Well summer is coming to a close. What we expected to be a slow and uneventful summer has turned out to be quite busy. We are fully settled into our new place and are still enjoying it. Last I wrote we had just returned from a wonderful trip home to Indiana in May. I had also included some prayer requests. Unfortunately, Justin had to make an unexpected trip home for the funeral of his baby cousin. Then the day that he was returning from that trip my Grandmother passed away. Justin was able to see her the day she died though. So the next week we both went home once again for her funeral. Needless to say it was a sad few weeks and exhausting with all of the traveling. But we were glad to be able to make it home and be with family during such hard times.
On a happier note, I had mentioned that Justin would spend two weeks at camp this summer. He and another youth pastor were the key note speakers for the week and they did an amazing job. Justin really enjoyed speaking and spending quality time with the youth! He has been facilitating weekly activites for the students this summer. We took the youth on a day trip to Santa Cruz where they had fun at the boardwalk and also had an all-nighter one week. (I think Justin is still recovering from that one. Our age is beginning to show :).) Finally last week we spent a few days in Las Vegas. I found a really good travel deal online that we couldn't pass up so we took a mini-vacation. It was quite relaxing. We saw several shows, one of which Justin got to participate in - very funny!
Other than that, life has been as ususal. I survived my summer classes and have decided not to work part time. I will still be selling Arbonne on the side though. School starts next week so I will be adjusting to student life again but I have a feeling it will be slower than our ususal pace. I am really enjoying my free time and being to help out more with the youth group.
I hope this e-mail finds you all well and we always love hearing updates from each of you. Keep in touch.
Love, Sarah and Justin
PS: I forgot to mention last time that we traded in Justin's car in May and bought a Scion XB, It's our new toy :). Check it out @ http://www.scion.com/showroom/xb/gallery/ .
