Summer, Summer, Summers Time

You know you’ve got the old skool Will Smith song in your head now. “Here it is, a groove, slightly transformed. Just a bit of a break from the norm. Just a little sumthin’ to break the monotony of all that hardcore jam that has gotten to be a little bit out of control. It’s cool to dance, but what about a groove that soothes and moves romance...” You know the rest...leave it for us in a comment. This’ll be awesome. Go until you can’t remember, then somebody else can pick up where you left off. AND NO CHEATING!!! I did that from memory (and it’s probably a little wrong, but oh well).

Anyways, my REAL reason for posting is to share the awesome time that we had with our friends Curtis and Crystal Summers. We met this awesome couple in Michigan [Erik breathes a sigh and sheds a tear for his home state] after we moved back from Harding. They attended Grace Bible Church in Ann Arbor and were the first couple that befriended us when we visited there. And the rest...is history.

They now live in Texas. The only other state where a persons love of home rivals that of our fellow Michiganders. While here, we caught up on everything that’s happened since the last time we hung out...which was THREE years ago. We’ve kept in touch via phone, but it’s never the same as getting to be in someone’s presence. We went on a short hike through the Knoxville Arboretum, then went to see My Fair Lady at the Historic Tennessee Theatre. It was a wonderful weekend. Now, we just need to plan some time in Texas.

Chud, Shmon, and Shmal

I was blessed to be able to spend a whole weekend with Shawna and Ali in Nashville over the last few days! I cannot begin to explain how precious this time was to me. We had so much fun laughing until our pits started sweating, staying up way too late, eating entirely too much cheesecake, and playing with Shawna’s son Gaines. We took him to the Nashville Zoo (which is actually a pretty cool zoo) and went swimming. It was a fabulous time with my girls!
