The Last Five Weeks

In the five weeks since my last post, McKenzie and I spent time in four different states. Josh's count is much higher due to road trips. A week here, a few days there has been our routine for the last month. We stay in an Extended Stay when Josh is in Bowie and then go spend time with friends in Virginia when he is gone. McKenzie and I need the respite from hotel living. It has been a bit crazy, but not unbearable. God may allow the road to be rocky, but He never allows it to be impassable. We are so thankful for the His amazing provision and know that He is working out his good purposes in and through us.

Josh and I have been reading some great books lately. Josh is the analytical one and has been devouring books such as The Upside of Irrationality, Buy-ology, & Words that Work. I on the other hand stick mainly to fiction and have enjoyed reading Can You Forgive Her? by Trollope & The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Shaffer and Barrows, which I just finished and enjoyed immensely. I am now on the lookout for a new novel, though I have plenty of non-fiction I am trying to complete in the meantime.

McKenzie joined her first library reading club at the Prince George's County Library in Bowie. So far she has earned 2 of the 5 prizes, her favorite being the coupon for ice cream at Chick-fil-A. She loves going on the carousel at the games, playing with any and all children, and watching Winnie the Pooh, which she knows almost by heart. She is excited about the upcoming arrival of Baby Harper and is counting down the days until she is in Arizona and can have a pillow fight with her uncles.
