This guy makes me jealous.

I’m pretty sure that if I still lived at home, my Dad and I would’ve built this by now.
Today I finally felt well enough to help Jess finish the Baby’s room. I removed the futon, hung the “finishing touches” and gave it a thorough vacuuming.

April 27th is getting closer and closer!

Thank you Mom Garrett for the tremendous help on the room yesterday!
Another day of feeling better is under my belt.
Tonight I even ate “real” food! Macaroni and cheese!
Sadly, I was not able to join our 24 students at the District Lock-Out tonight in Ft. Wayne. Thankfully I have some great sponsors who are enduring that all-night event without me this evening and into tomorrow morning. It is great to serve with some of the world’s greatest people!
Tomorrow I may venture outdoors – something I haven’t done in quite some time.
Mom Garrett came today to help Jess with the baby’s room. They arranged things very well and put things away – now all that needs to be done is me taking the futon out of that room and down to the basement. If I had all of my strength, I would’ve tried it today. Maybe tomorrow I can take it apart and take it downstairs… That’s the plan.
Today has been another “I know I’m getting better” day, though Jess is suffering with a bit of a sore throat now. Not good.
Feeling better, I finally took some more time to get “caught up” on e-mail and web-surfing as well as cleaning out my digital camera of some digital-goodness.
Last week, on Thursday, Jess and I enjoyed a superb meal and fellowship with Thomas Hall & Bethany Kinney in the Marion home of Rev. Bill & June Kinnan. These two welcomed us into their home with open arms:
After our meal, we found ourselves in the living room spending time singing together around the piano. Great times and some of them are now being shared with the general public:

We also enjoyed the calm presence of both Pastor Bill and Miss June – even some teaching-time with Pastor Bill, captured here:

After our late-evening at the Kinnans, we met up with “Professor” Pence after his night class at IWU and enjoyed a quick visit with him at the Tree of Life bookstore:
