It's been a while..

I didn't realize how long it's been since I've written anything. Guess life has been too crazy. Let's see...what has happened in the last month.....
Well, the kids finally finished up school in late June. So, now we are trying to adjust to our summer schedule and being together all day long. Our weather has been strange, so even though we've enjoyed the lake a little so far, it's not as warm and dry as it usually is by now. Hopefully July will be a little more summer-like.
Kevin and I had a nice week-end get away to KY last week-end for my 15th year college reunion. Where does the time go??? It was nice to see some old friends and show Kevin around my old stomping grounds (college and seminary). It was a quick trip, though. Too short!
I've been trying to get a lot of things done around the house--spring cleaning, painting, yard work. Little by little things are getting done, although the weather has put a damp on the progress--literally!
Today, I'm heading out later this morning with my trainer to do a long swim in the lake. I'm still trying to get used to wearing a wet suit to swim. I'm quite nervous to swim in the ocean. And, actually, weather-permitting, I plan to do a 'practice' swim in the ocean tomorrow afternoon with another man from church (also training for a triathlon) to get the feel of it. My relay is coming up in 2 weeks! Yikes!! My full triathlon is about a month away. That one doesn't make me as nervous as my relay. Maybe after the relay is over I'll think more about the other.
I'm also beginning to think about and focus on my trip to Guatemala in July. Seems like I've hardly thought about it and it's coming up in 3 weeks! I'm excited to be able to go with my sister, Abbey. I am looking forward to seeing my Guatemalan family, too! :)
Other than that, we keep busy with church activities, etc. as usual. Time flies....
