It's been forever!

Well friends,
It's been too long! August went by in a flash and I just completed my first day back in classes for the fall semester. I'm in my third and final year at seminary and it's wonderful to see the end in sight! However, while I was on a blog hiatus I did a few fun things I thought I would share. We took my dad to the state fair for his birthday while I was home for a visit. Then, upon return to Massachusetts a friend and I took a day trip down to Newport, Rhode Island (only an hour and a half away) and enjoyed seeing the beautiful mansions from the 1600's. Finally, I am instructing a class at Gordon College with incoming freshman. I facilitate a group of 12 freshman as they work through ropes course elements and team initiatives as a way to develop in character and in their relationships with God, both together and individually. The course is right up my alley and I look forward to finishing it out by taking them camping in New Hampshire in October! I'll keep you updated! Here are a few photos that highlight the past month.


That one's for you Dad!! (mom made him put them on...I made him take the picture ;)


Who knew they had Alpaca's at the fair!


Jill and Me walking along the cliff walk with all the mansions on the sea!


My class...putting themselves in order from youngest to oldest while remaining on the log and being told they couldn't speak...they did a great job!
