Where has the time gone?! And why hasn't there been any more posts?!

I cannot believe my last post was in February!
Well, as one can imagine, a lot has happened since...one of them being the death of my PC (again!) which made it hard for me to write or upload pictures. I could have used the hubs' Mac, but he uses it for work so that was a no-no. I could have used the iPad we got as a gift from our church family, but I am still learning how to use it (ha!).

Anyways, here are some major things that have happened since February:
1) End of March - Came back to the U.S. for our HMA (Home Mission Assignment) "kicking and screaming" (more on that in a future post perhaps). We are based in Irvine, California where my side of the family lives. Jim's side is in L.A. and we visit them as much as we can.
2) April - Spent most of it trying to re-settle into life in America, experiencing some "reverse-culture-shock", and getting Eleanor acquaitend with family and relatives.
3) May - Visiting and spending time with friends.
4) June - Jim's trip out of state, mainly to the GA in VA and a visit to MTW's office to participate as a speaker for their Vision Retreat.
5) July - I spent most of June and July planning for Eleanor's first birthday dinner. It was tough to try to do that on a budget and narrowing down our guest list to only a few families (we wished we could have invited ALL our friends,), but all in all, we were happy with the night and were so blessed by the friends and family who were there to worship and thank God for His blessing over Eleanor's frost year of life.

Now that it's August, we feel like it's crunch time to get our support in shape to be able to return to Australia in October. We need a lot of prayers for guidance from the Lord in that regard.

Well, that's the short version of whats been going on in our "jungle". Thanks for dropping by. Until my next post! :)
