Admittedly slack...

Those are the most befitting two words to describe our commitment to blogging (and many other things) as of late. We would apologize, except it's given us more time with friends, family, and most especially one another. We've had the privilege of hosting several friends over the past few weekends. It's been most enjoyable catching up with everyone.

There's really not that much new to report. Right now we're enjoying the many blessings we have in our lives (most of whom come in the form of a wonderfully supportive network of friends), and trying to remember that despite national and local circumstances God has blessed us richly.

As many of you know, we work two COMPLETELY opposite schedules. Phillip works 3 PM to 1 AM and I work from 8:30 AM to 5 PM. Therefore, during the week we never see and hardly speak to one another outside of the daily notes on the counter tops. Phillip was fortunate enough to attend the Clemson game this past weekend (his first game in Death Valley). Sadly, they lost but he thoroughly enjoyed his time. I was given a gorgeous Saturday to myself. I decided to visit my mom at one of my parents' florists in downtown Monroe. It's been such a long time since I've actually taken the time to appreciate the small town from which I came. Mom and I shopped in most of the Main Street boutiques and then had a small lunch at this quaint coffeehouse called Alice Jules (if you're around, you should go). Phillip and I took the opportunity to enjoy a Saturday night out. We had a fantastic dinner at City Tavern (one of our favorite, local restaurants) and saw a late showing of Fireproof at the cinema.

For those of you that are married, we'd love to challenge you to see this movie. God's work in a person's heart can completely alter their entire life. This movie depicts just that. It's especially geared towards marriages, and its message is priceless. Here's the link for the movie and many other resources. Please check it out!

Hope you are all well and enjoying this wonderful fall weather!
