hi.
lots of things going on lately.
we are still without a niece, but she could be with us any day now. (!)
fall is sloowly creeping into the valley. no real leaf color changes yet, but our nights have been cooling off more and more (one of my favorite things about fall) and the days are getting shorter (my least favorite part)
ross and i attended our first Hokie football game of the season (:: huge sigh of nostalgia::) – and what a game it was. tailgating with fam and friends, the stadium crammed with 69,000 orange-clad fans, screaming till i’m hoarse on defense and screaming silently in my head on offense.
attempting a fall garden this year. the seeds are in, now we just need to get ourselves in gear and plant them.
puppy #2 growing bigger all the time. he’s so snuggly and mellow i almost forget he’s only 13 weeks old.
a great trip last week to the Farmer’s Market. another thing I’ll miss once it gets really cold. :: tomatoes, potatoes, squash, basil, greens, dill, a beautiful bouquet of flowers, and the last of sweet summer corn::
reading the Great Prayer Adventure by David Jeremiah. prayer is such a powerful thing – i know because i’ve seen it work – and yet i don’t get excited about it like i should.
our small youth group is still hanging in there. although i love structure, we let go of it last week and spent the whole time playing a hilarious game of “Psychiatrist.” My defense is that fellowship is a crucial part of the faith. :) Did Jesus not laugh sometimes with his disciples? I’d like to think He did.
happy monday everyone.
