brief hello...

We're house/dog sitting for two families this weekend. We are happy to finally have a weekend to enjoy staying put in Wilmore without traveling, and even though we're not technically at the apartment, we're having fun hopping between houses and playing with the animals. It's relaxing to put everything aside and play fetch with the dogs every now and then. We're getting together with some friends tonight, which is nice since we've been gone a lot and not had a whole lot of time to hang out.

The town is filling up with students at Asbury College and the Seminary. Most, if not all, of the college kids are back, which totally changes the feel of Wilmore. It's great to have the streets crowded again and people moving about. We loved the quiet summer, but we are ready for the fall semester to begin. Classes start for us at the Seminary on September 2nd.

One last note for fun...earlier this week the staff at work were served watermelon one afternoon as a fun summer treat. Though I opted out of the watermelon, I couldn't resist going when I heard about the Nutria that was partaking in the celebration. As far as we can tell this animal was not a pet and randomly stumbled upon the watermelon social for his own little enjoyment. Though I didn't get any pictures of the little guy eating away at our watermelon, here is a picture in case you have no clue what I am talking about (I know I had never heard of it before)!
