Just Hanging Out

Monday
August 31, 2009

We slept in until 8:30 this morning. After we woke up and had our coffee we both decided that we would just hang out for the day here at the campground. I scanned the picture of Thomas in his dress blues so I could add it to our blog along with all the other pictures we took of him. After that I wrote the blog. We then just kind of laid around all afternoon. We did create a business card so we would have something to give people when they ask for our blog address instead of trying to tell them what it is. We’ll take the file to Kinko’s and have them printed once we’re back in Louisiana.

Around five o’clock we decided to go for a bike ride. We did get about thirty minutes of bike riding in until the clouds started rolling in along with a lot lighting and thunder. We turned the TV on and realized we were under a severe thunderstorm warning for the next hour. We had taken out a couple of chicken breasts from the freezer to grill for dinner. With the rain and lighting I was unsure whether or not I should grill them but finally decided that I would take my chances. One thing we learned tonight is that neither one of us like sitting in our RV amongst a lot of trees in the middle of a thunderstorm. The only good part to this storm was that there was no wind just a lot of close lighting. We lost power a couple of times but otherwise it wasn’t too bad of a storm. We finally sat down to a dinner of grilled chicken with penne pasta covered with a pesto sauce. Gina cleaned up the kitchen while I read for the night. She then decided she would get on facebook and look around and then she got hooked. Around midnight I went to bed while she was still playing around with facebook leaving comments. She said that she finally went to bed around 2:30 in the morning. Not a real exciting day but we just needed a do nothing day to let our adrenaline rush calm down after seeing our son for the first time in twelve weeks and as a United States Marine.

Until tomorrow, Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
