Unconfortably numb

Nothing, nada, zilch, zippo, zero, one big fat goose egg....that's what I've had for the past few months as my mind has slowly turned to watermelon flavored slush puppy.  I can't even begin to explain it other than I haven't had the desire or the words to say much. 

Busy?  You betcha.  Here are a couple of updates for those of you who have been looking for me on the back of milk cartons.

Seminary - I just finished my first semester of seminary (A-) and have a bit of a break until January when classes begin.  I have signed up for Systematic Theology I, which makes me think there might be quite a bit of reading involved.

Family - M is doing much better during this pregnancy.  The first 12 weeks were so hard for her with sickness and a complete loss of energy.  Next Tuesday we go for the big ultrasound!  Now M is experiencing "expansion" pains and I will just leave it at that.  She is so cute though, you should see her, all 5' 2" inches of her round beautiful self.

Extended Family - Thanksgiving was a hoot this year, we replaced turkey with spotted owl, which I would not recommend, while the meat is exotic it has a "gamey" taste to it?  After a great time of food and fellowship we hit the field for our annual football game.  This year was perhaps one of the most evenly matched as both teams had great talent.  Joe's team won on game and my team won the other.  We ended up playing until dark thirty.

Bling - We sold the Yukon XL, I got tired of everyone calling me a playa and a pimp and singing "white and dirty" every time we drove up, the 13 mpg didn't help matters any.  So we did what we should have done in the first place listened to a certain Fluffy Cow and purchased the sweetest Honda Odyssey, which is a much better fit for the family.  

Post-election-traumatic-stress-disorder - OK, so he won...I get it.  I am moving on and praying for him.  Our country and our leaders need our prayers.

You?  How have you been lately?  I haven't heard much from you in a while?
