Normal
Well, I can't honestly say things are beginning to feel completely normal-- but it's the closest it's been in a long time (PTL!).
We had a great weekend in New Braunfels going to Schlitterbaun (America's #1 Water Park) with the Deanie's sister and her kids. It was a blast and very relaxing. I spent about 3 hours in the "Lazy River" which isn't lazy at all-- it has huge three-foot waves! Grayson and I had a blast together, I know it will be a big "memory" day for our family. Later in the evening, Deanie's mom took us out to dinner. We had a great time together and laughed a lot!
Sunday was awesome! I got to sing on the praise team-- a different group than I usually sing with-- and it was an outstanding worship time. It was a cool and grey day and it made us think of Illinois! We went shopping for sweatshirts since we didn't pack any to bring with us down here! Sunday night both the kids had activities at church, so we went out for dinner with some of our new friends. It was very relaxing and we had a great time-- I believe these people could easily become our new best friends down here. It's been so hard to leave our close-knit group of friends in Illinois-- this was the first time I actually felt like we could be getting close to making the same kind of friendships again!
Yesterday, work went extremely well! We got over a major hurdle on a project I've been working on that has just languished for months now... and then yesterday there was this big break-through! Boy, did that feel good and take some pressure off!!
So, it looks like normal is just around the corner. Now, if we could just sell that house...
Father, thank you for your love and caring. We praise you for all the works you are doing in and through us. Thank you for your provision and protection. Amen.

'Grey' reminds you of Illinois...!? Bro, what's up with that?
Glad to hear things are 'normalizing' a bit for you!
Blugs!
You are not going to get much wear out of that sweatshirt.....
Glad things are getting close to "normal"
Sorry we won't be seeing you at Zoe.
Why is it we always long for "normal"?
Sounds like you are nearing your "new normal"--and I am so happy for you!!!
You are not going to Zoe this year???

Thinking of you Skip-Bro, and missing you lots. Glad to hear that you're getting connected to your new church family and that you're able to use your gifts there.
Drop me a line sometime and/or give me a call. I'd love to get the "full story" on your Texas adventures!
Waiting for the monthly report! ;)
