goal setting

Since things have settled down a bit, this week I’m going to try and go back through our Turkey photos and put together some blog posts about parts 3 and 4 of our trip. I know I left everyone hanging with the cave hotel and Cappadocia, but it was such an amazing place that I didn’t want to throw up some photos without explaining what you were seeing. And I haven’t even looked through my many, MANY photos to delete the ones that are out of focus, show me with my mouth open, or are duplicates of the same thing.

I always end up poring over 10 of the same photo trying to figure out which one has the most people actually looking at the camera. Of course it always ends up being the one where I’m smiling so hard I look like a flock of crows has landed around my eyes. The ones where I look like I’m in a ANTM photo shoot? Everyone else has fingers in their noses, hands covering their eyes, or is in mid-yawn.

So that’s why there may be a small lull in posting. Along with organizing and writing my Turkey stories and photo editing, this week I have back to school night for Calvin, the women’s fellowship group at church, a wives coffee (an official one for embassy spouses, not the drop in at Starbucks kind), and a party at the Ambassador’s house. And the kids start Awana and have rugby, but those are both on Josh, not me.

So maybe things haven’t settled down that much.
