I have always wanted a brother. I have two sisters, one older and one younger. Yep, I am stuck in the middle. This summer, my life and my sibling role is going to temporarily change. Not only will it change, but the change will be dramatic.
I have spoken in previous posts about how I am going to be living in the Seattle area this summer. Living one the west side of Washington is going to be a change in itself since I was born and raised in Spokane . I have also never been away from home for a summer. Anyways, I will be teaching tennis at an athletic club as well as doing training for my own tennis all summer.
When I was looking for housing options, some of our family friends really helped me out. Our family friends have family friends that live super close to the club I will be working at. That family offered to host me to help keep my expenses down. The family has kids!!!! Not only kids, two sons! Yes, I will be living with the family for about 12 weeks and there is an 8 year old boy and a 6 year old boy. I am so dang excited to temporarily be part of a family with young children.
I am going over to Bellevue to meet the family next Friday. I really hope I will fit into their family and home. I haven’t had a young sibling for quite some time since my younger sister is almost 16. I truly hope that by the end of the summer the two boys will view me as a sister figure.
Awww, this is so fun and exciting for you, Erica! Honestly, I can't imagine what it's like to not have brothers, since I have 5! But I can sense your eagerness to be a part of this family. I wish you the absolute best in meeting them and taking on the adventure of a new family/home for the summer!
ReplyDeleteI have one brother and he is amazing. There is nothing like the love from your brother. You will love living with those boys. I bet they will be so much fun. This is a dramatic change but an adventurous one that you will remember forever.
ReplyDeleteErica,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are going to have fun, and Belleview is a beautiful place. That is great that you are able to work on your own tennis skills while getting paid to teach others. I wish you the best with both the new siblings, and teaching!
