for the last couple of days i've felt as though one of my vertebrae is out of place. because of the pain in my back, i didn't sleep well last night. now it's 8.44 and i feel like going to sleep. yet, the olympic trials are on tv and i can't seem to pull myself away. there's something amazing about watching someone break a world record. good thing they will finish in the next 15 minutes.

i'm not a pigeon fan.

troy has worked a ton of hours in the last 2 days. he's somewhere down in florida tonight and should be back in georgia tomorrow night. he's traveled to miami this morning, and tomorrow he'll be in jacksonville. that boy gets around. i'm looking forward to spending some time with him this weekend.

not sure if i'm going to trivia tomorrow night or not. might try out a new location - freehome.

troy and i really need to find a church home. we both are looking for a church which offers small groups, contemporary worship style and a casual environment. troy really wants to get involved in serving in some ministry, and i love leading women's bible studies. oh, and we are looking for foreign missions involvement, too. so we'll see where we end up.

it's now six to nine.

my dad is in cedar rapids for a few days - helping people who have suffered from the floods. he'll be great at working to clean up the mess left behind from all that water. and my dad always has a good story to tell.

my folks got their tickets to come for a visit during labor day. looking forward to that.
