geez, i just run and run and run and never seem to get anywhere! anyway, in the past few days, we've been really blessed to have great (and not-so-great) activities! friday, our friend, aaron, took us on his sailboat for a ride down the ohio river... okay, not always a scenic area, but the sail was lovely and the sunset was fabulous! saturday, ed & i worked in our yard. i HATE yardwork, but was trying to make my hubby happy. i ended up with blisters on my fingers and what looks like poison ivy (don't think it is, but i'm not sure what it would be). however, our yard does look a lot better! saturday night, we had dinner with good friends. sunday - before church - i was up on our roof cleaning the gutters... this time, the thrill of such a dangerous task was more scary than exciting. i think we'll go with ed's plan from now on and hire out! then, after church, we headed out to monroeville to attend a party for sheela, chris & kaya (who are moving to bangladesh... i hope that's not going to be the new "hot spot" to move to... although i think sheela's "lady of leisure" experience might be one i want to have!). still a little strange to think that this is where my friends are moving (i thought friends moving to hawaii was too far!!), but i'm really excited for them! what an incredible opportunity!! after the party, we stopped by at my parents' and took part in the "sunday dinner" with the rest of the family in the east end. (we usually don't drive all the way out there for the weekly gathering.) finally, yesterday, ed & i headed to children's hospital after work to take dinner to my friend, lisa, who is there with her 4 year old (waiting for a heart transplant). despite the location/situation, we had such a fun visit! (helps that he's adorable and has one of the BEST personalities ever!) anyway, it's been a whirlwind few days. tonight, we'll slow down... sorta... actually, i'll be heading to walmart for a "big shop"... yes, that's what you have to do on a regular basis when you have 4 growing boys who eat so much that the cupboards are empty all the time! good times.
