One month and counting...

Well, with our anticipated moving date of August 2, arriving in MI on Aug. 4 we are officially one month away from moving/arriving. I would describe this time as...indescribable. June was absurdly busy, but with all very good things, and July is not looking any less busy. My guess is that August and the rest of the year are just going to keep up this pace, but I'm truly hoping that once classes start our lives will settle into a routine that gives us a chance to breath. 

June included a trip with our middle school students to the Bierma Cabin, another trip for Brad and Cora to the cabin to help Dad with some work being done there, a visit from our friends from CA, Joel and RaNelle, followed by a visit from my brother and sister-in-law, Mike and Rachel, and their kids Gideon and Anneke, followed by a reunion in Las Vegas for me with Rachel and 2 of our other friends from college, Maygann and Whitney. A few days later Brad and I were able to enjoy a couple days to ourselves for our anniversary (#9) coming up in a couple days.

So, you can see, all good and wonderful things! June was fabulous and I wish every month was so much fun...and I wish I had the energy to enjoy such a pace of life all the time. I'd definitely need to increase my coffee intake!

We have not had any offers on our house so we are planning to prepare it for renters and praying that God will bless this effort. It's a little stressful if I think about it too much. So I try not to!

We are trucking along, here. Brad leaves soon for his annual service trip with the high school students. My mom will be flying in to the spend with the week with us so the kids and I are looking forward to that time, rather than just dreading missing Brad for so long!
