Charleston


Tired. Happy. Arrived in Charleston. Never been. Reflecting on five years. This September 4th makes it.

Tired. Happy. Hopeful. Tired.

Last week was family time. This week vacation + a great friend’s wedding – officiating + just reading scripture = still vacation.

Gran and Gran-Gramps holding the fort down @ 90th and Columbus with our three monkeys. Asleep before we left them (see picture). Susan hopes that Lillie B’s and Big E will have teeth but wont be crawling when we return though she’s afraid they’ll be crawlin with no teeth. We’ll see. (Susan wants it to be known that Jack and I are the only one’s that refer to Elliott as “Big E”).

Last week NYC to ATL to NYC via Wedding in Hamptons to PCB to NYC.

5 years. Sort of feels like 10. Sort of feels like 2. Mostly feels like 5.

5 = # of years married
4 = # of states lived in NJ, KY, TN, NY
3 = # of kids thus far: Jack, Elliott, Lillie

So grateful. To Him. To them. To you. So many.

Saved. Sent. And being Spent for one Great Name’s sake…

Jesus.

More of Him and less of us.
