The windows in my house are fogged because of the heat and humidity outside compared to the cool inside temps. That is a true sign of the times we are living in...late July in West Virginia! Occasionally I like to pretend I am in a remote jungle somewhere. I leave the windows open and fans off, lay in bed and sweat, and refuse to kill bugs. I make rice for supper and wash my hair in the rain. However, right now with THIS jungle weather, I am a wuss with the air conditioning on.
A couple months, a couple trips, and a couple (or rather, a few) birthdays have passed since my last blog about Eden's birthday! Dustin traveled to Peru with the youth group from church, and while he was gone I entertained my "bff" for two weeks and then took the kids to visit with my brother and his family in Illinois. Nadia celebrated her 3rd birthday in Illinois for the second year in a row. We all (including Dustin) arrived back home on the 3rd of July, and Simone had her 5th birthday on the 7th. Six days later we had a wonderful dinner of turkey vegetable soup in honor of the end of Dustin's 34th year. A week later we took the kids for a short weekend vacation to Cincinnati to visit the Creation Museum and Cincinnati zoo. And now we are back home (again) to relax for the next few weeks of summer before school begins.
My pastor has referred to a quote a couple times lately that says something to the effect of "true mental health is a commitment to reality..." I've been thinking about the truth in that statement, and reality for me, among many things, is that I am blessed.
