Things have been so busy around here that I haven't had a chance to blog for a while, sorry to all of my readers...I know there are at least a couple of you out there :-)
June and July were the traveling months for me. I started June off with going on a Leadership retreat with our church youth group and ended July with a trip to Mississippi to help the hurricane Katrina victims.
The leadership retreat was great, I got to spend some time relaxing and swimming (in a spring fed lake....brrrrrr). After returning from that trip Steve and I were on vacation. We stayed around the house and went camping with some friends. The camping was amazing as we got to stay in there camper (man those things are homes on wheels). I got their daughter her first fishing pole and their son caught his first fish while out on our canoe with Steve and his dad. It was a great time.
The Mississippi trip was such a blessing. I got to spend some time with the locals and hear their stories. The people I met were amazing, even though they had lost everything their spirits were still high. I can't tell you how many times I heard one of them say, What are you gonna do, you just have to keep going....you cry and are sad but then you just have to go on. I was completely amazed by how much damage there still is a year later, some places look like the hurricane just went through yesterday. We were in one of the hardest hit parts of Mississippi too. We were in the Gulfport, DeLisle, Pass Christian area basically where the eye of the storm hit. It really makes you thankful for what you have.
Well, that's a quick glance at what's been going on....more blogging to come.
