The everydays

The land of the Lawrence family was starting to slow down and now it's picking back up again! Last month we traveled out of town three weekends in a row.  Time with family was wonderful: San Francisco, Phoenix, and LA! We went from moderate at home, to cold weather in San Fran, to scorching hot in Phoenix, and leveled out in LA.  We'll be glad to fall to come, with it's sweaters, backed goods, and now the start of football season!

Sun Devil football is big talk over here. While we may  not get to attend you can bet jerseys are worn and tv's are primed for the night.

 In exciting news, things are picking up with school and new (ish) jobs.  B and I are both 7 of 12 classes into our masters.  The extra difficult classes have officially begun (they actually begun two classes ago) and we are in the home stretch.  Prayers for sanity and sleep are always welcomed ;)
About two weeks ago B and I were both promoted to new jobs.  We are working at the same places, but different positions.  New, exciting challenges and changing lives!

Lately, we've been praying for this little guy:

Trenton is the 4 month son of our friends, Greg and Jill Boaz.  He was diagnosed with biliary atresia, a disease affecting his liver.  In a short amount of time, he has already spent a third of his little life in the hospital going through surgeries and tests.  We continue to pray for healing and God's hand as they go through this time. 

The next few weeks bring papers, new responsibilities, longer papers, the end of summer, papers, papers, and hopefully some good friend time.  Soon we take a break and take a mini-vacation.  Until then, we write!

Round Two!

After an almost year-long hiatus, I am going to try keeping our blog again!  Let's see if we can keep up this time :)

This past year God has been working in our jobs, our relationship, in our friendships.  Growing up is tiring.  Learning is tiring.  Did you know there is a lot of stuff to learn about being an adult? About being married? About finding out who we are?  Yup, lot's to learn.  All that to be said, we are learning what everyone older than us already knows. Amidst the learning we are sure having a blast.  Life is great and we are having a lot of fun.  Our most recent burst of fun was a trip up to San Francisco to visit B's brother, Greg.  What a vibrant city!  We visited downtown, the Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods, ate Italian food, and enjoyed cold weather.  B grew up with chilly winters, but me not so much.  So, to think about 55* August afternoons is crazy talk!

As you can tell by the scarf, sweater, and boots...it was chilly!  We are both rather fond of the chillyness that accompanies places other than Phoenix or SoCal.  Maybe we'll have to try somewhere new when our degrees are over?

Next stop?  We will be exchanging boots for tank tops as we tackle the 115* at my parents house in Phoenix.  Family two weeks in a row, pretty great.
