a few things (1 of 2)

I will start out with the sad news first. Last month, Sam and Ashley decided to seperate. Pray for them as they will be dealing with a lot. Especially, pray for Austin. We love him dearly and want the best for him, and he is in a difficult situation for a 2 yr old.

We just got back from a week at the cottage. It is about 2 hours north of here in Wellston. Wellston is a booming town with one flashing red light. (add sarcasm here). Really, it is relaxing. There is no access to a computer (except through the library), no phone and hardly any cell phone service, and we only get two channels on the tv. This makes for lots of time to do puzzles, read, swim (lake is just across the street), read, eat, roast marshmellows, swim... did I mention eating? :) The library is within walking distance (so is everything else) so we read alot. There is also a tennis court and playground behind the elementary school. We usually play card games too. Needless to say, we are well-rested. I was bored a few times, but that is just me.
