Spurlock Update 4/28/07

Greetings!

It is the end of the school semester and I am ready for a break. I made it through finals and am well on my to starting my practicum in August. I am excited to begin seeing clients and to not be stuck in the class room. I will be interning with two organizations -- Alliant International University where I will be working with children, and Kings View County Mental Health where I will be treating clients with substance abuse problems and other co-curring mental health disorders. May will be very relaxed for us but then I will have to hit the books again during the three summer classes I am taking. Luckily though, we are going home for a week in May to relax and visit with friends and family. Justin will be busy this summer starting up a summer day camp for the kids in the neighborhood around the church. In July and August he will have two weeks of summer camp with the youth as well.

Our biggest news as of late is that we got a dog. Yes, Justin caved and we now have an adorable cocker spaniel named Nilla (short for Vanilla). She suffers from separation anxiety because we got her from the animal shelter and she requires a lot of love. She has made the past two weeks eventful and forced us to be homebodies. Today's adventure was installing a dogie door. See my previous post for pictures.

Justin just celebrated his 27th birthday this past week. It was pretty uneventful since I was finishing up the semester but it is yet another reminder that time is marching on.

We love hearing from everyone so stay in touch!

Love Sarah and Justin Spurlock

Our New Pooch

Introducing Vanilla Muffin Spurlock :) Sooo Cute!!! We call her Nilla for short though. It's a lot of responsibility just to have that cute face around but what can I say... she loves us.
