In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

All Is Well

Filed under: General — Rachel at 6:18 pm on Monday, October 8, 2007

Just in case you’re wondering, the Harmons are all alive and kicking. We’ve been so very busy, though. I have thought every day since my last post that I should post something new. I’ve just not had much time, though.

Chris and I are covered up with homework. Chris more so than me. The poor man never gets a chance to relax.

My classes are going well. I stay busy, but my grades are okay. I’m really enjoying my English class. I’m taking Composition II this semester, and it is so awesome. We spent the first several weeks reading and analyzing short stories, and, now, we’ve moved to poetry. Really…when reading poetry is my assigned homework, I am a happy camper. Unfortunately, I also have three other classes that care nothing for poetry. Psychology and Sociology are both very interesting, and Western Civ is okay. Unfortunately for me, I chose poorly when I picked my classes. All four classes require a great deal of reading and homework. This translates to very little time for anything else.

Kyra’s doing well in kindergarten. She’s learning to read! Yay for that!

The boys are also doing well. Owen’s cutting teeth. Pray for me him.

Fall break is next week. For me and Kyra, at least. Chris doesn’t get one. The kids and I are going on a road trip. I have class Thursday night, so we’re going to leave early Friday morning. Please pray for safety and sanity!

So, yeah. We’re still alive.

I was thinking… the message I heard Sunday morning was about the importance of every person in ministry. If any of you guys have been contemplating a ministry that delivers casseroles to tired and overworked students and their poor, sad, frozen food consuming children, well, I could hook you up.

To bad you and Amy don’t live closer. I have enough leftovers from each weekend to keep your families well fed.

Hmm…I think I could move to Texas for the promise of food. Yes, yes, I’m certain I could. :)

Amy, your comment made me think of a loaded omelette biscuit from Hardees. Want to go get one with me?

I wish.

Rachel, hope you don’t mind my inane comment. Feel free to delete. :)

Y’all have fun!

Hang in there! I’m sure you’re overwhelmed and stressed but just know it’ll all be worth it. I’m glad to hear that things are ok though. I’ve been wondering where you were. =)
