Happy 4th of July!

We woke up to pouring rain. It's so nice and cool outside! The funny thing is that the American in me thought, "Ugh... it's raining on the 4th of July!" It's just not the typical, desired weather for such a summer holiday. There won't be any fireworks or grillin' out today. However, my new American friend, Angela has invited us over Friday night to a big hoop-la that she throws every year for the 4th. We'll be able to grill out and meet a lot of people she works with here in Graz. YEAH!

Prayer: Danny just left to meet someone who wants to look at our car. We're hoping to sell it before we leave in August so that we can save our money from now till our return and hopefully raise a little more to buy a car this Winter. If you don't know what I'm talking about--our car has been great! But it's smaller in the backseat and we need the leg room for adults who ride with us and for the kids carseats to fit better. It also would be nice to have airconditioning next summer. We've gone 3 years without one and it's getting hotter each year...or so it seems. haha!
