Brad and Claire were house-sitting for Brad's boss and they graciously invited us to spend an evening with them there. Swimming, paddling and general hilarity ensued.

Ramblings
It's been a while, eh? Let's see...what's been going on?
Nate and I celebrated our 4th anniversary on the 14th. We went to Maine, as usual, and went shopping in Kittery and Freeport. We even did some yard saling on Friday! We didn't spend a whole lot of money, just enjoyed being together and browsing. I'm definitely lucky that my husband enjoys shopping with me!
Um, what else...
The power was out for a while last night. We had to listen to the Red Sox game on Nate's wind up radio instead of watch it on TV. Poor pitiful us. Actually, it was super annoying to come home from a long day at work to no power. Grrr.
So, I'm sure you're all thrilled. Today the excitement included sorting out my glasses and mugs cupboard. Woohoo.
Paul had an excellent church service on Sunday. It was like he was reading exactly what has been on my heart and mind recently. He talked about Faith. One of the verses we turned to was where the man says to Jesus, "I do believe, but help my unbelief." Sometimes this is where we are. Nate and I have been praying about our future and where it might lead us. I keep reminding myself to trust that God has our lives laid out perfectly and that He cares more about our future than we do. Sometimes when discouraging things come along, or when our dreams for the future crumble it's hard to believe and keep going. I know that God is good. He loves me. I do believe, help my unbelief.
There you have it. I hope my ramblings haven't put you to sleep! Now I'm off to walk on the treadmill for a while. Yes, the excitement continues.
(I just ran spell check on this and it wanted me to replace Nate with NATO. Hmmm.)

Why?
Nate and I were on the road a few days ago driving home when we spotted this guy on the side of the road walking and pulling his bicycle along with him. The road was level and it was a beautiful day so we were both puzzled as to why he wasn't riding! Wouldn't it be easier? So, then we came up with some excuses for him:
~ Maybe he had a flat tire.
~ Maybe he actually doesn't know how to ride.
~ Maybe he had saddle sores.
~ Maybe, partway through his ride, he forgot how!
Any other ideas?
