I failed to tell most anyone that I recently had “outpatient surgery” on my left eyelid. It was all very sudden. I went to get my eyes checked to get new glasses and ended up with an appointment to see a specialist about a growth on the inside of my eyelid.
So, I went to the specialist and he recommended removing it which they did that afternoon in their large office. I had a patch on overnight and then was able to function pretty normally after that. It has pretty much healed completely. They did send a sample off to the lab for testing. Allison was able to watch the whole procedure, so if you have questions about what it was like under my eyelid, she could tell you how pleasant it all was 
I told her she couldn’t take pictures of the procedure, although the doctors were quite open to the idea. I have no desire to see behind my eyelids. If God wanted us to be able to see behind our eyelids we would be able to see it when we close our eyes. I don’t know about you, but all I see is darkness. Oh, and the doctor was so reassuring saying that he didn’t think the growth was anything to be concerned about, but they did say during the procedure, “I’ve never seen anything like that before.”

We are coming to an end of our summer of moving 
The house is finished! Well sort of. I can say that we are so grateful to Cornerstone University and to Allison’s parents for welcoming us first in the campus apartments for two months, then to Allison’s parents who welcomed us into their home for what has become two months. It is uncommon to find people of such kindness and hospitality these days. I don’t know how Allison and I could have survived the past two months without Bob & Martha’s hospitality. Given all that they have done for us, one continues to wonder how we could ever repay them…I know they would say there is no need…but one still wonders.
Well, we took possession of our new home on Thursday of last week and have been moving and building ever since. It has been fairly chaotic, but manageable I guess. We have the walls framed for Josh’s bedroom in the basement, we had a water softener installed and have had to have the air conditioning fixed all since moving in. Oh, and we have been unloading the PODS that we had stored all our stuff in before. I hope to have the stove installed tonight so we can start cooking and connect the water line to our refrigerator. Oh, all the details, the list of things we need to do. I doubt we will feel settled till next year sometime. We still don’t have closets. I guess this is what happens when we try to save a few bucks here and there by not having professional installation of some of these things. The house is beautiful…it will be wonderful – actually it is wonderful, but I can’t wait until we can get to the place where we will actually be able to enjoy it.
