Hi, Everyone,



I know the reunion in Utah was a blast. What a great place to visit! Thanks, Jen, for setting up this blog. Our summer has been quite eventful. I really missed coming to the reunion, but only so much will fit on the calendar.



Catherine graduated from Valdosta State University in May (BA, Sociology/Anthropology) and has spent the summer applying and preparing to volunteer in the Peace Corps. It is a fairly lengthy process and on this past Friday she received her invitation to serve in El Salvador!!! She is ecstatic...in the middle of the summer she and a couple of friends travelled around Europe, backpacking and staying in hostels. Needless to say, she has had a very exciting summer.



Ben finished his first year of college at Georgia Southern and spent part of the summer here at home working and attended a short session of school at GSU during June and July. He'll go back to college in about a week.



Jim and I are working fools...however, we are taking a couple of weeks off and traveling to Alaska soon. We celebrated 25 years of marital bliss (?/ha, ha) in May and this is our reward. We knew we couldn't do both the reunion and this trip. Now, it looks like next summer we might be going to El Salvador, so we'd better keep working!
