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...
