Obviously, life got busy again. We have this up and down cycle where it feels like there’s so much to do, then not enough.
Alex and I just returned from a lovely getaway in Lake Arrowhead, CA! We canoed, ate out, and went to all the fabulous little shops in Big Bear. We got so relaxed, that we found ourselves on the verge of boredom at the end. It was just what we needed 
I love how when you go to little mountain towns, it always kind of feels like Christmas. Even at the tail end of Summer. Every little shop you go into seems to always have Christmas-y things, it’s just my style!
On our way home, we stopped at our Alma Mater, California Baptist University, and indulged in the caf brunch that was ohhh so delicious, and missed. We even saw a few friends from college while we were there! We experience nostalgia at its finest every time we visit CBU.
We walked around and reminisced about the good ol’ days of CBU life… life in the “bubble.”
Once we got home, we were quickly slapped in the face with LIFE! Actually, I should really say that Alex was slapped in the face… I was still in relax mode His thesis proposal was fast approaching (it was yesterday!!) and he had homework to get done, so I decided to craft to stay out of his hair … here’s the result!

I wish I could craft more.. but there’s too much to do!
I feel like we’re in full on school/work mode now. We have this last academic year to go before Alex is finished with his Master’s degree, and honestly, we don’t know what’s coming next! There are many roads we can take once he’s finished which can be a stressful reality sometimes. But we have accepted that God will provide the clarity we need to make the right decision when the time comes. Perhaps he’ll just close every door except the one we should walk through!
Not knowing the future is something that freaks us both out – we’ve never liked it. I can honestly say it’s one of the things that we have shared in common since we’ve known each other. I think with time, we are getting better at putting our faith in the Lord and his ability to take us where we are supposed to go. We’re definitely learning that stressing about it gets us nowhere and that energy is MUCH better used somewhere else.
It feels like a long time to say we have the whole “Academic YEAR” but in reality, we have about 7 months before graduation! WOW! Life moves quickly, people!
Today I am thankful for my hubby, our families and their good health, our kitten, the roof over our heads, the food in our fridge, the jobs we have, and our life group! Which meets at our place tonight It’s been so enjoyable to fellowship with other young married couples once a week. If any of you are reading this, you are a blessing to us!!
