Our Last Yard Sale

We had our last yard sale on Saturday in an attempt to get rid of more of our belongings. There was rain in the forecast but by 8:00 am the chance of rain was supposed to go down to 30%. In Texas 30% chance of rain means no rain but in VA it actually means you might get rain. After staying up until after midnight, Dan and I woke up at 6:30 in the morning to start dragging our junk outside. We got most of it out and decided to go put up the signs around the neighborhood. Before we got back home from putting up signs it started to rain. We put several things back into the house and sat in the living room, staring outside, trying to decide whether or not we should just cancel the whole thing. As soon as I decided to go pull up the signs two cars come pulling up. Well, after a couple rain showers here and there, enduring lots of mosquito's and fatigue, we got through the day, made some money and our junk became someone else's treasure. Then, we went to the Korean festival in town and ate lots of good food.

Blessed visit with AJ

Alekcey and Judith, the missionaries we'll be working with in Costa Rica, came to visit us last week. We had such a blessed time with them. We got a lot of our questions answered and answers to questions we didn't know to ask. On Monday night we had a get-together at church for our family and friends to meet Alekcey and Judith. On Tues. and Wed. we showed them around DC and the Pentagon. I wish we had had a few more days with them.

Our Summer

We've had a busy summer this year. We went to West Virginia to visit my dad. It's the first time in 24 years that I've seen my dad. It was a great visit. I plan on seeing him again before leaving VA. Dan and I went to the Creation Museum in Cincinatti (cool), then, we headed to Indiana for a family reunion. Our last trip for the summer was a trip to Williamsburg, VA then to Virginia beach for some awesome body surfing.

In between our trips, Dan and I spent many hours on our bikes taking trips to downtown DC and to Mount Vernon (George Washington's house).

Now, life is back to normal. Cristen and Dustin started school last Tuesday, I'm back to grading, cleaning house, selling our belongings online and etc...
