Where to even begin??
This has been such an unpredictable, different kind of summer for my family. In the beginning Ben was away housesitting, Julianne was gone for a week to the Daughters of Virtue camp, 2 weeks for a trip to Colordo, and she, Luke and I just got back recently from a week at the Chicagoland camp. For about three weeks I was in Owensboro during my mom's illness and death.
Now that we are together again, things just seem to be happening so quickly. If things were up to me, I'd like to keep my family together a while longer even with all of the implications that entails in trying to blend 5 different personalities, especially for our drive to Bowling Green in a small car on the way to and from worship 3 times a week for 40 minutes each way. But I know I won't be able to freeze time or slow it down, so I'm just trying to enjoy the moments I have left and look forward to watching them spread their wings and grow in ways that they wouldn't be able to if they stayed. So I'll try and focus on the 'positive'. It will be easier to blend 3 personalities than 5, our food bill and laundry volume will be going down again--considerably, and we should have some joyful reunions when they come home and appreciate each other more after being separated, and hopefully I'll start calling Luke by his own name again and stop calling him Ben.
School will start Monday for my husband and Luke.
Ben will be heading back to FL a week from Monday, and then Julianne and I will start moving her down to FL on the 17th. She has been diligently working on going through about 12 years worth of things that have been collecting in her room.
Luke is excited about being an only child very soon.
Ben will be preaching at Eastside Sunday night for anyone within a reasonable driving distance interested in coming.
Paul Sheehan will be holding our gospel meeting August 26th-31st. He preached his first sermon at Eastside after his conversion in college when he was a very young Christian. We are looking forward to the week with him.
That's about it here in my little part of the world.

Thank you for the suggestions on my blog. That sounds good! Steve and I lived in BG when Paul Sheehan first came there. We worshiped at Twelfth Street and I believe that's where he worshiped, too. You'll have to check his feet and see if he's still wearing sandals! :)
