back at home......

so, here i am. back at home. last week is a blur. but, at the moment, i'm feeling kinda down and lonely. i had so much fun getting to see so many people i never have time to visit. now, back to the same ol' thing. i've had a good day. today was really my first day back. sunday's are so crazy by themselves, they don't count. kassidy and i enjoyed breakfast, we played, i cleaned, we showered and played some more. i went on to the chiropractor. it was such a relief to get adjusted. i usually do at-home traction 5 days a week. i forgot to take it with me. i also fogot to put in new pieces of my heel lift, so my short leg didn't get the adjustment it was ready for. oh, well. things happen. but i could seriously tell it was time for an adjustment. it got rid of my two day headache, which was awesome.

on another note, i really miss reading comments or any of your blogs. i feel like i have nothing to do online now. i know everyone's getting busy with summer coming, but.... well, i don't want to beg, but i do miss you all.

chrissi, i hope everything with your dad went okay. i never heard back. if i don't hear from you soon, i'll call ya.

kassidy had her first visit to the cincy zoo. we liked it. i thought her favorite animal would be the elephant, but it turned out to be the monkeys. it's what she's still talking about. i'll have to post some pictures soon. we had a good dinner with kati, jimi, chrissi, and cheryl at the o.garden. i miss that restaurant. at one point during dinner she looked around and said, "friends! mommy's friends. kassie's friends." it was so sweet to me. she knew they were my friends even though we don't get to see them. and she knew if they were my friends, they were her friends too. how precious. she really does understand so much.

we got to see family in town and visit memaw's school, too. and at the last minute, we had a surprise dinner for memaw when she got back with tim and bethany. it was nice, except we missed michael. that complete's the circle.

on michael's note, things are beginning to settle down. most of his graduate work is finished. his ktip is turned in and he's just waiting on paper work. teaching is mellowing out. (he busted his first smoking in the bathroom!) church, well, church is another story. and football isn't going on, but he's been planning a lot and that's all getting settled. anyway, ya know it's like god's bringing peace to the other areas in his/our life to prepare us for the church crap that's taking place. i'm not going to go into all of it, but i'd like to ask you each to pray for god's distinct guidance in the steps we take regarding our church's leadership. michael is finding it tough to be the godly man each is called to be; he knows i support him, but he's really putting himself out there. us as well. i know that's what scares him most. not himself, but me and kassidy. anyway, if you could each just pray. thanks.

okay, so the empty lonely feeling isn't gone yet, but i have some time with the hubby before bed. i know that will help. just being in his presence and feeling loved. he has thursday off and i'm looking forward to that day of no plans. then friday we're getting together with friends we haven't seen in months. that will be good. i'll talk to you all later. thanks for keeping posted on my life and caring.
