Our Summer

Since it has been so long since I've posted, I will try to recap our whole summer...

May -

  • Juli had her gallbladder removed, and healed well from surgery. Micah flew out to help take care of her and work some at the gym.
  • My Gym was booming with 194 kids enrolled!
  • We hired two new employees. One, Dustin, is now our Director and the other quit early August.
  • Thomas played softball for our church league.

June -

  • Thomas turned 24.
  • We were at a Colorado Rockies baseball game on Father's Day.
  • Thomas' mom, sister and step-dad came to visit near the end of the month.
  • Summer Camp started at the gym twice a week for June-August.

July -

  • Thomas' brother, Robert, came to visit for 2 weeks.
  • We went to another Colorado Rockies game on the 4th of July.
  • Juli flew to Orlando for a weekend to surprise her sister, Angela, at her baby shower for Parker. From Orlando, Juli flew to California to meet Thomas (or flights landed an hour apart).
  • We went to California for 2 weeks. The first week was vacation - visited friends in San Diego, went to the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Disney Land, Disney's California Adventure, Universal, and Hollywood Blvd. The second week we were in Long Beach for a My Gym Owners' National Seminar.
  • We received an Achievement Award: "The owners who have achieved remarkable progress in striving for excellence in the areas of business operations, leadership, customer service, program quality and enrollment." Only 6 out of 220 gyms received this award (4 domestic and 2 international).

August -
  • Juli went to Orlando for 3 weeks. Thomas joined her for the final week there while Dustin (or Director) ran the gym. It was a wonderful time of seeing family and friends (and meeting our new nephew, Parker, who was born July 20th)!
  • Summer Camp ended at the gym, and our enrollment numbers we lowering.

  • We have lived in Colorado almost 2 years and will be signing another lease to stay in our house.
  • Dustin (our Director) asked Thomas to be his Best Man in his wedding November 6, 2011. They have become best friends and we enjoy hanging out with Dustin and Kendra when we aren't working.
  • Juli is back to watching Anelise 1-2 days each week as a nanny job. She is now 10 months old and just started walking.
  • The weather is beautiful, but we are hoping the snow comes soon to bring in more business.
  • October 6th is our 2 year anniversary of owning My Gym. We will have an anniversary party on October 9th and Halloween costume parties for the kids on October 30th.
