The Spurlock family has had an interesting year. Nick was laid off in May after twenty-two years with Progressive Insurance (Boo, Flo!) and remains unemployed. We agreed that he would confine his job search to Florida for four months. That period of time has come and gone, and he has applied for positions in Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. Still nothing. He is working for some former Progressive employees; it's a three-week stint, and this is his final week. Last week he was contacted by a head hunter regarding a job in the Miami area. Keep your fingers crossed for him and send up some prayers.
Shelbe is home with the flu...type A which may or may not be the swine flu. It's the mildest case of the flu that I've ever seen. Low grade fever, coughing and stuffy nose. She's got a great group of teachers who have been emailing her homework, so she's managing to keep up with her assignments. She is still playing the bassoon and joined the cross country team this year. West Shore's homecoming was October 3rd, and she went with a group of friends. Nick and I can't believe how much she's grown up over the past year.
Marc is in his final year of elementary school. His twelfth birthday is on the 19th, and he's been busy planning all kinds of things that he and his friends can do during his slumber party. He has asked for a four-tiered "slawberry" cake; it's something he saw on the cartoon "Chowder." Wish me luck figuring that one out! There are currently several glow sticks hanging from our air conditioning vents so they can play hide-and-seek in the dark. It's going to be a long night!
I have been working for Dolphin Girl Cruises and Eco-Tours since May. A good friend owns the business, and I handle reservations and have been dabbling in some marketing. You can check out our website at www.dolphingirltours.com .
Best wishes to all for a Happy Halloween and Thanksgiving!
Love,
Steph, Nick, Shelbe and Marc
