Back in the Pool again! (we're finally well!)

A hug
a sweet smile
a picnic

It was a Looooonnnngg couple of days...but we're well and spending our time on much more pleasant tasks. We hit the symptom free for 24 hours mark today about 1pm. This morning, although I knew we needed to avoid people for one more day, i was bound and determined to get out of the house! So we went on a hunt for some much needed kitchen chairs. I've had my eye out for several months but today went by this big "rent to own" liquidation tent of used furniture. They had the perfect chair, used and a little battle scarred for $25 each! Solid wood so I know they'll stand up to even Nathan's loving use. :) Now my nicer chairs can be moved into the dining room with my new dining room table that Ben bought and finished(it was unfinished) for me this Summer. Ben was a real sweetheart and hung some pics for me last night and put together a bathroom cabinet. It's nice to feel even more moved in, settled.

The kids and I got a fabulous much needed nap in this afternoon and didn't get up till almost 5, which is when the panic set in... that means they're gonna be awake all night! So we filled up the pool and the kids made mud pies till the mosquitoes chased us back in.

If you would, pray for RUF Large group at Texas A&M which is tonight and pray for the ministry of RUF on the campus. Check out the website- www.aggieruf.org - for new pics, news, etc. as part of your blog reading routine and pray for us then. We are so excited to be here, have help from our new intern Katy Simpkins and be into the first week of school. I don't get to see firsthand alot of what's going on but Ben comes home with exciting stories about meeting new students and being involved with so many ministry opportunities.
