Sweet Summertime...Crazy Summertime

So summer has officially begun in my little world. Austin & I are working together this summer as interns at our church. We have approximately 15 sports and activities camps that we are overseeing, along with various other odd jobs around the church that the pastor assigns to us. Don't worry, we're not leading all of those camps. There are church members who have donated their time to serve the kids in the neighborhood that need something to keep them occupied. It's going to be an exciting summer and I can't wait to see what God is going to do in and through our church!

At home, things are looking up. We're all still processing Poppy's passing and dealing with it in our own ways. It still seems strange to think about him not being there when I go see Granny. Granny came to our church this past Sunday and even our pastor said it was strange to see her sitting in the back and him not sitting next to her. She's having to deal with "customer service" people now and it's pretty obvious she hasn't done that in quite some time. It's almost entertaining to hear her fuss at the people on the other end of the phone line. Then I think about how often those people have to deal with frustrated customers and I almost feel bad for them.

Herman returns from China in 13 days! I'm starting to get excited. The other day I was thinking about it and there's definitely going to be an adjustment period once he arrives. He's been away for almost 7 months now and I've adjusted to his absence. Having him around will be great, but there will probably be a few extra struggles at first. None the less, I'm anxiously awaiting his return and I can't wait to give him a giant bear hug and a big ol' kiss!
