Have I been a slacker?

I really haven't had much to blog about lately.  I guess I just haven't taken as many pictures? 

Next month we celebrate living 3 years in Connecticut; 3 years of renting, washing dishes by hand, seeing New England sights, getting to know new/interesting people, humidity, MOSQUITOES, trees, understanding roads and crossroads, the shore, commuting 15 min. to church, time zone, ticks, pet peeves, family activities, strengthening testimonies, feeding the missionaries, living on a budget, practicing patience, finding humility, and working together. 

I am grateful for what three years has taught me.  I know this is just the beginning of our journey, wherever it may lead.   I am very fortunate to have made some good friends who have taken us under their wing and provided support in ways that our families cannot right now.  It is important to give one another strength because it can be very lonely out here!

For the past 6 months I have been feeling the urgency for change.  I don't know what that means exactly, but I am craving a change of pace. Mostly I just feel crammed in this tiny two bedroom townhouse with no where to escape from screaming children. 

Most days I just wish I didn't have to make grown-up decisions. 

Ya......so.....I am a slacker on the blog this month, but at least nothing has really changed since the last post.

That's pretty close if you ask me.
