wow, it's been a while

Sorry for the lack of blogs lately. Things have been crazy. I've been taking a Spanish 101 class at a local community college this summer. It's a 15 week class crammed into 5, so as you can imagine, I haven't had much of a life the past few weeks. At least Wednesday is my last class, and I can take it easy for a while until the fall semester starts.

I know I mention this every blog, but Sarah & I (how's that for proper grammar dad?) are excited for the move to Rochester in December. It's coming up fast. I can't wait to be back home, back east, near my family, and be in the midst of a place with such deep, rich history. The heat in Phoenix right now is just unbearable, and I don't care what people say, I'd rather take 80 degrees & humid than 115 and dry. It's so hot that I haven't been smoking my pipe at all lately. Or drinking much coffee. Just the obligatory cup in the morning. Sarah's gonna try to go up to Rochester in November for a short interview with a hospital up there. So be praying for that. Also be praying that God would give us direction for my schooling up there. I've gotta decide which school is best, and it's a tough choice.

As I look at the next few months left in AZ, I know I want to savor every moment & friendship here. I hate being so busy and tired that I don't have time or energy for hanging out. Regardless, I just want to soak everything in and just be a blessing to people while we're still here.
