We have had a really busy and fun filled summer. I can't believe the end of August is here already. Lots of house projects have gotten finished, we saw each of our a families a few times, went to a few weddings, and had a lot of fun activities! We have enjoyed having many visitors from Michigan including: Aaron and Catherine (friends from Calvin), Dave and Alyx, and my brother Bryant and Anne (his girlfriend). Also we have had time to hang out with our friends that live here in Milwaukee, we are so thankful to have made some really great friends here. We love having people over for a fire in the backyard or to play some games (like Ticket to Ride, our absolute favorite game!)!
As for the house, Alec is still finishing up painting all the exterior trim. It is a very time consuming job, and there is ALOT of trim. He also marked off where he wants to have a garden next year, he has major plans for a vegetable garden.
In other news, school starts on monday (8/31)!!!! And I have orientation this thursday and friday. I can't believe the time has finally come for me to start classes, it has seemed like this way distant event that has now finally come to the present! I am excited but mostly nervous. I have not forgotten all that being a student entails........it is going to be a ton of hard work and a huge challenge. But in the end it will all be worth it I am sure. This semester I am taking pre-nursing classes, then will apply to the nursing program in October. So please start praying that I get into the nursing program!
We are looking forward to the fall season though and all the changes it will bring!
