I know, I know… it's been a really long time since I've updated my blog… But I have legitimate reasons! First off, Dad took the entire month of September off from work and we've been very busy working on a new barn for our goats. It has 4 stalls, a hayloft, and the middle is big enough to drive a 9 foot vehicle through it! … I'll post a few pictures of it in a second.

Second, Megan came back to visit with us again and is spending the month. This day last week, Megan and I officially started courting each other. Courting, unlike dating, is a pure relationship in preparation for marriage. There is no touching, or kissing. The Bible also warns us against fornication, in numerous places:

But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints;  (Ephesians 5:3)

Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
(Ephesians 5:7)

Thirdly, Megan and I both registered Facebook accounts. Strange, yes. It's starting to grow on me, now that I'm learning my way around, and have installed a Firefox addon to block all the Facebook ads… (Now, we just need to come up with some way to hide billboard ads from windshields!) It's definitely a big place with lots and lots of people. You can find me here… feel free to add me as a friend =)

I was carrying the video camcorder around with me today, and just remembered that the LCD screen on it flips out and swivels. So I got the bright idea to record myself, since nobody else uses it and gets me in any videos, lol

It was truely random, and a spur of the moment type thing.

We spent the last week with our grandparents in the Wild, Wonderful, West Virginia, since we hadn't been up to visit them for the past two years! Those who have been following me on Twitter were able to read all that happened to us, while we were up there. Everyone else probably just thought I stopped blogging!

I took the laptop along with us and my new 50$ 56k dialup modem so I could connect to the internet to update/read twitter, post pictures and read emails. It was still slow, but it was better than nothing

I also took the camera along with me (how could I leave without it?) and took 1300+ pictures in just one week! Generally about 200-300 pictures a day, but sometimes less than that. So needless to say, I have a ton of pictures on my hand that I've got to dig through to post. I'll just make a separate post with pictures, and give some of the details of the trip in this one.

The day after we arrived, Pap had an appointment in Winchester, VA at 5:30am for them to pump some cement into his cracked vertebra. They left early in the morning, so we didn't get to see them leave (err, at least I didn't….). He is doing a tad bit better, but still has lower back problems.

We did make several trips to my Aunt's house where we took pictures, met with the rest of the family, and was able to connect to her wireless network with highspeed internet!!

We ate out at several different restaurants, such as Ruby Tuesday's, Linda's Restaurant, Hobo's, Dairy Queen and Chick-fil-a. We helped Gran clean the church (since they are janitors), and we went bicycle riding down the Great Allegheny Passage Bike Trail, with Uncle Wayne, Aunt Mel and Kyle.  We had a fun time doing that (since it was all downhill!) and getting to see the steam locomotive that rides from Cumberland to Frostburg with passengers.

Overall, we had a great time up there visiting with our grandparents and relatives, along with the bike riding and sight seeing!… apart from me getting car sick a few times

I'll be making a follow up post that contains some pictures
