it looks like sailing days ahead...

today we had a chance to talk to two members of the Key West Sailing club. Adam has been waiting for this for a month now. We took a fellow teacher upstate for Christmas and during the ride, he told us of this club, where you pay a yearly fee, and can use any of their boats! So, of course Adam writes this in his PDA (if any of you out there know him, it ONLY gets remembered if it is in this thing - and not all items get this priveledge) and thus the trip this morning to the sailing club. Now, it just dawns on me while we are talking to these "old salts", that now i will also be learning to sail. Marriage is kinda like that, i guess. His desire will now become something I, too, will embark upon. So, with this new thought in my head - that i will be learning to sail - I am looking forward to an interesting adventure ahead. And also things like, will i like sailing?, is it easy to learn?, will i have to get wet?, you get my drift...

So, with an additional trip to Home Depot for some supplies (thank you Whites), we are going to be building some shelves. And what I mean by that is, I will tell Adam what I want it to look like, and he will show back upstairs with it. And that is what he is up to today. Downstairs, using a saw, listening to the radio, getting really dirty and walking in and out of the house (my favorite), and generally having a good time.

so - no fanfare of any proportion today. Just working around the house. it is very windy and somewhat cold today, so no water for us.

but as we were driving home, i was so thankful for all that God has blessed us with. I mean, we somehow got down here, and now we find this sailing club...we seem to move closer and closer to what Adam would love to do...and we didn't even try to do anything about it. if we hadn't helped out that teacher and given him a lift upstate, we wouldn't have heard about this club....weird, and cool. it's so nice to have Him looking out for us...
