Summer, sun, holidays and news...

Summer is here! It is getting warmer and sunnier. It is so bright outside that it feels like 5pm although it is already 8pm!! We definitely need higher temperatures though...this is not gonna cut it! ;)
School is over since June 11th for Alyssa. She had '8th grade commencement'. We met for a luncheon near the school. She was hanging out with friends and beginning of July she is going to Wisconsin for the summer. Adam is in the States (east coast) for 2 weeks in July because of work...I so wished we could go on vacation rather sooner than later! I can't believe I have to wait until August! And on top of that Adam has to stay for another 5 (!) weeks in the States for a language course...not at all happy about that!!

Big news from Adam this month...he is hired as a photographer on base!! :) He will work for MWR (they organize activities on base, have the craft shop and such) and will get paid for portrait and studio photography. It's as exciting as it is a little stressful to prepare everything until the actual 'fun' part begins with taking pictures.

On Saturday I had the first gig with my new band 'Crazy Crocodile Band' :) We played at a street festival in the town next to ours. We are a quite large band, saxophon, 2 guitars, drums, bass and 4 singers! I am one of the singers and we had a great time last weekend!! We played for 4 hours and the people were loving it! It makes it even better, that we had to replace our drummer not even 2 weeks ago. We had only 3 practices with the band as it exists right now. I think we can be proud of our first gig and I will soon post pics Adam took that day :)

Also, we are about to buy the apartment we live in :) It is a great deal and we are excited! Our own home! Woo hoo!!
