We've Been Busy

Sorry for the recent posting drought. Nathan and I have been very busy. Here's a quick update.

1. We found evidence of mice in our house, two of which we promptly caught with traps. Pictures and other grossness to follow.

2. We hosted Tim and Josh of the band M. Fillmore overnight before they did a concert at my school. Tim and I had a random Taylor connection. My heart was so happy to speak with Rico on the phone for about 10 minutes.

3. We hosted our friend/missionary to the Amazon/Nathan's former roommate, Dave, overnight a few days later. It was wonderful to catch up with him and to hear how things are for him in Peru.

4. We got a deck put on our house on the back, right outside of the "door that leads to nowhere." It's beautiful! A friend from church, Mark, and his crew did an amazing job. They're also putting new wooden posts on in the front of the house as I type.

5. We hosted the Super Bowl party for the Christ Church youth on Sunday. Nathan set up the big screen, projector, and innumerable couches in the living room. Carter and Liz got "re-engaged" during half time. This year's bonfire had flames leaping probably 15 feet in the air. I ate too many sweets and stayed up too late watching that special episode of The Office.

6. We hosted/are hosting movie nights Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights of this week. We needed to honor Nathan's efforts in moving all of that stuff into the living room... and we needed to get rid of the sweets I gorged myself on on Sunday. We have a pudding cake and lots of ketchup left over if you want to come over tonight. :)

7. We will be leading a ski trip for the youth to North Carolina this weekend, leaving on Friday and coming home Sunday night.

Whew!

I'll post pictures of as many of these events as I can in the near future. Thanks for continuing to check up on the blog.
