Summer & Beyond - a Recap
Since we haven't posted updates in so long, prior to our recent trip, we thought it'd be good to give a brief recap of less than recent events.
In February, we moved from our on-campus apartment to the first floor of a house near our church. It's a cute place, bigger than we had, but much older and with a very different floor-plan. We have less rooms, but all the rooms are bigger. A big plus was the yard, in which our puppy Bode can run and play! And that's actually the only part that I have a picture of at this moment:
You know that Juan has been doing wedding photography, and the business has been going well! But did you know he also does occasional photography for events at Southern? Here's the President, Al Mohler:
In May we were privileged to do a wedding for our friend Bry's brother. Why we don't have a picture of some of our closest friends Matt & Bry, I don't know. I guess when we're together we just have such a great time we forget all about pictures. But it was a joy to do that wedding, and as a bonus, it was in Kirksville, Missouri! The Macleans had no idea that we would actually love a little farm town like Kirksville, but it felt like a great vacation away from busy-ness, like it was the Shire or something. And Bry's family is such a blessing to be with. We felt right at home. On our way back from Missouri we stopped in St Louis to see the arch, just to say we did. It was quite impressive! We did not go up in it.
Just after we got back, we picked up our new addition - Bode Thedog Maclean! You've seen the pictures, here's one more puppy one just because...
For some months now, we have been reading the Harry Potter series. We were never interested until so many friends kept talking about how great it is. We're just about to start book 6 - so don't snitch on the ending! That would be very rude. But some people are way too into the whole thing, like whatever stranger it was whose car we spotted at an ice cream shop:
Well, it is pretty funny...
Debbie's dear friend Hannah from Lynchburg came to visit in June! It was SO nice to see her and tour around Louisville stuff. I'm sure we took pictures, but I can't seem to find them at the moment. Hannah, have any pictures? On this long weekend we got to go to an art museum and just run around and catch up on life. Thanks for coming, Hannah! Everything is a party when you're here.
Debbie's parents came in for a long weekend just before Juan's birthday in July. We checked out Churchill Downs, and they took us to see the Lion King!
It just took a bit of time to get used to people dressed up as animals, but then it was REALLY good! I think even Dad enjoyed it. Thanks so much for such a great time!
And then it was Juan's birthday! 27 years old - officially "late 20's". We just had a small gathering at our place. Debbie printed out head-shots of Juan and put paper print-out party hats on them, and taped them up all over the house. Bry made this great cake:
Also this summer we went to a Nickel Creek concert.
with our friends Jack & Heather
Woo hoo! Great times
Our friends Tom & Nikki who have been home in Colorado all summer are back! Welcome back, we missed you cats!
And that brings us back to our early August adventure!
