For one reason or another, M and I have been laying low. I haven't been feeling the greatest and it's been so muggy outside that the indoors has been preferable.
Last weekend RJK and I had the awesome opportunity to go to the Kennedy Center to see Phantom of the Opera! It was incredible, and we had such a great time with our "girl's night out". The show was definitely worth the $$ we payed, and the seats were fantastic.
For those of you who have been dying to know - yes, my cherry tomato plant is doing marvelously... I plucked 12 bright red fruits from the thick vines yesterday and we ate them on steak kabobs. Mmm.
I promise to post something more interesting later.

"You Have Been Called"
As I've continued to lift up Amy, Brandon and Gary, and ask the typcal "why" questions, it's been such a joy to discover more about the Lord.
Today I read an article by Bush Press Secretary, Tony Snow that was so encouraging. As we each reflect on how precious and temporary life is based on our own struggles, may we never forget the hope that we have. If you have a second, be sure to read the article.

Top Billboard Hits
I recently stumbled across this interesting site in my internet browsing. It was rather fun to click around and discover the #1 song for a certain day in history.
Let's see, in other news, M's brother just wrapped up a two-week stay with us. He arrived on July 3rd, only a few hours before my parents pulled into the driveway for the 4th with their new puppy, Buddy.
No sooner had they walked through the front door than we all scurried to the basement for an hour to wait out a tornado warning. Due to the rain we didn't end up eating until late and weren't able to see any fireworks... but hey, I guess it was still a memorable 4th.
We finally got to see our 4th of July fireworks on the 7th, as we trekked up to Antietem Battlefield for the the Independence Day celebration with M. Joughon. Then on Sunday we all floated lazily down the Shennendoah River in canoes... stopping to rescue the dog out of the water from time to time.
The following weekend we went and saw Bodies... the Exhibition (of which you can read about our experience here). I would thoroughly encourage people to go - it's worth the time. Unfortunately, my poor husband, who already wasn't feeling too well that day, passed out about halfway through the exhibit on the circulatory system. :-) One water bottle later... he was feeling much better and finished the remaining exhibits like a pro. (Read: no, he was not squeemish... he was dehydrated).
Then Saturday it was off to Busch Gardens with the W00SH.
All in all, it's been a pretty eventful couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to a slower pace for the next few days, and finally, some alone time with my hubby. :-)

Something for a Thursday... or a Friday...
My brother-in-law sent this to me. It's beyond awesome and perfect for the end of the week.
Also, for all you Virginia residents, have you signed the Virginia fines petition? I know you'll do the right thing. :-)
