The Maryland Farms YMCA in Brentwood completely revamped their outdoor pool* this summer. Initially, I was very overwhelmed with both kids and everything that is there, but now that Joshua has figured out his boundaries, we are having a great time. Also, every time I go I get to see friends from church, from my days of teaching or from some other phase of our Nashville life. It's like a little reunion every week. Last week, I ran into Tiffany. It had been nearly two years and two kids since we had seen each other last. Today, I saw my new friend Beth and her three sweet kiddos. All in all, this new pool has been a load of fun for us. So, basically what I'm saying is if you want to join the party, Maryland Farms is where it's at!
*This is not the pool I referenced in the last post. I want to thank all of you for all the kind and thoughtful comments, emails, and phone calls. They were all very encouraging. I also walked away from that post with a new verse to memorize. Psalm 141:3-4a Set a guard over my mouth , O LORD; keep watch over the door of my lips. Let not my heart be drawn to what is evil. Not a bad thing to take away from a day like that. Both my self-doubt and my frustrations with the unnamed woman were not drawing my heart to righteousness.
One last thing, I was serious about not being afraid to talk to me. You can now all stop with the apologies for what may or may not have been said over the course of the last year. If that is the case, I need to start calling everyone I know.

i can't believe we haven't run into you at the pool yet!! my boys love it too! we need to plan a time to meet & catch up there!
Two thoughts-
1-Let's meet at that pool next week.
2-I just memorized that same verse. God has really been reminding me of the extreme importance of DAILY surrendering my speech to Him. The tongue is such a mighty vessel...
that is the CUTEST bathing suit that Andi has on!
OK that pool is amazing!!! I wanna go tooooooo!
I've been once, and it is really unbelievable! Call me next time you venture out that way...we'll be there in a heartbeat!

That pool looks awesome! It was good to meet you at the playground the other day--your kids are so sweet. Hopefully we'll meet again at the playground more this summer!

You must have been the first person there or the last to leave. I've never seen the pool that empty. Look forward to running into yall there again.
