Happy 4th of July!

The lack of posts over the last few days reflects just how busy those days have been. The three college students who have been working in a tsunami-affected area got in on Saturday...and things have just been whirling along since then. Saturday evening we took the college students, Wendy, Jarod, and Cody, to the night market; Sunday we had church, and then our family had an engagement party to go to and to sing at. Then Lindsay and I went with Wendy, Jarod, and Cody to the mall to eat, shop a little, and see a movie. We got home late, I slept late, and then I've been up helping to cook since 1:30 for the July 4th party we had this evening. Another American family who live here joined us--and that made it interesting with four children all under the age of 7 running around! They are adorable kids. The college students came over a little later, and then we all made ice cream together. All of them left around 10:00...so it's been a long day! I've been on my feet almost all day, so my sore foot has been acting up again. Let's just say a bed will feel wonderful tonight!

Anyways, just wanted to put up a brief update. Today will be busy as well, but I'll see if I have time to write again. I hope all of you have a blessed day!
