It’s that time of year again, to set the alarm clock and get back into routines. Personally, I enjoy the structure of the school year because it keeps me on track. Don’t get me wrong, I welcome summer break by the time May rolls around, but in August, when the heat is making me feel like a roasted marshmallow, I’m ready for some structure. … Our summer was a mix of memorable moments, some medical bills, and plenty of time golfing and on the lake.
