A lot has gone on this summer. Amy and I have been all over California and New England. As life stays busy, we update the blog less and less. One major contributing factor to less blog time is more Facebook time, but I plan to post on Facebook every time that I update our blog. For today, how about some updated pictures?! Go here to see pictures of our trip to New England in June, our camping trip with Jacob and Sarah Ailes, our trip to the Huntington Library and Gardens for our anniversary, the VBC college/career camping trip, and my trip to climb Mt. Whitney.
School resumes for me next Thursday, and I look forward to moving to the halfway point of my seminary education. This summer, I have also learned a lot about how to help in the kitchen. I've made many meals, though most of them have been very simple. Someday, Amy and I hope to have several children, and we hope that Amy will be able to be at home with them and not have to work. As crazy as a dream that that is in Southern California, we pray that God would allow us to do that soon. Doing the laundry, cleaning the apartment, shopping for groceries and making dinners have helped me appreciate my mom and all the hard work she did around our house growing up. It also points me to a day when I'm done with school, working full time and able to come home to a loving, helpful, creative wife and beautiful babies. Until that day comes, we will work hard for the glory of God, "knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord" (I Cor. 15:58).
