Home to Stay

It's been a while since our last update. In the last month we finished SBS, packed up our house, drove across the country, moved back to our favorite place on earth, attended a multi-day family reunion on one side of the family, spent the Fourth of July with the other side, and finally started working again and settling into normal life!

My favorite sight during the road trip: the first sign for Boston! A welcome reminder that the driving was almost over!

Second favorite sight: we stopped to see Niagara Falls (the US side):

Other exciting moments: documenting each step of the way...

...because we won the ipad contest! Thanks to all of you who voted! We successfully placed in the top ten and got the ipad 2, and came in second place overall, just missing the grand prize of the imac. Slightly disappointing, but mostly really exciting!

For now life has slowed to a comfortable pace. Jesse's landscaping and I'm returning back to the place of my very first job-- Dunkin Donuts! Ah, how I've missed smelling like coffee... We're also apartment-hunting, and I'll soon be cramming in calculus and chemistry reviews before I attempt to take further courses in the fall after not using that side of my brain for a few years. Yikes.

Thanks again for all of your prayers, and an extra big thank you to those who have continually showed enthusiasm for what we're doing and how God is leading us. This phase of life may be less eventful than the past couple of years, but we know he's still doing big things in us and still planning big things to do through us. It's such an encouragement to know that there are people cheering us on! We love you!
