What are we doing, you ask?

We've been keeping busy. And here I naively thought that summer would slow things down... it's really only changed what it is that keeps us so busy. Joel, in addition to working two jobs, has been fixing up our house for the renters who are going to move in in either late July or early August. We were so thrilled to find friends who wanted to rent the house for a year. Wonderful. He has now painted all our interior doors white, our front door red, and is working on building trim for the windows. He is also playing softball for a city league (Go Whammers! No, the name hasn't changed...).
I'm working 25 hours at Hall Closet, also doing work around the house, and finding my time very filled up with being the new senior editor for Thought Meadow magazine. Thought Meadow is a Christian women's magazine that was started last year by friends of mine for the "edification of souls and sharpening of minds." We're working on our third issue now, and I just love doing all the administrative chores that go into making each issue come out. You can check it out at: thoughtmeadow.com/blog.
Whiskey, the most productive member of our family, has been doing her favorite summer activity: sleeping.
