Wow- Long time, no write.
This summer has been lovely, as the title for this post suggests. I thought I'd give you a brief rundown of the places I've been, some of the people I've seen, and some of the many things I have learned.
To start off with, I flew from Zhengzhou to Seoul to San Fransisco to Dallas. Whew! Riding in the car with my Dad around Dallas brought tears to my eyes. It was such a surreal experience to be back in Texas after so long an absence. I spent a great week in Dallas before driving with Jennie back home!
I spent a week up in Dumas with Mary, Jay, Melanie, Stan and little Jaibren. Ahh, this week was so refreshing, like taking a drink of sweet tea on a hot summers day. Jaibren is the most precious little boy ever. He never stops smiling. I treasured this week of time with people who truly know my heart and soul. They surprised me with a Thanksgiving and Christmas since I missed both during my year in China!!! I can't describe ot you how much I love this family that has adopted me as their own.

After my week in Dumas, I traveled to Corpus Christi to spend time with my Grandma, Aunt, Uncle and cousins. It was a lovely and relaxing trip. I got to spend a lot of much-needed time with my family.

After this, much of my time was spent with Amy, helping her to get ready for her wedding. Going to her bridal showers was great, as I got to see so many old friends. The wedding was lovely, and I loved my dress :)

One of the best parts of this summer has been the Sundays spent at Redeemer. It has been great to hear Dusty speak, and sing with the fellowship! I am so blessed, and I'm ready to get back to my work. China, here I come... again.
