We have really enjoyed our summer. It's been the most exciting summer we've ever had, and included the following adventures:
1. We lived in four states- from Utah, to Missouri, to Texas, and now we are temporarily settled in Nevada. We enjoyed the chaos of moving and learned more things than I can tell. If you ever want to learn a lot about life and about yourself, then sell all your furniture and go on an adventure, trusting God as your leader!
2. Phoenix is not a baby, he is a toddler. A year old, not nearly as bald, starting to talk (his latest saying is "Uh-oh!" whenever he drops something). We wait on the Lord to see when He wants us to try for another baby.
3. Isaac has a new job, another sales job, that keeps him travelling. And he is considering becoming a fire fighter. I think it would be a perfect fit for him, since he loves a challenge and has never done well with traditional, 9-to-5 jobs.
I am seeking the Lord's will for our future. In the meantime, I enjoy the present moment and all that God gives us. Living with my in-laws has been such a blessing to my family. We've learned a lot and being with family helps to curb my lonliness when Isaac's gone for work. His latest trip was to Idaho, and it's a ten day trip- YIKES!- so I can look forward to seeing him around 3:00 AM this Monday. I can't wait to hug him and enjoy some time together before his next trip.
Summer has been great, full of change and growth. Fall is here, my favorite season, and the weather is perfect. 70 degrees, a slight Autumn breeze...ahh...the weather must feel like this in heaven!
