Too Busy/Lazy to Blog?

It has been an entire month since I last posted. I have no real good excuse for not posting. Just have not done it. It has been a busy month and one of change for us, so here goes.

Our biggest news is Evelyn. Evelyn is an international student studying at DCA this school year. She is 16, very bright, and her English is getting better every day. She arrived a week ago Wednesday and has fit right in. Her first week consisted of Shelbi and Morgan coming home from a long summer of camp and a short week of fun at friends. She was immersed in western culture with getting a phone, international calling cards, attending a wedding I officiated on Sunday; church (a whole new experience for her) and school starting on Tuesday. We have ordered a computer for her, she is conversing with her family and friends via the computer and all together fitting in well. We have eaten chinese food twice in the last 7 days. We are fitting in too.

Shelbi and Morgan had a great summer with each working at different camps. It is great to have them home and Shelbi went to visit Mark, her beau, and they have arrived at our house now. All three of them (Mark, Shelbi and Morgan) head back to Union mid-to-late next week.

Sondra has been back at school for a month and doing great. She loves her job and I love her. Works great. I am pretty sure she loves me too. Sondra's mom is with us this week too! What a delight to have her around the house. She continues to do pretty well with some aches and pains but overall she is in very good health.

My work has been good and I have not traveled much the last few weeks which is good. I am in FL tonight, will lead a training session tomorrow and be back home tomorrow night. I am also helping in our college aged class at church and love being with those students. They are teaching me a lot. What a blessing to get to do what I get to do.
