Merry Christmas!
I last wrote in August. Life has been busy as usual these past few months. The most exciting news is Justin finished his thesis this semester and graduated with his Masters of Arts in Leadership and Organizational Studies from Fresno Pacific University on Dec. 15th. His parents came for the graduation and visited with us for a week which was fun. We went to Santa Barbara and relaxed. I made it through my first semester as a full time graduate student. I must say that graduate work is challenging and my finals were grueling but I know I have learned a lot and am excited to continue on the path towards becoming a therapist. I am always amazed at how fast time goes by and we are already contemplating future plans. I plan to graduate in May of 2008 and Justin is looking into doctoral programs all over the country which he would possibly start once I am finished.
Things at the church are going great. Justin took the youth on a global poverty simulation retreat in September and hosted another all-nighter in November. I have been leading two bible studies, one with a group of high school girls and another with a group of girls from Fresno State. We both continue to enjoy working with adolescents and young adults and are blessed through those mentorships daily.
In October, I celebrated my golden birthday turning 27 on the 27th. Our friend Andrew from Philadelphia came to visit over Thanksgiving and we spent the holiday in San Francisco. We are actually going to enjoy Christmas together just the two of us. Then my family will join us on a cruise to Mexico from January 1st-9th to celebrate the new year and our five year anniversary!
The spring holds many more adventures -- many conferences, mission trips, weddings, retreats, etc...We always love hearing from our friends and family so stay in touch.
We wish you a very blessed holiday season and a happy new year!
With Love, Sarah and Justin Spurlock
