So I've decided that something needs to go up here because the other week, my own mother told me that the blog was boring, and if my mom gives negative feedback, I know she's serious. I know the picture of the ice dancers is fabulous and all, but she's right. You can only look at that guy and his weird face so often before he just gets downright creepy.

So part of the reason we haven't posted anything for a while is that we have been pretty legitimately busy. Joe had a few big papers due the other week, and I have been busy at work. Then we had a Youth Group trip last weekend, which went pretty well. We really love working with this group. It's definitely a lot different than the group at North Metro (we will always love you guys!), mainly because the group is quite a bit larger, but they are a great group, and we have enjoyed getting to know all of them better.

So, hmmm. What else has been going on? They've started knocking down a bunch of the houses around us because the college is building seminary housing on our street. It is pretty crazy. We look out the windows in our kitchen where there was once a huge tree and a house next door and not it is a huge dirt pile and the beginnings of foundation. As of right now the guys that own our house haven't sold it to the school, but they are thinking about it. So, we still might be able to live here another year, but maybe not. It would be a shame if they knocked down our house. It is one of the few around here that is still in really good condition. What else... ? Joe's entering week 10 in school, so soon enough, he will be done with his first year of grad school. Yea! Mr. Kitty is still as anti-social as ever. He reserves his love only for Joe and I. We had small group over here the other month, and he was quite displesased with the extra visitors.

Well, I'm not sure this post has been all that more interesting than the blank page. But at least an effort has been made to post on our blog. I apolgize for my husband's lack of motivation as of late in keeping you informed about our adventures out here in Hoosierland. If there is another big lapse in the posts and I have to take over again, I'll try to make it more interesting.
