A new season is in the air..I can feel it

I am starting to think that normal is what you make it. Rachel and I joke some times about "when are things or life gonna be back to normal" but I really don't think we have set ourselves up for the typical normal lifestyle, and I think we are really ok with that. But having said that, we do feel that things are settling into a nice rhythm now. All of our roomates were home for the first time together last night! Barrett and Kristin are leaving again for a few more weeks, but its basically like they are here. Job possibilities are starting to come to fruition and we have been connecting with more people at Vox. Yesterday I made a quick list of things that I wanted to focus on this fall so that I had some goals and whatnot, and hopefully come Christmas time I can look back and see if I stuck with any of it. And as dorky as it sounds I am pretty stoked about some football :).... Also a quick side note, I feel very fortunate to have gotten to know my friend Evan for the past few months. He just left for Afghanistan for a few years to follow Jesus and serve. Very few people have effected me in such a short period of time like he has, you can follow his journey on his blog.

I am so blessed, I pray that I realize that everyday and celebrate it in thanks and gratitude, and share it with others.
