Ok Ok. Here is a new post. I didn't even realize it's been over a month since the last post. Wow how time flies when you are incredibly busy. Let's see.... what has happened since the last post. Oh yeah, Sarah came home. Sarah arrived home from Malawi on the first day of my spring break. This came as great convenience in the fact that we had some down time to catch up with each other. The weather was wonderful. It had been warm for two weeks and the crocus bulbs that I had planted in October had flowered just in time for Sarah to be greeted home by a floral valentine. We spent the first three days of the week in the Hocking Hills for a mini-vacation. I intended to take pictures of the spring flowers in that beautiful region of the state, but Sarah and I never left our little cabin in the woods. We spent the whole time talking, and telling stories, and filling each other in on the last two months of our lives. I am truly lucky to have a wife who is my best friend. The last half of the week we went up to Michigan to see some family. Sarah's brother, Nathan, is getting married soon and wedding showers have began for his fiance, Heather. So while Sarah attended a shower the Hull boys and I went to do guy stuff... a war movie. 200 is a cinematic masterpiece, although it is a bit historically inaccurate. It's as if some one read his history book at the same time as Lord of the Rings and tried to recall the Spartans' story a year later. After having our sense of history offended we went up to the farm to cool off. That is some beautiful land up there this time of year. The wildlife is all starting to get active after winter's sleep. If anyone reading this is within a short drive of Big Rapids, I know Bo would love company, and its really worth the trip. On our way home from the farm we stopped at Greg and Jill's for a wonderful dinner with family. Not only did we get to see Greg's family, who obviously didn't wait for spring to do their growing, but the Grevengoeds were there as well. It was great to catch up with all of them. Then we came home and had our sights on spring gardening the next weekend. Sarah and I drempt of digging in the dirt and planting flowers and vegetables and then Ohio did what it does best... depress you. We got our biggest snow storm of the season. On Easter morning the city of Cleveland shut down. We spent Easter morning with our friends and neighbors digging ourselves our. Although this sounds sad it really isn't. We all agreed that the gregarious time and love of friends really showed that the God of Love is truly alive. Between working hard to dig out and playing hard with friends Sarah and I stopped to give thanks for the storm (and the snowthrower dad gave us.) So life plods on and we have put our heads down to wait our the last hurrah of winter. The snow is just about gone now but the cold has not quite given up yet. Winter is still around, but there is promise of spring. Yesterday I saw our local stray cat (OSKy) waddle through our backyard with an obvious promise of spring time kittens. Anyone want a calico?
