a relatively mild summer, and I am happy about that! I can't wait for fall, my favorite season. I know it is just around the corner! I hope you all are enjoying your summer.
This year is a weird year for me. For the first time in 24 years I do not have a child starting school. We don't have the 'back to school' excitement; and stress. It seems really weird. But it is good, just strange.
My little granddaughter is getting so big! I can't believe she is 6 months old already. Where did that time go?!?! She is halfway to her first birthday already! She is so much fun. I am enjoying taking care of her every day. She just gets more fun by the day. She isn't as stingy with her giggles anymore, she laughs so much more freely! And boy, do we love to hear her laugh! She is such a beautiful baby; and such a joy!
Well, that is about all that his happening in the Koury family. Thank you for visiting and checking up on David and the Koury Klan. Please remember to keep us all in your prayers. God bless you all. We love you.
