We have been busy lately....seriously! I'm not a good blogger for 2 reasons. When I have time, I feel like there's nothing interesting enough to write about and when we do have exciting things happening, I can't find a second to write!

The semester is coming to an end here at Troy. Our lives now revolve around a college school schedule though none of us are in school...funny. Rick put a volleyball tournament together last week to benefit Stella's house. It's a home in Moldova that rescues young girls from the sex trafficking industry. It's an amazing work! We didn't end up raising a ton of money, but got the awareness we were going for. Two of the young ladies actually came and told their story. Check out their website.

I have started a new job. I'm filling in for the secretary at Collegedale while she is out on maternity leave. It's gone well so far. It's pretty laid back, which is good. Benjamin comes with me sometimes so it helps that I can have some time to devote to him. He wouldn't have it any other way.

Benjamin currently has a green nose. It's been a purple-ish, blue-ish, gray-ish, now green. He was jumping on the bed at a friend's house and it didn't end well. Where were his parents you might ask....in the other room watching some dumb alligator show with the college students...real responsible I know. I think it hurt me more than him.

Today we had lots of fun. It was Rick's off day, which I always look forward to. It's kind of our family day. We put in our mailbox post and played in the sprinklers. It was great. Benjamin, I think was supposed to be a fish. This kid LOVES water! He can't resist playing in it, the sink, the bathtub, rain, puddles, pools, doesn't matter, has to touch it.

Our new home is really cozy. It feels more like home than most of the places we've lived since we were married. I feel like it was built just for us. On that note, Rick and I were talking today about a privacy fence. Yeah, didn't know those things were quite so expensive, but apparently we need one. There are a lot of small streams behind our house in the woods. Rick was talking to the builder today and found out they killed 2 moccasins in our little culdesac. fabulous. We have been outside behind the house everyday to play, it's about 30 feet from the woods, but we've been in the woods on several occasions...."exploring." Yeah, it'll be a while before we do that again. I'm a little paranoid and not a big fan of snakes, so I guess we'll be going with option A, the fence.

Well, I guess that's all for now. Hope you're having a blessed week!

Love,
