Summer Update

I hadn't realized how long it had been until I signed in. I knew it had been a while, but no clue how long. Sorry to all my loyal readers! (all 2 of you.)

The truth of it is that I (and the Howells in general) have been very busy. Here's a generic rundown of everything you missed:

• Joe's squadron had a dining out in the Tower of London. Amazing!
• Summer ball
• Vacation to Ireland with me, Joe, Ben, and Liz. Visited Dublin and the Dingle Peninsula
• Trip to Edinburgh, Scotland with friends
• Joe wrapped up his Master's degree
• I've been working on 2 more classes toward mine
• Fourth of July BBQ at our house
• Numerous BBQs at other houses
• Ben entered the terrible twos a few months early
• Joe deployed overseas

I bet you are tired just reading that! I haven't meant to neglect you. I simply haven't had any other choice. Overall, we are doing well. When I get a chance, I will fill in some details. Unfortunately, I have to go write a paper...due in 2 weeks...that I haven't started...
