I admit it.

I don’t have the gift of blogging.

It overwhelms me to even think about writing a post.  (probably because I write so rarely)

However, I am going to take this time to attempt to tell you all about our summer! (if I can remember what we did)

We have been to Memphis in June, July, AND August.  I am actually sitting on my parent’s couch as I type with Brandon sitting next to me playing on his iPhone, my dad snoring in his chair, mom relaxing watching football, Greg laying in the floor watching football, Shannon & Thomas in bed.  It’s wonderful to be surrounded by family!  I have found myself slightly homesick the last few weeks, and I think what I really needed was some QT with family.  It’s great!  We came in town for Kim’s baby shower and I have to say – it made me happy to see friends that I haven’t seen in years(!!) and sad that I can’t be better about keeping in touch with these wonderful girls.

This is the 3rd time we have been in town this summer…  We came in June because we hadn’t been here since Christmas and figured it was about time to make the trek.  In July, we brought 4 of our greatest friends from Louisville to show them around the city of Memphis, which included, Rendezvous, Beale Street, the Peabody, and the Madison (all in about 6 hours).  It was a whirlwind trip, but a great one!  It’s nice to get the opportunity to show friends where you grew up and have them meet the people that mean the most to you – family!

This summer we have gone to Morgantown, KY for the annual Father’s day cookout at the Flener’s, swam multiple times at friend’s pools, had my parents and Greg, Shannon, & Thomas in town to help us landscape our backyard, learned that we are going to have another neice/nephew(congrats Greg & Shannon), seen Dave Matthews in concert(awesome), traveled to Cincinatti, traveled to Richmond, KY to see EKU(where 4 of our friends graduated from), had many cookouts in our backyard, seen Boyz II Men in concert (also awesome), gone to the KY State Fair, taken bike rides around town, and have really enjoyed to nice weather the Lord has blessed us with in good ole Louisville.

Brandon officially started classes last week, his last semester at SBTS.  That seems so strange to say, almost unbelievable.  Like we have said before, we can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store for us!!

I hope people still read this, as I have neglected it for over 2 months.  I’m sorry for that, and I hope to be better!  I want to add pictures when I get home; I am on Brandon’s computer and have no idea how to find any on here!
