Keeping Busy -and- My Finger Hurts

I guess that I'd better post something, if for no other reason than to get the Veggietales stuff off the top of the blog. It's been a hectic past few weeks.

Very happily, my parents spent the past week and a half in Honolulu. My Dad was sent out for job stuff, and my Mom headed out to Hawaii to meet him a week later. They just got back late last night. My younger brother was also in Virginia Beach for several days, which meant I got to take care of the house and our Cocker Spaniel while everyone was out. Over this past weekend, I left home too for a men's retreat out near the VA/WV border that was done by my church. A handful of us braved the 40-degree weather and near-constant rain from the recent nor'easter and slept in an open-air wood cabin for 2 nights (note: you learn how to keep warm FAST.) The speaker was awesome - he spoke on discipleship, and I really need to go back over the notes I took.

In other news, I smashed my right index finger in a door this Monday and put a quarter-inch crack across my fingernail. Ow. This weekend, I'm headed back out backpacking with Dale Zilke and his Boy Scout group (Dale was my small group leader at last week's retreat, and he's also heading up the Montana backpacking trip for later this coming summer.) And... next weekend is Ben Lloyd's wedding! I should have plenty of photos coming up in the next several weeks!
