Re-charging life’s batteries with friends and nature.
As the school year begins to wind down and blessed summer approaches, I am amazed at how fast it went (some days not fast enough), what we have gotten accomplished, and new challenges pursued.
My first class to my third degree (two of which are masters, thank you very much) has hit the midpoint. I am so grateful to God that I was able to find a permanent position this year and am praying for direction this next year. Luke is still loving his job and has reached that point in his project where meetings will require him to travel. =( Katy has had a lot of experience in that department since January or February, practically living in not just another town, but another state during the week and being lavished by love from her family on the weekends.
This year will also be known for the changes not only in our selves but our residences. Everyone knows that we are building, but Katy and Buster are also expanding their family from an apartment to a house. Mom is also remodeling her house. (I say Mom, because Dad, I think, is trying to stay invisible in this department) haha. Mrs. Ann and Mr. Tony are also beginning to think change with retirement coming up… Know that I am constantly on the lookout for camp host positions this side of the navigational beacon.
With changes, though, a re-charging session can be needed. Luke and I took our very brief re-charging session this weekend and it was so worth it. We went to Fort Mountain, GA. The landscape is breathtaking. I had no idea the Southern U.S. could look like that. We camped Friday night and after apple cinnamon pancakes, went for a hike and bike ride. After two of the six miles on a trail, we transferred to the hilltop pavement… intense. No one would have been called weak to have sat out that ride, but I set my mind to finish it on my bike and I did… without the asthma inhaler.
In the Spring folder, there are some pictures from Diva night at Fleet Feet. This is the store that sponsors our 5K training. They also host training series for 10Ks, triathlons, and marathons. Diva night was only for the ladies. We were offered a nice discount on all merchandise, chocolate delicacies, wine (from which Lynn and I did not partake of, thank you very much), professional bra fittings, session with a nutritionist, free massages, and much much more… did I mention a belly dancing showing?
The new pictures for this post are found in the 2009 -Spring, House, and Ft. Mountain
