The school year has started and summer is over. This summer wasn't too crazy. We took the regular trip to Martha's Vineyard and we had amazing weather. We took a trip out to Missouri to visit Nate's ailing grandfather (please keep him in your prayers) and to meet our nephew, Jonas. We had a great time. I am now officially and doctoral student and am taking a class on Administration in Higher Education this semester. Nate just got a promotion to Vice President of his company. It brings more stress but also some great new experience for him. We look forward to another nice fall in Happy Valley.
