Ah. A place of rest

 WELL, I guess I'll post again.  Someone's gotta keep this blog going! :P

I'm out in Indianola right now (a lovely little hippi beach town where Jeremy's parents and some siblings live).  We're staying with Jeremy's parents for a few days, and helping out with their VBS.  Shea is taking a nap right now (none of us slept too well last night), so I am sitting downstairs using the computer while Jeremy is helping with the kids.  I forget how much I absolutely love it here.  Its where Jeremy and I lived while we were engaged and went to bible school.  We used to go down to the beach nearly every day (a near 2 minute walk), either to swim, or just walk along the sand.  It is so much fun for Shea - everyone is so friendly and so many places for him to explore and play safely.  I love it.  And he loves being with all the kids at VBS!  Scared to death of the puppets, though.  Poor kid.  He wants to go and sing and dance so bad, but he's not sure when the puppets will come, so he doesn't really enjoy it today.  We've never really been in a church with lots of kids, and he is so social, its a brand new experience for him that he LOVES.

Anyway, I'm glad he's getting some rest.  I'm thinking of going and taking a nap too.

Indianola dock - isn't it beautiful out here?


Last night, we spent the evening with Jeremy's brother's family.  I love all of my sisters-in-law, but Tawny has always been especially sweet toward me.  We went down to the beach with her and all the kids (she has three), and they played and played in the sand and the water while we talked.  I left my flip-flops near the tide though, and forgot it was coming in...about an hour and some minutes later when we got ready to leave, I realized that my sandals had floated off to sea!  Actually, I don't even know if they floated.  I couldn't find them anywhere.  haha.  I felt so silly walking home barefoot.  Well, I didn't mind that much, and the sandals only cost a few dollars, but they were one of my favorite pairs.

At least I brought with some sneakers.

Not sure when we're coming home, we're enjoying it too much here, and its not like there is much going on in Kent.  No jobs still, and we can always apply for more from here.

Hope you are all having a nice week!!
