Getting Outdoors

There is something about getting out doors and in to the mountains that invigorates and refreshes the mind and spirit. Not the body so much...sleeping on a hard surface with only a half inch of padding while being eaten alive by mosquitoes isn't very conducive to rest of the body. But, it's always worth it to get out there and get closer to God and nature. So, thanks to all the great people who made the H-4 Summer Rendezvous a great success.

On a side note, my birthday just passed, so Happy Birthday to me!

On a related note, happy birthday to my newest nephew. I'm glad to say that both mother and baby, father and brother are doing well and are healthy. I'm excited for this newest addition to the family and can't wait to hear his name. My sisters' blogs have more details so check them out.

Happy be-lated birthday big brother! I am sorry I didn't call you sooner - I didn't intentionally flake out on you, so just know that I'm sorry. Love you!!

so then since you love the outdoors, what are the chances you would be able to come camping in the next couple of weeks - the kids at working are thinking about going somewhere end of september - you in?
