Heat or Sun? 7/8/2007
It’s a tough call, especially since we have both in spades here in Arizona. You might think it odd I even have/get to make a decision between heat or sun, but the situation is that I’ve begun exercising again. While I often do TV-recorded workouts in the pleasant cool of the house, sometimes I like to get outside and run. So I have a choice: I can run after the sun goes down while it is around 96-97 degrees outside OR I can run in the morning when it is cooler, but the sun is bright and its rays are powerful. For me, I choose heat over sun because I can endure sweat, but the sun is just not friendly to my fair skin. There are more practical issues as well, such as the problem that Steve leaves by 6:00 am and I am so not a morning person. Getting up early enough to run before he’s gone is most likely not ever going to happen. So, for me, it’s the heat. Oddly, I enjoy my hot evening runs, even if I am a disgusting sweaty mess when I return. I bring along my ipod shuffle and enjoy a hearty selection of praise and worship while I run. It’s a physical and spiritual workout. Ok, off to the shower for me!
I just checked back in to see how you’re all doing. I’m so glad to hear that everyone is doing so beautifully!
Veech just had surgery #5 the day after our 2nd anniversary. Time sure flies.
We’ll be praying for your Russian adoption. It’s so exciting!!! We’ve started talking about adoption again (Veech wants to go “pick out a sister and a brother), but for now it’s all just talk; there’s just too much going on. Maybe in a year or so…
Love to you all!!

Jodi – I just came across your blog…..the caption when I was searching for Ukraine Adoption Blogs caught my eye, because I also adopted a litle girl from Berzerka Orphange and she too has severe hearing loss. At the time we adopted Katie, Jan. 2005, she was 15 months and no one knew she had a hearing loss until we arrived home. ( not that this would have altered our decision to adopt for one minute…it was love at first sight!) I was thrilled to see some pictures of the orphanage, because at the time we were there, they were in the middle of all the wonderful renovations! The children were temporarily housed in a Children’s Hospital some distance from there. Our first visit with the Orphange director was in his office, with contruction crews tearing walls down all around us, it was very
bizarre! I’d love to chat more……Katie wears bilateral hearing aids, but colear implants may be in her future….I can’t wait to go back and read more of your blog!
