I always have this lovely vision of summer in my head right as spring semester starts wrapping up. I think about all the time I will spend reading by the pool, the freedom of having afternoons off, the glorious, carefree lifestyle I will lead, and how much time I will have to devote to blogging.
And yet. I haven't posted since the beginning of May. Not once have I posted since spring semester ended. And I'm sorry. I really am. But that vision of summer is not even close to accurate. The only thing different about summer for me is that it is deathly hot! And my life has been beyond crazy. I wish I could tell you all about it, but it would take way too long for one post. And you would get bored. So I'll just give you the highlights.
I had family issues. Big time. And I was consumed with worry to the point of developing various health issues.
And the health issues continued all summer, ranging from infections, allergic reactions, and crazy skin conditions. At the moment I'm on two months of antibiotics for some random dermatitis on my face.
We vacationed! Twice! We went on a Bahamas cruise for our 3-year anniversary and we spent just last week on St. George Island in the Gulf at a beach house with Scott's family. It was WONDERFUL, and just the get-away that I needed from this crazy summer! I don't have any of our St George pictures uploaded yet, but I will now inundate you with pictures from the cruise! :) Gotta have pictures in every post, right??!?

We're buying a house! And boy, has that been a ride! We were supposed to close today, but it has been pushed back another week. Hopefully by this time next week we'll be calling ourselves homeowners! This story I want to tell in more detail in another post. It has been such a stressful thing, but I think it's a great testament to God's work in our lives. And I'm looking forward to documenting it more fully.
My internship for the fall fell through. Yesterday. I was freaking out because the deadline to secure a site was April! Fortunately the internship coordinator had mercy on me and is allowing me to change sites. Thankfully I have already secured a new internship in Career Services at Georgia Southern. I'm super pumped! Thank you, Jesus! :)
We sold our motorcycle and one of our cars! Selling the car was amazingly easy. Within two days of posting it online, we found someone who really needed it, who happened to be a Christian, and who was willing to pay and complete the sale at first sight! Selling the motorcycle was a logistical nightmare because it was technically in Scott's dad's name. But we managed to get it worked out, finally! Now we have the funds for the down payment on our house and the down payment on a new car. Hooray!
And of course, we're in the process of trying to move. Packing, packing, packing!
Well, friends, I hope this is a sufficient update for the time being. As I said, I want to expand on some of these things, but not all in one post. But I did want you to know that I'm alive, and I've been sort of keeping up with your blogs. I may go a few weeks without reading, but I try to go back and catch up when I can. I'm so excited about all the engagements and pregnancies I'm reading about! Even though I may not have personal relationships with you all, I'm SUPER excited and happy for you! :)
Until next time...which hopefully won't be too far off!
