I woke up and pinched myself this morning. Seriously, a summer with no job? How about a summer with a husband who has no job? I honestly don't think I could ask for a better career -- I get to play everyday with precious little ones and only work half the year! I have had a lot of time to sit back and count my blessings this past month. God is changing my heart and I have never been more grateful.
Our summer adventures have included...
Our dear friends, Miranda and Billy's wedding!
A week-long trip to Daytona Beach with our good friends, Josh and Jennie.
Painting of our entire house. It's still in the process but it's getting closer everyday!
Painting of this super cool TV cabinet. Don't tell our landlord, but I think we're going to paint an accent wall this color too! :)
A few days with my family in Michigan.
Time to really seek God through this amazing Bible Study.
Lots of open gyms for Bradley.
Still to come this summer:
Buddy's neutering...tomorrow. I'm not sure the last time I was this nervous!
Trip to TN for Brad to meet my extended family.
My wisdom teeth removal...ahhh!
Our 1 year anniversary! I can hardly believe it's here.
The beginning of a two year journey toward a Masters of Educational Administration...wish us luck!
And the simpleness of enjoying the sunshine before the craziness begins again.
I am so anxious to get into my classroom and begin setting up for the fall...I often wonder if this earnestness will continue as my years increase. I sure hope so! I keep reminding myself to enjoy all the 'time' I've been given and not to let it tick away without realizing that God has a purpose in every minute. I'll try and get an update toward the end of this month because as soon as we hit August 1st...there is litle breathing room!
I'll end with a Beth Moore quote that touched my heart during my Bible Study this morning:
"God created time and never wastes it. We alone waste time when our impatience to receive our earthly inheritance hinders our preparation to know what to do with it."
