Summer's ending

Summer is winding down, it's the middle of August now! On August 7th, Josh and I celebrated 2 years of marriage. Hard to believe that much time has passed already. I'm looking forward to many more years with him - my best friend. We've had quite a few crazy memories, quite a few adventures. We moved to a state 10 hours away and back again, discovered New England, visited the southern part of the country on our last anniversary... We've led a pretty blessed life together thus far.

 That following weekend after our anniversary, we journeyed back to Clearfield for my grandfather's memorial service. It was a difficult time, and yet it was a relief as well. His suffering is over, but it was sad looking back at his life, and our lives together to realize that he won't be there (in person) anymore. And it was also the last of my grandparents to go be with the Lord. It was nice to catch up with family and spend some time helping mom get things settled around the house though.

It's hard to believe that another season of life has passed. We're back into fall, and then winter - and on and on. I've been enjoying our time here for the most part - living in the city when you're used to wide open fields and tons of space does take a little getting used to, and at times I feel the need to just get away from it all, but we have been doing pretty well with that. I look forward to "the next step". Josh will have an internship with the immigration law firm this fall, and then he will take the BAR in February if all goes according to plan. Then we shall see what God has planned for us! Until then, I'm focusing on being grateful for the small things, the mundane, and simple beauty in the world. =]

Love, Sara
