Catching Up

I haven't blogged in ages, so until I get around to the details, here's all the things that have happened, or been on my mind, or that I've wondered about in bullet point form.

- There has been TONS of stuff going on over the past month or so (i.e. vacation, launching a new campus, etc.) and, sad to say, I have been terrible at documenting it all. It will all get blogged eventually.
- It's been nice being home, although I miss the travelling a bit.
- I'm having fun catching up with family and friends that I've really been missing (both due to being gone and just moving to the other side of town)
- Also enjoying getting back to "work". Being gone gave me a chance for some new vision, big picture stuff, and I'm excited.
- Aaron went to Leadership Summit last week and was really inspired. Very cool stuff!
- We're starting to hit the ground running with all the multi-site stuff. It's scary and super exciting all at the same time!
- The kids are doing great and are really enjoying their summer!
- Lost my glasses a couple months ago and finally got new ones today, so hopefully that's GOODBYE to the two month long headache I've had.
- I'm discovering I really enjoy gardening. Well, okay, i only have one flowerbed right now... in which I planted things that I would have to do NOTHING to... But I love watching it grow. Dunno why. I'm really excited to landscape the back yard. I want to plant vegetables, herbs, and a cutting garden. May all have to wait until next spring, but I'm excited about it nonetheless.
- My vision is FINALLY coming together for our living room to. A lot of you know it's had me totally locked up since we moved in. Not sure when it'll get done, but I'm really excited about it now!
- I've been having some really great quiet times lately (out on our new deck) and have heard some great messages (you should definitely, absolutely check these out). God's really been speaking to me a lot lately.

And because a post is always better with a picture, here's one of my boys grilling together...

All in all, things are good. Much more to come if I ever get around to it. I've been trying to spend less time at my computer, so I'll figure out a good balance one of these days!
