I guess I've been too busy reading everyone else's blogs to keep up with my own. Really I don't have any good pictures to post, and I don't feel like I'm much of a writer. So, if I don't have any pictures, I don't blog. This isn't good because lots has been going on here.
First, here's why I don't have any good pictures. Last week was our 19th wedding anniversary (hard to believe), and Greg bought me an awesome digital SLR camera. I have been wanting one for a year or more. It's is great, but I just don't have the time right now to read the manual and figure out how to use it.
Second, we took a quick trip to Atlanta this weekend to see a Braves game with Steven Curtis Chapman in concert after the game. The game was HOT! We only saw half as we were late arriving. After the game, we moved down to the concert area and waited while they set up the equipment. After it was all set up, they proceeded to cover it up because it was thundering and lightening in the distance and closing in quickly. They decided to wait the storm out as it was supposed to pass over in 30 minutes. It did. However, it was too dangerous to uncover the equipment and play the planned set. So, Steven came up and did a completely unplanned set with just his voice and guitar. He talked a lot about the loss of their little girl Maria in May. It was the first time he ever looked his age (which is just 17 days older than me!). It was an incredible time, even though I wept through a great deal of it.
Third, we started school for the most part today. I decided last year to do a rolling start from then on. So, last week, we started 1 or 2 subjects each. This week we added our Sonlight stuff. Next week, we'll add everything else.
It's going to be a busy week. Tonight is our only night home. The boys have CAP tomorrow night. Church and lessons and rehearsal after church will fill up Wednesday afternoon and evening. Thursday night we're spending with our dear friends who are moving to Greenville, SC, to start a church. Friday night I have an LASIK check-up in Tampa at 6pm, then we plan to meet up with some other dear friends who have moved there. Then it'll be a long weekend as I'm playing at church. Whew! Pray for me as we try to figure out what is causing this overwhelming exhaustion and fix it!

I'm praying for you my friend. I'm sorry your feelings so overwhelmed. Stay safe in your upcoming travels :) .
Linda - how fun to get a new camera. What kind did you get? Can't wait to see some fantastic pictures.
Kathy - it's an Olympus Evolt 330. I have no idea what that means. All I know is that I need someone to teach me how to use it. This manual is for the birds. I just don't have the time to play with it, and it's making me feel OLD!
Good to see you have your camera working! I don't think one has to be "much of a writer," but I guess I can say that since I think that about myself, lol.
What an emotional concert, wow.
Happy Anniversary!
Linda, we do that same thing, I like your term, "rolling start"!
