Good news. Not "Steve Yzerman's going to coach the Red Wings" good, but good.

"My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between, I occupy myself as best I can." -Cary Grant

Amy and I follow a similar pattern. Here's what we've been occupying ourselves with lately:

• We bought tickets to return home for Christmas. We'll be visiting Alabama and Michigan (and whatever's in between), as well as attending the Passion Conference in Atlanta. If you want to see us (more like "since you want to see us"), just let us know via facebook, email, or even by leaving a comment here on the blog.
• I finished part two of the story I've been working on for a couple of years now. Get excited, literary critics.
• Last week was particularly stressful for both of us. Students have just been a little too...student-y? Anyway, it's caused some serious exhaustion. Fortunately, today is Saturday, and we're loving it.
• Report cards are coming up soon. This'll be a good opportunity for us to knock students into caring about what we're talking about, which should be great, if we're gospel-minded about the whole thing.
• We went to get some Surinamese food for lunch today, not because we had to, but because we've been cooking at home so much that we actually were really wanting some. And it was really good. Come on down and try some.

That's all for now. Go red wings!
