The Year That Was
Or should I say the year that wasn’t…recorded on this blog. The one-year anniversary of my last post seems like as good a time as any to add to the random postings on this site.
So what has happened in the last year? Let’s see…seems like it was a year on the go. In March it was international missions–all the way to Ocala for a week of Spring Break, where a bunch of us organized, sorted, and loaded a huge semi-trailer container of medical supplies headed to Honduras on a boat. April’s highlight was getting frequent flyer tickets at the last minute so the whole family could go to Turkey for a month, which we did from mid-May to mid-June. I’m kind of sketchy on what happened in July. Blame it on jet lag. August was a week at Ridgecrest, always a good time. Late September-early October was a trip to Boston and New England–an unforgettable fall trip after a long hot summer. In late October there was a trip to Nashville that will mostly be remembered for the fun we had watching a certain college football game that took place just 150 miles north of Orlando. November and December brought trips home to Georgia for the holidays.
It didn’t seem like so much at the time, but looking back, that’s quite a bit of time away from home–especially when you throw in a few trips that I’ve left out. This year, things will be different. The pace will be slower.
Probably not.
ps. Tonight Amy and I went to see UCF play bball in the new Arena, thanks to tickets from a friend and former student who now works in the athletic department. The Knights made 15(!) 3-pointers and won 110-75 over East Carolina, who played a close game against UCF earlier in the season. It was the most points in a game by UCF in almost 20 years. Amy and I are taking most of the credit, and expect the basketball program to recognize our contribution soon.
