Where have I been?????

studying, studying, studying!!!!!!!!! Wow, this summer has been so darn crazy!!! It is all I can do just to stay "afloat" right now! Lately, my days have consisted of getting up, going to school, coming home and doing something fun with the kids, cooking...well okay not always cooking, but getting dinner for the fam, and then studying again until almost bedtime. I really haven't been on the computer much other than for "school stuff". I have tried to make the most of my free time by doing something fun with the kids. I don't want them to miss out on their summer time in any way, because I am going to school. I have tried to plan fun things with them and spend real quality time with them. I get finished everyday at 12:00, so we usually will do something fun until Jeff gets home and then he takes over. Jeff and Brittany have been an amazing help this summer.

School is such a rewarding experience. Although it demands so much of my time, I absolutely love it. I am finding out that I am a "nerd" and love studying and learning new things. (don't make fun of me!) My history class has been so interesting, and has given me a whole new understanding of christianity! It helps that my teacher is also a christian!

This is something I feel God has truly put on our hearts, and we are trying to be obedient! The truth is I often don't tell others this, because it might not make sense! In some ways I don't even understand?!? We have a very long term plan for me to go to dental school. Eventually, we will have to move. We have been considering Virginia Commonwealth University, because my dad is a professor there and would keep us close to some family.

The point is I have no idea what exactly God has in store for us! I hesitantly use the word "missions", because "missions" is often thought of as going out of the country, but Jeff and I both know this is God's plan for our family! It could be something or someone somewhere on this journey we are suppose to encounter! The only thing I know right now is this feels right! It seems like it is all part of His plan! Ofcourse, I wish I could see the purpose in all of it, but right now I am just enjoying the journey!

I love you! It's good to hear what you're up to. I've been missing you, too, and it sounds like I'll just have to keep on missing you, huh? If you ever have a chance to squeeze me in, please let me know! And don't worry, I won't make fun of you. You know I'm a nerd, too! :)

I'm very proud of you!! I'm so excited that you are going back to school and just trusting God to take you where you need to go. It's liberating isn't it?? I love living my life for Him like this. Just letting Him take over. It's hard at times but things always work out the way they are supposed to!
