Labor Day Weekend - New School Year - Looking Forward

For over 12 years now Labor Day Weekend has been the cue for the Nethery's entering into a new school year that begins the Tuesday after Labor Day. Friday Night Football, evening study time, stories of the day on campus over suppertime, some new clothes, new frienships, Dance Team, test, up at a regular time, meeting teachers, PTA stuff, Chorus events, and on and on the list goes. We enjoy the Friday Night Football. The excitement, the friends, the peanuts, the cool evenings turning into cold evenings, and yelling for our team. As I type this eve I am watching the US Open, preparing for a last summer dinner out with the family, watching my daughter make a shirt for her first day as a Senior in High School with a great deal of anticipation, and having personal feelings of "bummer" and "alright" as the Nethery clan transitions into the new school year with a Senior and a Sophomore. We have had a fun summer. The pool, pool parties, a day at Cherrystone Campground, M-Fuge, new friendships, learning about and processing relationships, lake vacations, beach days, Outer Bank days, surfing, tanning, Pro Kadima, Frisbee, lawn mowing, corn hole games, late nights, all nighters, and sleeping till late late morn. Yea Baby! What great summer days. Thank you God. As we look forward we are praying and hoping for a great fall and winter and creating fun and exciting memories. Thank you God.
