Our summer has turned out to be a bit busier than I expected, hence the absence of blog posts in the last month. We've been consumed with work, school, softball, vacation, and preparing for our move this weekend. It will be a lot of work, but this time we've got friends to help us - which will be very different from two years ago when we moved to College Station, didn't know anyone and had to unload the moving van all by ourselves! Our new place is a bit smaller and older than the place we're in now. But it's cheaper, and cheaper is what we wanted. We're happy about the fact that we'll be closer to the university, my work, and the church we go to. Plus we have friends who live in the same complex.
Our softball team is doing well. We're playing on a co-ed team in a city summer league and as of last night, our record is 4-2. The biggest surprise of the season has been the discovery that Jason is a wicked awesome pitcher (and batter - he had two inside-the-park home runs last night. TWO!).
The vacation we took this year was to South Dakota, where we attended a wedding of some friends from college and then stayed a couple extra days in a cabin with Jason's family and did some hiking, biking, kayaking, and frisbee golf. I've currently got a peeling sunburn to remind me of all the fun we had :).
My highlight of the day was discovering what the Blizzard of the Month is at Dairy Queen! We'll probably be going at least twice a week.

Jason and Mel, of course we always love reading your blog.... kevin is very grateful for the tip about the DQ blizzard of the month. I in the meantime will be reworking the budget as DQ will now be consuming some of our paychecks :)
post pictures of the new place!
Mel,
I am still feeling bad about Monday. That was just way overboard with busyness. Will you ever want to vacation with us again? :)
