Its obvious that updating our blog hasn't been high on our list of priorities for the past 5 months or so, but we aren't trying to hide anything...just busy.
Our summer has been full of blessings, learning, bike riding, weddings, visiting friends and spending a lot of time together. We both worked more over the summer, since we had less classes with our internship, but made sure that we both had 3 day weekends and could do some traveling.
We did our first camping trip on the motorcycle- the rack suffered a bit with so much weight on it, Daryl got 9 ticks and it was pretty hot, but overall a good experience and a fun ride. We also rode the bike to MI for a friend's wedding. Six hours on the bike proved to be a little bit much. We may not try that again, or maybe we'll get softer seats.
More recently, we've been started up regular internship classes again, and preparing for the classes we'll be teaching in a few weeks. It seems to be the process of learning how to teach that is a challenge. It seems too that teaching is the best way to learn, and we have both come across things we wouldn't have unless we were intentionally looking for them.
Balancing Internship, work and home has been challenging, especially for Jodi. This is proving to be an opportunity to let go and trust God to help us see our time the way He sees it. Its hard to say no, but sometimes it gets to be hard to say yes. We want to be constantly surrendering ourselves to Him in this.
We're looking forward to a break in PA visiting family in a couple weeks. Daryl has been working on some songs, maybe he'll have a full album soon.
