Hey

Hey gang. Sorry so long since the last post. I'll catch you all up on our last month or so. Some of you will have shared some or many of these things with us while the New Mexico folks won't have been so lucky. We've been busy around the house as we have officially moved into our new home on Hawthorne Way. Two moves in two months. Dang. Our community group was especially helpful to us. We were able to help the Burts as they moved into their new home on Saturday and thus giving us a chance to pay it forward (God's blessing that is). That makes three moves for the community group this summer and we are the most buffed out group that you'll meet. Also in the last several weeks we spent time in Chicago at a wedding and enjoying the sights and flavors (Gino's East baby!) It was especially good to see my sister and Matt as well as many cousins, aunts, and uncles. I got my hands on a good Cuban cigar but never got to smoke it. We got hooked on Cornhole while we were there, also sometimes called Baggo or Bags or Indiana Horseshoes. I was off this last week and made myself a nice set of boards (pic enclosed)so we could play here. I hear this game goes on at Razorback tailgating parties though is not as popular as it is in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky. We spent a lot of time settling into the house this week, painted a dining room and a bedroom, had the nephews over for some slip and sliding action, and took a nice little hike up to Lost Valley with the Davises. I built a workbench in the garage and did some mowing. I fished one day at Sugar Creek in Bellavista, catching several smallmouth and several other bass of which type I'm a bit unsure--maybe Rock Bass. The football season is fast approaching with the Hogs season opener against USC coming up on Sept 2. Community group guys are also to have our fantasy football draft party this Tuesday night and poker on Fri night. I get to play in a golf tournament this Friday with my good friends. I've been watching the PGA Championship so that I'll be good come Friday and not let the guys down. Lots to be excited about. Carrie and I are also excited to be co-leading a community group with the Millers this fall. Well, I'll enclose a few pics for everybody to enjoy and maybe I'll do a better job keeping you posted in the weeks to come.
