The Last Day of Summer 2010

...so the autumnal equinox is tonight: September 22, 11:09 P.M. EDT.
What a day for it to rain...and have the power go out. That's the first time I've lost power since moving to Rochester, MN.


With the last day of summer, there is much for me to do in the next three seasons - autumn, winter, and spring. The good news is that most of bigger pieces have been put in place meaning that it is a matter of fitting all of the small pieces into the puzzle.



Counseling and Church
On other fronts, Thomas and I have worked through the official premarital counseling with our pastor prior to each of us finding our respective homes in MN. This August, we decided to finish a book we started a previous summer, "Love and Respect" by Eggerichs. Every Sunday when Thomas is in Rochester, we set aside time before or after church to read and discuss a chapter of the book. Upon completing L&R, "Christian Living in the Home" was suggested to us by my older brother and his wife. So, we will read that book too. Depending on how fast we progress through those publications, we might embark on the Fireproof series. Amidst our readings, we are also searching for a church that will foster spiritual growth for us as a couple and as individuals. Please pray for us as we establish a solid foundation through Jesus Christ on which to build our marriage.
