It's been a bit, but I promise we are still alive and well! :)
I did have an excuse not to blog for a while, due to the fact the computer decided it was not going to work anymore. We went almost a month (can you believe it) without having a computer. THank goodness for smartphones?! Anyways, we are very grateful that a friend came along who was selling just what we wanted in a new one. Again, we are the owner of a macbook laptop. Yay!
As far as life goes, we have been surprisingly busy as of late.
We've made some new and very sweet friends lately. While it took a while to get to know couples from our Sunday School class in that environment, we decided to step it up... Our friends Phil and Elissa decided with us that we should have a "game night". Since they have a little guy, we went to their house and played for a couple hours after his bedtime. I'll be honest, we played Xbox for hours that evening. But it was fun to spend some time with them. We've now turned "game night" into a weekly weeknight event. Cards, Wii golf, snacks, and laughter all included.
The other dear friends we have are Josh and Darah. These two are a bit closer in age, and have no children yet, so we have found much in common. Went on a double date night to an italian place a couple weeks ago- We enjoyed their company quite a bit and opted to drive over to their home for another hour after dinner to talk. So far we are making plans for going rappelling in the mountains with them, and playing frisbee golf in the park. Darah and I had a coffee date a few days ago, and had such a nice visit.
John is working hard. The weather has been quite awful for outdoor work though. I really admire his grit and stamina for hanging in there. Both of us hope his project gets some walls up soon! With some of the rainstorms lately the air is very humid, and consistently above 100 degrees during the day. I'm not sure either of us could get anymore color (tan) than we already are.
We are heading to Oklahoma City tomorrow for an outing. Hoping to see the war memorial in town, and check out the local shopping. John heard there is an amazing gun shop, and an Oakley Vault. I'm sure he'll be happy. I'm just glad that we can do something this weekend. Sometimes it can be slow on the weekends for us, as it's not even fun to be in the pool with 30 other people. :P
We are consistently amazing by the love the Lord shows us in the simple ways he provides, and have some some great evening chats about this recently. (Been trying to take a walk in the evenings despite the heat, and it provides wonderful deep discussion opportunities.)
Love you all! Until later
-Abbey
