Let me take a moment to say...

I confess I have been terribly remiss in keeping up with this blog as of late. This world is full of cycles, and my life is no different. I find myself in a busy state now, but I know that the eye of the storm is approaching quickly. So, I will try to update, recap, and point toward the future in this moment of unusual pause.

Reid and I moved to a new apartment this last weekend. This was accomplished with the amazing help of our friends here! They were a huge help and blessing to us! I feel as though we would have been moving for the next year if if weren't for their selfless giving, sacrifice of their time and energy, and many hands. We have truly found kind hearts here, and I feel secure in saying we are very much living in God's Providence.

Today has been another turning point as well--seeing as it was my last day at work. It is a bitter-sweet transition. I will miss baby Zac, as I have come to care deeply about him. And yet I am very much ready to move on to other things. And while I am at times tempted to fret over not having another job lined up, I need only remember the many ways God has already been faithful to me. How then could I worry? He will not fail to take care of my needs, and he already knows the desires of my heart.

Well, that catches us up to the moment, but what of the future? Well, my parents are coming to visit us this next week! We are very excited to have them come--show them our little corner of the world. And then Reid leaves on the 1st for Pixar in California (God is amazing!), to be away for three months. I know that while my mind knows this to be true, it has yet to penetrate into my heart.

And yet, I will not be alone this summer, in more ways than one. While I know I am never alone, I have also learned the importance of companionship. So I am having a wonderful friend as a roommate for the summer. She and I shall enjoy being 'just the girls' and are planning lots of fun together!

I think that is all for now. More to come in the future.
