I guess I forgot to blog last week.

What's new?

Well, it was kinda cool--I went outside with Joy two weekend's ago just in time to see the neighbor coming over to bring us some of her rhubarb. So we chatted for a while. She asked why we were here and I mentioned the church and Mike's family. She gets all excited, "You are an answer to prayer!" She exclaims. She says she's been praying for christians to move in this house. I told her that the guys who will be here after us will not let her down, (Mike's brothers and a few other guys from this church.) I thought that was pretty cool. Then she started telling me all about her favorite Moody Bible radio stations, Chicago brush removal, a little about her church, and her sons, her house, our house...it was actually quite informative. She knew all about our washer and dryer situation because they used to be hers!

I walked to the library with my Hannah Montana fan tonight. She told me her family is moving back to Mexico at the end of the summer. Kinda sad, but I can see how they'd want to be closer to family. She has told me that her little 2 yr. old brother is crazy about Joy and stands at the window saying, "I"m here Joy! I'm over here! Hi Joy!" from the window (only in Spanish.) Pretty cute!

Mike's been working pretty hard lately--almost constantly. Trying to finish up Markup Factory, his big project with Cramer Dev. I didn't know what to do with myself last week, so I decided to get a pool pass. We don't have AC right now--our's broke--so it seems like the best way to meet other moms and stay cool. Poor Joy's been all sweaty. Anyway, I contacted the park district, which happened to be a person who goes to our church. And she got me all registered. When I went in to pay, the worker told me it was already paid for--she thought by a specific person, but when I asked that person, they knew nothing of it. Kinda interesting, but somehow I got a free park pass! ($60!) And the waterpark/pool is pretty sweet. That was a blessing.

I took Joy to the water park and she was really scared--crying almost the whole time. Then this past weekend we went to the family cabin, and Joy did great in the lake.  We'll have to try the pool again this week.
