so... tired...

We have the new house! Keys and everything. It's been keeping me incredibly busy, this whole moving-thing. It'll be Bart, Buck, Ryan, and myself, in a cozy little house. I am pretty excited about it.

God has a plan. And a good one, at that.

And I am thankful for friends that help me remember that that's the case. Good friends are hard to come by, but they're worth their weight in gold.

home for the 4th!

On Tuesday night I flew home to Norcal for a little vacation. And it has been great!

In the last 36 or so hours, my sister has gotten engaged, I've had home-made ice cream and listened to good old-timey music, I've had great talks with my parents on everything from relationships to Oswald Chambers (which are not really that separate?), I've had fun with my two remaining dogs, I got a nice sunburn, I caught up with an old friend or two, I've doubled my knowledge of WWI naval history, I listened to country music, finished reading one of Colleen's novels, started reading Howl's Moving Castle (which is really well-written, by the way), picked up a copy of Erasmus/Luther: Discourse on Free Will, and borrowed The Battle of Britain, What About Bob?, JC Superstar, The Knight's Tale, and Harold Lloyd's Safety Last, for projectorness.

I am very glad for my family. I love them so much! I am greatly blessed.
