So I have come to the point of realizing that I need to update after several prompts and several months...
Well since the last time I wrote we no longer have a cat. Life seems to be a blur of constant motion and as I think back over the past few months so much has happened, Melanie and I have been married for over a year and three months which just seems to get better. Melanie cannot wait to get out of married housing at WBC and is completely ready to graduate.
The couples retreat Melanie is planning is set to happen November 7-8 but not many people have signed up. It seems like it is going to be a great time of fun, fellowship, and growing together as couples and if anyone who reads this can come we would love for you to attend.
Work is going well, incredibly busy, but well including plenty of overtime which means more for the bills.
I am reading a book called "Soul Cravings" by Erwin Mcmanus which has been both encouraging and challenging. It has made the point that we as humans were designed to have dreams and to strive to obtain those dreams not just exist as animals. This idea really takes away any idea of just existing comfortly in complacency.
on another note my dad's B-day is next weekend and I am really looking foward to celebrating with Melanie, Dad, and Needie.
I guess I have really rambled enough and I hope that I have updated enough for everyone.

So, I'm thinking I will be needing to borrow that book when you're done.
Dearest Ira,
I so enjoyed your blog. Did you give up Melanie's car? I can testify regarding your retreat that the number is not importand as the message. When I taught College and Career it was feast or famine. When it was famine I would get upset yet the Lord gently asked me if I had learned anything in the preparation for the lesson. So I will pray that God would bring those couples there that will be touched by His message.
Love you both much!
Mom
Yeah... it's been a whirlwind for us! I'm terrible about keeping in contact! I have to get better! We need to plan a date really soon!!
