"Just trying to bend the truth..." :-)

Hey everyone. It's really been a while since I've done anything on this blog, something that I'm sure the 6 or 7 people who visit here already know! But it's mostly for good reasons, and I'll hopefully be posting more as time goes on, if the Lord thinks it's a good idea.

Skipping past Home Censure, reason #1 is... I had tonsillitis. Pretty badly too. The whole affair lasted more than a week... you would have thought I'd have had time to post stuff, just laying there in bed for that long. I guess not being able to swallow made me forget about it. :-)

Reason #2... Been doing a whole lot of this (see below)



That is, been doing lots and lots of work. Ignore the fact that I'm actually just pretending to work in these pics... it was for real this time. :) We had to build a loft (look it up, they're so hot right now) in time for our resident pregnant mother (Amanda) to give birth, and it left us about 3 days from start to finish to get that whole thing up. That meant working till considerably late hours of the night, such as 1:00, 3:00, and finally 5:00 A.M on the last day. It was intense, and I'm so glad I was able to take part. Gabriel and I discovered when you stay up working till 4:00 A.M you start to say really profound and unexpected words, ones you didn't even think were in your vocabulary, and lose feeling in the tips of your fingers.
Needless to say, we had a great time. Here's some one-word praises from this time:

Thank you Lord for...

-coffee
-as
-thick
-as
-maple syrup

Speaking of coffee... since Daylight Savings robbed me of an hour of sleep I've had a really hard time keeping my eyes open at devotions... usually I can manage staying awake for at least half. I hope everyone else sleeps better than I do.. :)
