Today my husband Steve and I celebrated our 19th anniversary! We actually spent Saturday celebrating but had a quick dinner out without kids tonight and shared cards with each other.
We still do not know the status of Steve's transplant evaluation. He had to have a second TB test; no, he does not have TB, but his first test was inconclusive. That delayed the process. In the meantime, Steve's family members have been descending upon our house every Saturday to help us complete all the work for the renovation. As exhausting as the process is, it is so encouraging to see family in action. I see Jesus in these men. The smiles speak volumes of the love put into the labor.
Now we are trying to plan an end of summer vacation on a, to put it politely, limited budget. hmmmmm. But our family needs a vacation. Originally we planned on Destin, but now we have nixed that in order to go for something a little friendlier on our billfold--visiting friends in Tennessee or perhaps elsewhere. How cool would that be if cousins from the east coast could meet up with us somewhere. The big thing is relaxing. Chilling out with some boating, fishing, soaking in the Appalachian air. I feel myself being transported as I type.....
