We are anxious to hear about how things are going with all of you! If you would like to send an update on your lives to publish in our blog, we would be happy to do so! We're counting down until we get to see many of the Bells in the next couple weeks!
This week was kind of a down week for us. We are trying to finish up a number of projects before going up to the Lake, and so we've spend a lot of time sitting in front of our computers. Nate is working on a website for Franklin County Humane Society, of Franklin County, Indiana. When they took over the shelter 6 years ago, the county was euthanizing 100% of the 700 animals that passed through the system per year. Since then the FCHS has been chipping away at their numbers and last year they only lost 15 adoptable animals. They are such a wonderful group of hard working people! We hope their new website and online application will be the push that the public needs to adopt those remaining 15 dogs and cats this year. Helping to make their county 100% no-kill is an exciting thing to be a part of.
Nate wants it stressed that the website is still being developed, but I think it looks great and wanted to share it with all of you! http://members.petfinder.com/~
We've spent much of this weekend recovering from seeing the midnight show of Harry Potter with some friends on Thursday night/Friday morning. Though, in our exhaustion, we were still able to have Birthday cake with Adam and Lauren on Friday night, and enjoy a quesadilla filled evening last night with Dave, Matt, Pete and Sara.

The fabulous Cake! (It's bigger on the inside)
Much to Nate's chagrin, I have been spending time at local animal shelters and rescues. I really wish that there was a way to make a livable wage by working for them, because I find I really do love it. And here, I am only working with groups that either 1) Only have executive boards, or 2) Do not have boards at all. Live and learn, right? But I spend all of Tuesday vaccinating kittens and taking videos of cats with Mid-Michigan Cat Rescue, and a joyful Friday helping out at Ingham County Animal Control. I think I really have a problem. [No new animals yet, so I haven't had to stage an intervention -Nate]
We will be updating next week on the first day at Torch Lake! Yay!
All our love!
