It's 100 degrees outside...

Hello, my friends!

I'm glad things seem to be going well for everyone. I hope you all are having a great summer. Lots of things have happened since the last time I wrote, but none of them have been too exciting. My teaching job ended in May. I was going to have to get another job to get me by while I waited for law school to start, but when the school district went to fill my old job position for next year, they discovered that they were paying me less than the minimum amount they're required to. So I'm living off my backpay for the time being. It's been a blessing.

As it turns out, our landlord had put the house we were renting up for sale in May, so we had to move out at the end of June. My sister had just finished re-habbing a beautiful old brick home in downtown St. Louis. It's a huge house and she could hardly afford it on her own, so we moved in with her. It's been good so far, but it's definitely an adjustment having a roommate.

My sister is attempting to plan her wedding just 4 months in advance, which seems like it should be plenty of time, but apparently isn't. Since I will be her maid of honor, I am attempting to lose the 15 pounds I gained post-PC and I am attempting to learn calligraphy so I can help her address all her envelopes. I'm not doing all that well at either.

Well, I know there should be more to talk about, but my life if relatively boring. I'm not sure why any of you would need my address, but my new one is
2808 Indiana Ave
St. Louis, MO 63118
314-602-1715
I'd love to hear from each and every one of you.

hugs and kisses - jess
