A bad case of....

....writer's block. That is what I have diagnosed myself with. In case none of you have noticed, there haven't been too many exciting posts lately. So since I have nothing better to post, I'll give you a small update on life.

First, I should ask: what do you all think of the new background?

Our fall slate has been filling up - in fact, Deanna and Dad are currently in Newton, Iowa, for a revival. This Friday we are off to Goodland, Kansas - please pray for safe travels as it is a long drive!

Please take a look at our current schedule on the right side of the page - this fall we will be traveling to a couple of different states, including Illinois, North Dakota, and Kansas. If any of my blogging friends are anywhere close to where we will be, feel free to come and see us! I would love to meet you!

So, that's about all I have to say. Comments, anyone?

Iowa Hawkeye Game

On August 30, Dad and Mom were able to go to the home opener Iowa Hawkeye football game against Maine (thanks to the Smiths!)! They were positively thrilled to be able to go, after being long-time Iowa Hawkeye fans, but never being able to go to a game. They had great seats right under the scoreboard and were all decked out in their Hawkeye garb!
