A few thoughts...

**We have holes in our house...Todd has been diligently working on filling them with glass block. It really is amazing how much light there is in the basement now with the plastic up! I'm more amazed by how God made our bodies crave sunshine and how much it affects us! We'll so much more want to be down there now! Todd has been a great dad/husband and spent some time with us even when he wanted to be working on the project.(You'll get to see a finished window project in a later post.)

**Why does JL put his clothes on backwards more than 50% of the time, especially his underwear? His underwear is on backwards almost 100% of the time! By the end of the day it's usually even inside out and backwards even if it's been put on correctly at some point. I really should just get him some more boxers. But why does he do this? Probably more importantly, should I really care?

**Identity theft is real but for us is over...we got notification that they agreed that the car loan in Texas was not taken out by us and would be removed from Todd's credit report. I won't be taking out any credit cards at department stores anytime soon or for like 7 years but no one else with be able to do that either! We may want to not move to Texas for a few years either and try to get a drivers license.

**Why would a town wait until 11pm to put on their fireworks display for the 4th of July! There was not a happy parent/kid in the place where we were because it was just too late!

**I have entered the Rolla racing scene. Yesterday morning I took 3rd place for my age division in the Firecracker 5K! Hills are still a killer here in Rolla. I did great on the hills but used up all my energy going up in the lst mile while passing people that I didn't have enough to keep up with them on the way back down to the end! Can't complain about 3rd place and then meeting the girl who I raced with the entire course.
