Summertime!

Well, I've received several constructive comments that I must update our blog, so here I finally am. This summer has been busy but very nice. Since Chris has the summer off with teaching, he has been able to work at his old company - Manor Concrete. I was a little concerned about how he would do with the heavy work and longs hours, but he's doing great! He has some aches and pains here and there, but it's been a very long time since he's had a pain flare-up. He will have a check up before the summer is done, but going by how he feels, it seems things will be fine. He also played softball on a church league this spring/summer (pictures are above). I'm working starting up my own wellness consulting business and keeping busy with that. We worked on some minor landscaping in the front of the house a few weeks ago, so we'll see what color my thumb is! (I'm hoping for green - but I'm not doing too well with my inside plants!)

We are going to Nashville in a couple of weeks for a conference, then our annual Bayfield trip with my family is in mid-August. This year, I "suggested" to Chris that we get a cabin near the campsite where the family is camping - rather than camp ourselves. I'm pretty sure I put my time in with camping and don't seem to be very excited about doing it in the near future. So, we are staying across the street from the campsite... (Maybe my family as happy as I am about that one.) Our 5 year anniversary is this week (the 26th). We plan to go out for dinner, and then we get to pick out our own gifts this year! Very romantic, I know... (don't blame this on Chris - it was my idea.)

Well, that's the news for now. I'll post some more pictures after our trips in August.
