Wow, in case you’re wondering, we’re still around. We haven’t disappeared, or been abducted by aliens, or abandoned our blog..Honestly, I’ve just been waiting for Will to pull his weight around here. Clearly, that’s not happening, so I figured I better step in.

I wish I could say we’ve been SO busy that we just couldn’t find the time to write, y’know, like….I was so busy with my new full time job, that fits perfectly into my schedule, filling up all my free time and utilizing my skills…….but I can’t, ’cause that wouldn’t be true….or that Will and I decided to forget about paying off our debts, and we picked up and went…somewhere for a second honeymoon!……most of that will be true next year, except for the honeymoon part, and the forgoing debt payment part…..yeah…

But truthfully? We’re (Will is) just neglectful.

On to happier things. We inherited a garden at our apartment, about 10ft. long and 5 feet wide. One of the tenants was tending a garden, owned by the nursing home, and he recently moved out, so we adopted it. This was very exciting for us, and not long after did we go buy some veggies! Green peppers, hot peppers, head lettuce, tomatoes, beans, peas, cucumbers, and morning glories. In fact, we probably got a little TOO excited, and we might be lucky to fit HALF of them in our plot, but here’s hopin’! It’ll be good to eat from our own garden and not have to buy vegetables for….a little while. After initially hoeing the garden and doing the edging, I lovingly placed rocks along the edge, in a decorative manner. It didn’t take long for those rocks to disappear! We think the grass cutter man stole them (or rather, was annoyed that they were in his way and threw them out in a huff). Oh well. We then bought a cute white fence to go around it instead. Hopefully that won’t disappear.

We finally got our MCC forms in, which makes our 3-year MCC term seem more of a reality. I only had to bribe Will with a lifetime of unlimited philly cheese steaks to get his finished. We will keep you posted on that process.

Baseball season is back, and Will has been back in the game! He did an awesome head-first dive into home plate, and has been complaining of a cracked rib ever since. I’m well into my organ playing at the Lutheran church in town, and that’s been going well. I’m just starting to master the foot pedals, but before I do that, I need to master keeping up with the congregation! That’s key, cause if I don’t manage that staff, I could get into real treble (How’s that, Mark?)

Okay, I’ve broken into the puns. I’d better go now.
