Summer (Posted by Josh)

     So here it is our first blog post since the turn of the new year. It's kind of been a back burner thing for us these last few months. Just to fill you in our spring has been quite a hectic one as both Casey and I have had full work schedules to deal with as well as me taking on a full set of classes. Lots of things have fallen by the wayside, (besides this blog) but now with Casey's work finally coming to a close as of last week, and me being done with classes since early May as well as switching to the summer daylight switch things are starting to settle back down into their more natural order.

     Our summer has started full force however and even with the extra time things just seem to crowd on in. Weddings, graduations, parties, relatives visiting, visiting relatives, the ever returning pile of dirty dishes, vacation Bible school at our church as well as the fun plans that the two of us have for just us all seem to have ever increasing demands for our time. It is only the second week of June and already I feel my schedule is full. The Lord has given us twenty-four hours a day however, and I assure you we are making every effort to make the most of every moment.

     So far we have already taken a trip to the beautiful finger lakes to go see Casey's aunt and uncle, as well as go to a wedding for one of her friends at the church she attended while she lived in Canandaigua. I think the trip was a nice bit of R&R for the both of us, although for Casey it was a bit of a working vacation as she agreed to use her photography skills on behalf of the bride.

     The next few weeks hold a couple of interesting events. The three most important ones are a wedding this  weekend for some of our longtime friends, the arrival for the summer missions team at Covenant Fellowship at the end of the month, and the preparations for the VBS I mentioned earlier, of which both Casey and I will be taking significant roles in; Her volunteering to run the crafts and I getting to run the games.

I can already tell it is going to be an exhausting summer but I know that it will be a blast as well. We pray and hope for the strength to accomplish everything that God has put  before us to do. We thank you for taking the time to get a small picture of where we've been these last few months and more importantly where we're going in the months to come.
