A Lame Blogger

I realize that I've done poorly in getting back into blogging. Life is a whirlwind right now.

For a quick recap:

• Dinner with Amy and Allen at the end of May
• Indy visit the next weekend--I got to see Kate!!!, and Kyle was able to spend hours at a car show with friends
• We gave away our living room furniture (couch, loveseat, & end table) and watched movies on a sheet and blanket with pillows in the front room for about 5 days
  
• We got mom & dad's blue couch and my favorite stereo of all time (it has an 8-track player and record player all in one giant piece of furniture--we're still awaiting a recliner from them, which will come our way once they get their new furniture)
• Kyle continues to find out more information about being a volunteer firefighter in the area, and has a very important and EARLY test in Indy this Saturday

Our summer is about to go by really quickly. Because I'm working (which is atypical for me in summertime), and it's turned out to be physical labor, I'm 100% mentally and physically exhausted every day. I can barely speak in complete sentences and I pretty much take a nap every day after work. I'm already burned out and have a whole summer ahead of me. Yuck.
Add to that the fact that my hands are shot from lifting, shifting, and moving around about 4000 Reference (= heavy, huge, and awkward) books in the last 10 days, and you'll see that I'm a complete wreck. There you will also find your answer as to why I haven't called.

Our weekends are filling up, which is both fun and tiring to think about. We're trying to fit in a couple of Indianapolis Indians games, game nights with friends, cook outs and bonfires with family, as well as keeping time for us to hang out on weekends, since we barely see each other during the week (like tonight -- Kyle got home at 8pm, was in bed by 9pm).

We're heading to Chicago this coming Monday night to meet up with the Wilsons and send off the Ghana crew. 1 year...really? Seems so long. But they are SO ready to be going and we can't wait to hear what God is doing in Accra.

If you want to hang out this summer, give us a call or drop a line and we'll make if official.
