Here's a quick update on the Torkelsons. Mesha just returned from a great weekend with the women of the Good family. They headed north to a resort for some good food and intense scrap booking. Not my bag of tea, but it sounds like they had a wonderful time and the creations that Mesha returned with look great!
In general, we have been keeping busy, but have also had a little more time lately to just hang out. We are trying to motivate ourselves to get all the projects at home done before winter hits. You would think buying a brand new place would make it so you didn't have many projects, but we are finding that not to be true.
The next month, for me, will be crazy busy with two youth retreats, a conference at Bethel and a conference at Willow Creek Community Church in Chicago. I think I am gone 1/3 of the month of October. Pray for Mesha because my business equals some more stress on her. Thanks for understanding and supporting my ministry, Meesh.
Mesha has settle her contract at work and subsequently decided to get crazy busy, there, herself. She has added responsibilities with the WOW (wellness on wheels) van, a new committee, heading up CPR training, and some complicated cases for her everyday work. Mesha is a mover and shaker, though, so I sure she will do very well at all of it.
The exciting news for Mesha and I for this month is the birth of our fourth nephew to my sister Julie. She had a c-section on wed. sept. 20 and gave birth to a 7 lbs 2 ounce baby boy named Liam. We get to meet him this weekend and I can't wait. I love being an uncle. The love and laughter that all my nieces and nephews bring me could not be replaced
