Where did everybody go?

I'm guessing this quiet lull means that we are either a boring family who never does anything postable or a technologically challenged family who doesn't know how to post on a blog. Or, perhaps, I should add a third option - we are a lazy family who doesn't like to work!

So I am overcoming this genetic heritage and posting something. Let's see, what news can I share?

Life is great down here in the "sun city" of El Paso. So far I've had not a single cockroach in my house, for which I am truly thankful. The flowers have bloomed, the temperatures are in the high 70s/low 80s, and this week a new church building is going up in Juarez, so we are all very excited.

I think someone ought to post a report of Kim's surgery, but not me, cause I don't know enough about it.

Okay, well, this is pretty boring, but I guess that's because I don't know much. If anyone knows a good way to get iced tea out of shirts, I would appreciate the help.

Can I be next?

My birthday

Hello, everyone! I'm posting a picture of what happened to my earlobes and the earrings Todd got for them on my birthday yesterday. A guy and his little girl were watching them pierce my ears, and he told me that I couldn't flinch because his daughter was going next and he didn't want her to back out. I don't see why they couldn't have gone into another store for a minute, but Todd says I didn't even wince. Good for me! It didn't really hurt that bad after all. Todd also took me to Applebee's, which was really nice of him, since that is one of the hardest places for him to find something he can eat. Apparently, they won't guarantee anything to be gluten-free. It's my favorite place to go, though, so he was a sport. The manager only came over to our table three times after checking ingredients in the kitchen. :-)

Wedding Bells

Here's a picture of Eleanor and I. The wedding is the 31st of August.
