Good Week

This past Saturday night, Kenyon and I headed down to Clinton IL for Carson and Angie Cheatham's wedding. We had such a great time. For those of you who don't know Carson and Angie, they are a couple from the church in Manchester who we got to know while we were on my internship. Fortunately, Carson is actually from Clinton, so their wedding was in the midwest. Friends from NH came to the wedding, so not only did we get to enjoy their company, but we got to host friends from the church too. We had missed everyone so much, so it was GREAT to see them again!



Kilo (somehow he snuck into the wedding pictures...) is settling into life as a Knight. We're likin' him more and more each day, and he's getting used to us. It's fun.

We went to Waukegan / Kenosha last weekend for some time with friends up there and a benefit. Super fun weekend. We really enjoyed it!

Kenyon and I are both are enjoying diggin' into good books this summer. Kenyon has discovered military fiction and the Bourne books, while I have identified a keen interest in the Maccabean revolution as well as classic fiction. After having forgotten about public libraries for a couple of years, we have been reintroduced to the pubic library and are using it for all it's worth. Lovin' it. I caught myself saying to Kenyon the other night, "put down that book and come watch TV with me!" WHOA. What a role reversal. Scary.

The Cutest Kitten Ever

Meet: Kilo.

And you say, "kilo?" and I remind you that Kilo is K in the military alphabet...

I wonder who named our cat...

SO. We have a kitten. I know in many people's lives this is a very small thing, but for me, this is huge. I've been wanting a kitten pretty much as long as I can remember. So, to have one makes me so happy. And don't let Kenyon fool you, he's enjoying it too.

Kilo's loving and kind, playful and curious. Notice that brilliant wasn't listed, but he makes up for it in love-able-ness and general instinct-fullness.

We took a short video of him the other night from Kenyon's MacBook for the fun of sharing his cuteness with you all. The video's kinda funny because it's from the laptop, not from a camera, but you can still enjoy his cuteness this way.



We are working hard still and things are going well. Really, we aren't doing too many exciting things, just working hard every (and sometimes all, in Kenyon's case) day. We are enjoying the hard work though. We have realized that this is the time in our lives to hunker down and work hard, so that knowledge is making this a little easier than it might have been.

Thanks for checking in on us and caring about where we're at. We really would love to hear from you. Right now, email is truly the easiest way to track us down. We have our emails posted on our website under "contact" and would love to hear from you.
