Hello!
I can't believe another season has come and gone. It was a busier summer than anticipated. I took a full load of classes so it actually felt like a regular semester. Justin finished a successful summer day camp program and has now started up the fall programming for the youth group. We ended up going home to Indiana twice this summer, once in May and once in August. The trip home in August was a surprise visit to celebrate Justin's parent's anniversary. This past Labor Day weekend we enjoyed the weekend in Las Vegas. We stayed at Caesar's Palace and sat at the pool all day.
I have started seeing clients at both of my practicum sites. I am feeling a little overwhelmed by the newness of the experience but am learning a lot quickly. I am also taking two other classes in addition to my practicum, so I am in syllabus shock at the moment. I just keep telling myself that I have to get through the next few months and the spring semester will be much lighter.
Justin has been preparing the confirmation curriculum for the youth as well as planning a trip to Disneyland. In the spring he will be taking the youth on mission trip to L.A. He also has just started taking our dog to training classes, which is great entertainment for the whole family.
We are looking forward to having family visit us this fall. Justin's parents will be coming over Thanksgiving and my little sister is going to spend most of her winter break with us.
The big news is that we are planning to move to Chicago next June after I graduate. Justin wants to get his doctorate in Sociology of Religion and Chicago has a ton of great programs plus it is close to our family in Indiana. This school year will be focused on preparing for the move and making the transition. Justin will soon send in his applications and take the GRE. We have begun looking at houses. And eventually, I will have to do the whole job hunt thing. It seems like a long time off but that is a lot to accomplish in the next 9 months.
We love hearing from everyone so stay in touch!
Love Sarah and Justin Spurlock
