I can't think of a name

Hello!  I am going to post really fast because we are leaving in ten minutes for Discipleship!

We have been doing well.  Last Saturday, we took the youth group to Six Flags and the Toby Mac concert they had there.  It was really hot but we had a great time and rode a lot of rides!  We went to Lion's Choice for lunch, then the concert, then Taco Bell for a LATE (like 10:00 late) dinner. 

One thing really struck me at the concert... the guy sitting next to Steven was always facing his wife because he was signing all of the lyrics and words that Toby Mac was singing, to her.  It was so sweet.  I couldn't help wondering what their story was, whether she was deaf for as long as they knew each other, or whether something happened during their relationship and he learned to sign for her.  It was just so special and a picture of true, selfless love... giving up his enjoyment of the concert so that his wife wouldn't miss out.

We had a good Sunday, didn't do anything out of the ordinary for our Sunday's though!  Church, nap, church, then hanging out with the teens.  Barkley did really good with the teens over, but one of them (Doug) randomly put a flower in his ear and Barkley did NOT like that.  He kept barking at him until he took it out... don't know if he didn't recognize him, or if he just wanted Doug to man up and take the flower out of his hair!  ha!

Speaking of Barkley, we have had a heat wave here and poor guy is bored silly inside!  I am hoping it cools off soon so we can take him on walks again during the day and let him play in the backyard.

Yesterday, we ran several errands... went to lunch at It's A Better Burger, made some exchanges at Beauty Brands, bought some things at Bed Bath and Beyond, and went to the hardware store to finally buy a pantry!  I am so excited!  I have spent all day yesterday and today Staining it and finishing it, and hopefully when we are back from Discipleship it will be dry enough to take upstairs.  Steven was also nice enough to switch the hinges from the left side of the pantry to the right side for me.  Finally we will have a central location to put our food!  ha!

That's all from me!
