A Lot Has Gone On

It's been a really long time since I've blogged and a healthy combination between a lot and a little has gone on.
First, Max is healthy! He no longer has glaucoma and came away from his ailment with only mild retina scars. None of his vets know what triggered his condition, but all say he is very lucky to have come out of this situation with his sight. He is as happy as ever and continues to smile and play as though nothing ever happened.
Brier, our mix puppy we adopted in December, is getting really big. She's 10 months old and taller than Max. She's super intelligent and loves to be outside. The only thing we're still trying to break her of is her infatuation with chewing. It's one thing when she chews her toys (that's cool, chew your toys), but it's another thing all together when it's our hands - we like our hands and prefer when our fingers remain on them rather than in her belly. We're hoping it's just a "puppy thing" and that she'll grow out of it soon.
Scott is a vegetarian now. He's been on this diet for almost 8 months now and is loving it! He says he feels great and that he's not really missing anything (except for bacon, occasionally). I am on a 70/30 vegetarian diet. Who knows, maybe by the end of the year I'll be a vegetarian too.
Scott also has dreadlocks. I locked his hair during our vacation in April, it took 16 hours! I still think he owes me stuff for that labor of love! When I completed the locking process my hands and arms went completely numb! I don't know how the professional dreadlockers of South Carolina do it.
As a couple we've gotten involved in a lot of missions and feel compelled to serve in other countries. Scott will be going to Santiago, Chile, South America in December and is still trying to finish raising funds. We're both praying that an opportunity will open up so that we can go to Africa in the next year or so. And word on the street is our church will be going to Jamaica next year. These trips will be a lot of things and we hope that we're open to the experience - ready just isn't the right word.
Well that's enough informing for now.
Until next time. :)
