Summer weather remains

It's quite close to being fall here, as the temperatures usually change from 90s to 80s around the end of October. We're still getting lots of breathtaking cloud formations and summer rain. Here are two for your enjoyment:

I imagined standing at the edge of the rain, half soaked, half dry. That would be cool.


And out the other side of the car was this! At the same time!


One thing I really love about Florida is the sky. The clouds are always beautiful and ever-changing. Really fun.

In other news, the cricket was silent last night. There was much rejoicing when we laid our heads down. But this morning we woke up and learned that he has moved locations, and now is living over our bedroom it seems. We're learning to make peace with this new noisy roommate.

It's Friday, or Fried-Day as Mom says, and we're due for a weekend. This week has been rather sleepless for one reason or another, and we're just tired from lots of working. Brad has his paper to work on all weekend, and I have tutor-coordinating work to do. But despite the busy-ness, the long hours, the house-uncertainty, the unknown, we are doing well and are feeling positive in spirit. While Florida has been a rough time for us, we are feeling like we're seeing a few reasons for this time-- Brad's program and the Theophostic ministry. Both have been tremendously inspiring and life-giving lately, and we are certain they are blessings from God.

Have a happy weekend!
