Wow, it is June and I haven’t written an update since January. The big news is that I am finished with my work at FPU and we have moved across town into a great town home. We have spent the last week setting it up and are having a blast. It is the first place we have lived in that is large enough to fit all of our stuff. I have to say, I thought I would be really sad to leave FPU but I was ready to be done with Residence Life. It has been an amazing four years in the profession and we have been blessed and built so many relationships and I will have a hollow spot in my heart living with out my fabulous RAs but life must go on and I know I will keep in touch with all of you. Justin’s mission trip in April was great. He took the youth to San Francisco with the Center for Student Missions and it went off with out a hitch. The closing of the residence halls went much better than last year. My team this year really came through for me and we ended on a beautiful note. In May we went home to Indiana for Justin’s sister’s graduation and for two weddings that Justin was in. It was our longest visit home yet since leaving Indiana and it was tons of fun. We actually had time to spend with family and reconnected with many friends from Taylor and ORU oddly enough. Justin is still going strong at the church. I feel like a lot of the kids we started with are graduating and we are gradually welcoming in the new Junior High students into the youth group. The summer holds a lot of fun activities for Justin including two weeks of summer camp and a conference in Boise, Idaho. Justin will be working diligently on his thesis this summer and will finish it in October. He is finished with his course work and will graduate in December. His degree will be in Leadership and Organizational Studies. Once he is finished he hopes to adjunct teach at a community college. I have two summer classes and will be full time working on my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy in the fall. I may work part time at the complex we are living in as a leasing agent. Nothing is for sure but they talked to me about a job when we moved in. It will be a totally different feel for me going back to school full time but once I am finished it will be all worth it. In other less important news, I have grown my hair out into a chin length bob :). Well, that should catch everyone up for now. Allow me to end with a few prayer requests…Please keep us in your prayers as well as my Grandmother. She has been ill for the past few months and is currently rehabilitating. Justin’s baby cousin Max is having troubles with his liver as well. And lastly, my brother in law was recently diagnosed with diabetes and is adjusting to taking insulin regularly.
