We are trying and that's what is important. Right?

I am trying to think about all the things that Abby and I have done since our last post. And since it has been almost 3 weeks since we posted last, it is going to be hard. But I will give it my best. I know for sure that my brother came in town from Fort Smith, AR. Which for those of you who are not familiar with the great state of Arkansas, Fort Smith is somewhere on the left side of the state. And I think it is close to Oklahoma, that or Texas. I do know it is about a 6 hour drive from Fort Smith to Memphis, so Rudy doesn't come visit that often. He came in for the Labor Day weekend, but I had to work most of it. But we did get to hang out on Sunday. My parents and Rudy came up to Mud Island to see Abby, Daphne, and I and we went to eat at The Flying Fish. I still liked it, but my mom was not impressed with the food. But she has a weird sense of taste sometimes. Everyone else liked it though. We went to the Flying Saucer after dinner and Rudy came with us and hung out with us until my parents were ready to go home. When Abby and I are not working, we are doing an impressive amount of rowing. We joined the Mid-South Indoor Rowing Club about a month ago and we try and go at least 3 times a week. And to say that it is one of the hardest things I have ever done that would be an understatement. Every time we go, I leave covered in sweat and on the verge of throwing up. But after my nausea subsides, I feel pretty good. I just dread it a little bit because I know that I am going to be pushed every time we go there and there is no such thing as an easy workout. Abby and I have been attending HighPoint church for about a month now and we like it a lot. We have attended the 20's and 30's married group once and it was interesting and we are glad we found a group we hope to fit in with. And we have signed up to help tutor students at Overton High school for the ACT starting this weekend. Now you might find yourself asking "what business do Abby and Robert, two nurses, have teaching high schoolers how to pass the ACT? Shouldn't they leave that to teachers or recent high school grads?" And you would have a very good point. But we are the best option for the students. They don't have teachers or recent high school grads as an option, so two nurses are going to have to do for now. And hopefully I can learn a thing or two in attempt to study for the GRE in the next year or so. anyways that covers what i can remember now.... i wrote this post prob 2 weeks ago but am just now publishing it. ahhh....
