May 2012

I can't believe it is the middle of June. The summer has flown. May 2012 was not the easiest month for us, we started some fertility treatments which did not go well and now we seem to be taking the summer to emotionally recover. Who would have known that this trial could be so hard? But we are trying to look forward with hope and enjoy the happiness God wants for us right now. So the Summer of 2012 starts with an open slate of wonder and trepidation in moving forward to possible career advancements, travel adventures, fitness challenges and enjoying life in a more carefree way than we have ever done. The song "I'll go where you want me to go dear lord" seems to be a recurring theme in our lives, and we have decided to address this trial with "and trusting my all with thy tender care, and knowing thou lovest me, I'll answer dear lord with my hand in thine I'll go where you want me to go...I'll do what you want me to do... I'll be who you want me to be."

 May started out with celebrating Brad's 32nd Birthday at Battle of the Bands. Go Adept Android!

 Brad was happy to find an Ibsen look alike
 We checked out the Rennaissance festival for the first time


 I had gypsy tell my fortune




 Brad loved the Sasparilla


 This is the first real jousting match I have seen- it was exciting



Later in May we celebrated ethnic cuisine at our annual lunch at the Living Traditions Festival
 We decided the Salvadorena cuisine was the best this year
 The Ethiopian samosa were delicious
 And the the Nepalese food was so- so
 We donated to build a school in Africa and got an ox one of the students made.

 And we say the best Hula dancing ever!

 May 27 we celebrated our anniversary in the mountains.
