too much traveling!

Lewis and I made our all too familiar trek back to Louisville once again on Friday. This time, our visit was in honor of a family friend, and my former youth pastor, Greg Austen. He was visiting from New Jersey, and so we could not miss an opportunity to catch up with him since he was so close, relatively speaking. He works for an organization called the National Fatherhood Initiative which looks at the role of fathers in our society and how fatherhood (or the lack thereof) affects people and is at the core of many of our societal issues (poverty, drug abuse, crime, abortion etc.). Greg was speaking at a conference in Louisville over the weekend which didn't give us a long visit, but did catch us up on his family and their lives in N.J.

















Since this past week marked the 4th anniversary of my mom's passing, we stopped by the cemetery to let Lewis have a look around. Oddly enough, he liked the peaceful surroundings which made the experience much easier!
















If you've been keeping track, Lewis and I (and sometimes Justin) have been to Louisville 5 out of the last 6 weekends for some reason or another. Throw in a couple trips to Nashville and a quick visit to Glasgow, and we've logged too many miles and spent too much money on gas to keep this up! So while we love everyone, we will be sticking close to home in the coming weeks and saving our money. Should someone come down seriously ill, we will make an exception, but we are going to pray that doesn't happen. We are also looking forward to real fall weather and maybe even a few storms later in the week. Bowling Green is lovely in the fall.
