Just a Quick Post About A Man Visiting

Our friend from Afghanistan, but more recently hailing from the south (known as "a man") visited this weekend. He and B went to West Point to look at the museum and walk around. These pictures are of this really pretty overlook on the way up to West Point:














This is one of B's best friends from college. Quite a good man indeed. Unfortunately I didn't get to go b/c it was study time for the MPRE's - the multi state professional responsibility exam. I had to go to a study session and watch a 6 hour review video. I will not say any more about this b/c I'm afraid I might bore someone to sleep. Anyway, I think we are just recently discovering all the beautiful places that we can visit right near home.

Not too much else is new - just trying to draw the summer out as long as possible. I'll be checking in again soon. Hope everyone out there had a lovely & relaxing weekend.

Time with B and Lazy Summer Evenings

Here I am again. In true-to-myself form I began this blog with a running start and now I've disappeared for a month. But now I have some new pictures to post and write about, and I have no excuse of being kept busy with homework. I love summer evenings when I'm not in school - especially being able to come home and have dinner with B and hang out with him, chat about the day and laugh a lot. I miss that so much during the year when I have to rush off to school right after work. But I'm so thankful that we have these summer evenings and weekends, and that school is almost done with. I think one of the greatest blessings of being married is having your favorite person in the world right there with you in the same house - to just be with, to laugh, or to talk some problem over that you just can't find a solution to on your own, or just talk about something that your are excited about. Sorry, didn't mean for this post to turn mushy, I know the sarcastic ones are more entertaining - but I know our marriage is a blessing, its time for me to post, and so there it is.

Sometimes we like to take walks around parks in our area, and B has decided he wants to start a hobby in photography. So this past weekend we drove to an area near us that is newly restored and the pictures we took are scattered throughout this post.

Ever not realize you have terrible posture until you see yourself in pictures? That's a fabulous S-shape I'm forming that I'm sure my chiropractor would be overjoyed about.

I can report there were no bites received or squiggly things felt in the water. Anyway, guess that's about it for tonight, hope everyone is having a relaxing evening. Thank you to God for all His blessings.

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgement, because in this world we are like Him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:16-18
