The Summer

We still haven't heard anything about internships for the fall, so continued prayers would be much appreciated. Josh and I have been pretty busy since arriving in Pittsburgh, and that's not ending anytime soon either.

We have many places to go, many people to see and many wonderful lifetime events to be a part of. In just a few short weeks my big brother will be tying the knot with his high school sweet-heart Brandy Hale in Williamsport, PA. Both Josh and I are in the bridal party which is super fun and exciting. Can't wait =]

Then, I suppose our "next big thing" is vacation with the Browns in Duck, NC. I LOVE the beach, and thoroughly enjoy going with them. It's a great time, and a much needed break from the real world. That will be the last week in July/first week in August. This time we're way up the coast away from all the hub-bub of Nags Head, which I like. It's refreshing to sit out on the porch in the mornings and read my bible with just the sound of waves in the background, and smell of salt in the air. Josh and I plan to go pier fishing, and get our tan on whilst beach-bumming. And of course, they're always ghost crabbing... It's great time to spend with family too. Usually the whole clan is together so it's a great time to catch up with everyone.

Then finally, August 7th is our 2 year anniversary! (How weird!) Josh is surprising me for our anniversary. I know we're going somewhere, and doing things, but where and what, I haven't the foggiest, I enjoy surprises so I'm really looking forward to it. It's so weird how time flies. God has really blessed me with a strong, hardworking and loving husband. I come home from work at the end of the day and he has watered my plants, taken our dog for a walk and made me dinner - all after he spent the day at work too. I'm really very blessed.

The fact that it's almost July already is weird to me. We've been here for 2 months almost already. And my end of orientation is quickly approaching. I'm ready for it though. I'm not looking forward to starting night shifts, but I'll do what I have to do. I don't think it will be near as bad as last time because I'm not working 5 nights a week and I won't be sitting in an office secluded from everyone fighting to stay awake. Hopefully the whole day-night switching will be temporary though. You can do anything for a time... perhaps a year or 2. God is in control, and he'll get me through the tough spots.

So! That's our summer! Among other spontaneous plans that will arise, I'm sure. =] The important thing to remember in this season of business is God and his plans for us. Our silly little plans don't out weigh God's great and magnificent plans, and we need to be focused on him daily.
Thanks for reading!
