Next Adventure - Michigan

Well we have arrived safely in Michigan. We have gotten settled into our seminary housing apartment with donated furniture, and have begun the job search. Oh the joys of job hunting when you can only work for 3 months before you move again. How do you explain that?

We are enjoying reconnecting after an insane summer...might I even go so far as to say we have experienced a wee bit of boredom? Thank the Lord for LOST episodes on DVD. We have already made it through the first two discs of season one. It's funny - today I realized that Aaron and I have only talked to each other this past week besides the occasional phone call home and the times of ordering coffee. We have not had any significant conversations with anyone in person besides each other. (I have to admit that I don't really mind...although by next week I may be more ready for real life interaction!) Although it's a bit hard to be here, we know that the next few months are big for us as we seek the Lord and discern the next phase of life.

Lesson #1 from Michigan so far...don't forget sunscreen when you go to Lake Michigan and sit on the beach for over 3 hours AND try not to fall asleep so that one side of your body is significantly more red than the other.
