Summer of '09

What we're up to....

Julie:
-training for marathon #2=running workouts 5-6 days/week--lately been braving the treadmill as this Texas heat has become unbearable!
-looking forward to vacation Aug 14-23! we're finally doing our roadtrip from seattle to san fran!
-now on the "critical care" rotation at work= lots of intubated/sedated patients that don't need speech tx :). it's kinda slow, but it's nice for the summer!
-loves morning coffee on the new patio under the fan!
-is reading the "One Year Bible" starting from my bday this year (6/23) to next year


Caleb:
-had try outs and made Grit--the "A" ultimate club team=Tuesday night practice, Saturday practice, weekend tournaments every 2-3 weekends
-just completed a triathalon with NO training; is now into swimming at the gym
-doing more employment litigation at work--he doesn't love it, but the hours are pretty decent
-is still driving the Cavalier, although Julie is second guessing this car after all the car crash kiddos she's seen at work lately :(. On a side note, the Honda got hail damage last week and the Cavvy baby...of course, was under the garage at C's work!


We:
-just got back from a fabulous weekend getaway with the entire Ratliff gang at Port A to celebrate Mamie and Grandaddy's 60th wedding anniversary!
-are embarking on the big 5 year mark, July 31st--I'll try to devote an entire post to that one :)
-are loving life this summer. The Lord gives and takes away, and we're cherishing this time of "giving"....friends, family, house, low stress, great marriage, ahh.....
