Oh, Canada!

Okay, so my blog break is officially over. I finally revamped my blog, again!  Change is good right?  I am also feeling more like myself, after the roller coaster I just went through a few months ago. Summer break is winding down, but it has been one to surely remember.  Judah has become significantly more mobile these days, as well as more vocal.  Timm is preparing to enter his third year of professional teaching in his own classroom and is about to embark on the journey of getting his Masters degree.  I am continuing to stay at home watching Judah and am ever working towards living a balanced life, so that I am able to serve my household, the church, and most importantly the Lord the best that I possibly am able.
     Needless to say, the highlight of our Summer was our fantastic trip to the northern country of North America, CANADA!  The Lord knew what He was doing when He allowed us to travel up that way.  We met some incredible people and reconnected with others who we hadn't seen in quite a while.  Over the course of two weeks, our trip included sleeping in four different locations, all being people's houses that we were friends with, so not once did we stay in a hotel.  All the locations were in different towns, but we stayed in just two provinces: New Brunswick & Prince Edward Island.  In total we drove about 30 hours hopping from each location and just driving around site seeing. Timm, Judah, & I had a blast and will never forget the memories and friends we made here this Summer.

All in all I guess you could say we had a good time ;)
