Extra activities

We just finished a season as CHAMPIONS of the San Diego Top Gun Flag Football league! What an exciting 10 weeks that was! We had our wins and losses...but mostly wins. And thank goodness for that! As one of our players would say...ahem...Bowen, "I hate loosing more than I love winning" And trust me it is the truth! It's a lot more of an exciting 20 minute car ride home after a win!!! Bowen was the quarterback for the Animal Clan, and a pretty good if I may say. I was the official filmer/keep the other girlfriends company while they watched their boyfriends/team mom/wife. What a privilege it was to watch these boys transform in die hard football crazed men! We're already planning this next season and all that we have to bring to the table :) On a more humble note, we both are enjoying our callings in the church. I am a Sunday school teacher for the CTR 6 year olds. You never quite know what is going to come out of their mouth. So, I'm constantly prepared with lollipops to keep em' busy! Bowen is the first counselor of the Young Men. Every other Sunday he teaches class and Wednesday evenings are filled with mutual activities. We both enjoy getting to know the youth of our ward and how special each an every one of them are! As far as furthering our minds goes: Bowen is preparing to take his GMAT test on May 10th. He's been studying like crazy and we both hope that he does well so he can start his MBA courses. I've always wanted to learn spanish. Plus I think it'll come in handy some day (like when we go to Puerto Rico or Spain...hint hint Bowen) So, every Tuesday i have a class and it is going muy bien!!! I'm learning a lot, but don't ask me to translate just yet.

Welcome!

Hi everyone! Welcome to the Summer family blog! Hopefully this will be an easy way to keep everyone updated on all the new and exciting things going on in our lives. Bowen and I are currently living in the beautiful San Diego area and loving every moment of it! Our days are full of living, loving, and laughing! It's such an exciting time! Here's an update of what's been going on in the past few months... Bowen is an area manager for NASSCO/ General Dynamics; a HUGE shipyard downtown. Right now he and his team are working on the TAKE-7 Naval ship where he's in charge of the cargo holds. He seems to really like the responsibility and leadership that naturally comes to him . I am the Residential Manager for the Casa Linda Apartments in La Jolla. (That's where we live.) I take care of the property, collect rent, schedule and follow up with contractors, and make sure my tenants are happy. I'm currently in the process of "upgrading" everything, so it's kind of busy around here! I'm also working two days a week at our corporate office, Radelow/Gittins, downtown. Basically, it's a secretary job. I enjoy it! The people I work with are great + it's a little extra mula $$$! As most everyone knows, we are expecting a little boy June 19th! We've been sooo busy getting ready for this little miracle to come! And he's coming FAST! Time has flown! Already, family and friends have been sooo supportive in helping us. THANK YOU!!! In between work and play, there's more play! Saturday morning consist of surfing, beach, surfing, oh and surfing! We are truly blessed to live in such a wonderful place!
