Thankful Thursday Summer Edition



Enjoying the simple things of summer today. Reminiscing about all the fun things that have left their fingerprint on our hearts this summer!

Pool days- the joy of apartment living includes a wonderful pool that most mornings is empty and it feels just like a private pool!

Sleeping in- who doesn't love this part of summer vacation?!

Camps- We were able to do Camp Maranatha as a family serving together in different roles and then Faith got to go away by herself for a week back to Maranatha as a camper with all her friends!

Late night with friends- We have enjoyed many wonderful nights & days hanging out with Ken, Teresa, Hannah and Josh Roeloffs' this summer... we've lived up our last summer in Lincoln with them!

Travels- we had road trips to Crete, Bellevue, Omaha, KC (a few times!), Springfield, boys went to CO, overall it's been a full summer of little trips!

Thankful for our summer time fun, all the things done and all the things not done... because it is the little daily joys that make up life... the small moments of laughter with family and time with friends both old and new, our last summer in the States for awhile was really wonderful! How grateful I am that Michael has been able to concentrate on fundraising full time and that we've had time to go through a lot of our things and pair down! It's awesome to think that this time next year we will have been in Italy for 2 months.... wonder what our summer will be like next year?
