Tappering off

Well, summer is coming to an end which means work for me (Ben's school goes year round) and UCCS again for both of us. I love summer. I love having the time and energy to do anything but come home and collapse, 3 days that are 12 hours long can be very exhausting. To sum up, I will miss the freedom of having my days. This Saturday we will be doing a Run for Rwanda, check out the website at runforrwanda.org!

Now for the update...

Ben's parents are coming next week, which we are incredibly excited for. Starting on Monday the 11th I will go back to work, the crazy part is that I have no idea if I will actually be staying at the school I am at now. If one of our kids does not come back, I have no clue where I will be. Ben has been working with Griffith Centers all summer and he needs another break. Working with kids who are super aggressive can sometimes take a toll on my man (he has a heart of gold, which does not fit his job). One of his bosses told him that he is going to have to start being more of an ass! In late August we will be begin night classes again. Ben is taking 2 classes, one of them until 10pm and I am taking 4 classes that only go until 7. We are excited to be getting to closer to freedom from school.

Our plans for after school look something like this, we would like to move up to Denver so that we can work in the "inner-city" schools and live in a setting where we can really minister to others. After we move to Denver I would like to get my Masters in Counseling (apparently being done with school means nothing in our family)! From Denver it is the desire and purpose of our hearts to take our family to Africa (probably minus Oliver) and serve there for what might be the rest of our days. So there are our updates... nothing to exciting but I really have nothing controversial to post about today : )
