John and I recently took a road trip back up to Minnesota! While it was (again) a long drive, it was well worth the visit with family and friends. It was really enjoyable to stay at our own little townhome for the week...
Some highlights from our mini-vacation:
-John enjoyed spending time with cousins/family from Washington who were also in town
-Campfire, and movie night with the Sodergrens
-Abbey got a bit of girl time in with friends and sisters
-Big picnic at Grandma Ruters house with the Tiemanns
We also had some commitments with a funeral for Grandma Ruter while we were in MN, but it was still able to be a joyous time. Grandma knew Jesus and was ready to go home.
Our next trip is tentatively planned for Christmas time... Which really isn't that far away, only 3.5 months! (Wow, time flies.)
In Oklahoma news, not much is new. The weather is continually hot, though it does cool off in the evenings a little more now.
In our Sunday School group we have now divided into smaller, more intimate groups for the fall, in hopes that people will be more open and willing to share. I am now the email coordinator for our little group.
John's work continues in the sunshine. He comes home so filthy and full of concrete and reddish dirt, that I give him a quick welcome home kiss and send him straight to the shower. I'm grateful that he's such a hard worker.
Chick-Fil-A is still my place of employment, and in addition to my meager hours each week, I've been busy reading a new book series, and organizing my life. Busy week coming up!
We are so content and happy, in love with each other and our Lord...
