I guess the more things change, the more things stay the same. It was seeming like Michelle and I were gaining a bit of stability recently in terms of her job situation and some of my church planting efforts. Hmmmm. I guess things aren't always what they seem. Now we've got options ranging from me getting a "real" job and Michelle going back to school for an MBA to moving to the East Coast (think either grits or chowder) for a few years.
I've been working on a landscaping project quite a bit lately. We moved into a brand new home well over three years ago, and have focused our home improvement efforts on the inside - paint, window coverings, etc. That has left the outside almost completely untouched. But now we have a little entry area that has kick butt irrigation, a beautiful fountain, a nice thick layer of cow manure (courtesy of a local dairy about a mile down the road), and I think we're up to nine plants in it. More to come - like doing drainage and irrigation, and then grass and more planting beds for our side yard, which is a mere three thousand square feet or so. Have I mentioned that in my neck of the woods it gets over 90 degrees (F) pretty regularly? Note to self: increase daily water intake.
