Emergency room excitement!

So this was an interesting afternoon. Sherah and I were supposed to meet Joe after church for lunch, but instead, he called and told us that he fell into a bush and got poked in the face. Nothing serious, but Sara thought he should definitely get checked out, so down to the ER he went. We took pity on him and brought him some lunch.

Again, this wasn't a serious injury, and it kind of sucks for Joe, but for us... oh, this was just so cool!! We got to watch the doctor pull a big chunk of branch out of the side of his face, and (this is the best part) we got to watch him get sewed up! Awesome!! There's nothing better on a Sunday afternoon than sitting around the emergency room watching minor surgery. Woohooo!!!

He's fine. And we got to watch cool medical stuff.

Life is good. :)

I am so insanely bored right now

I'm incredibly bored right now. So bored, in fact, that I'm playing with the features of this blog instead of doing something useful like cleaning the house, or reading, or studying, or sleeping. One thing I'm playing with is kind of cool though -- did you know you can take pictures from your camera phone and send them straight into your blog? It's easy, and I might need to start doing it on a regular basis. I could give a visual element to my new blog that way.

Speaking of visual elements, what do you think of my first blog photo? Yes, they're the light switches at the top of my stairs. Did I mention I was bored?

Maybe I'll sleep now. Heck, it can't be any worse than taking pictures of light switches. By the way, I do not normally sit around taking pictures of light switches when I'm alone in the house. That would be weird. This is an isolated incident. Seriously. I swear.

First Post!!

This is the first post on my newly redesigned (again) blog. I decided to go with Blogger for the back-end this time, just because it's easier, and because Google does a great job with the interface. But mostly, of course, because it's easier. I'm lazy that way.

I'll be playing with the template and the blog's general look-and-feel, and I might even bother to post this time around (the last version ended up being... seldom-used). We'll see what happens.

I guess I should probably share a couple of things right off the bat, since this is a blog and all. Let's see... how to sum up my life in as few words as possible... okay, here's the quick news:

• Dr. Sherah graduates next weekend! Woohoo!!
• I'm leading a construction mission trip to Biržai, Lithuania in late July / early August.
• We're expecting a new baby this fall -- due date September 28.

Life is good!! And so is this blog, so far... :)
