As most of you know, I've started working full-time at my chiropractic office, while going to work. I'm also doing extra massages in all of my spare time, which leaves....not a whole lot. I go back and forth between moments of "BAH!!! This is INSANITY!!!!" and "This is awesome! I'm like a real live adult!" It keeps me balanced :)
But the main thing I've noticed in these last few months, is how acutely aware of each of us God really is. He gets me. More than I get me. This huge span of time has brought a whole slew of life changes for me, and I'm amazed at how exactly they were catered to my personal growth.
Most of my friends are married and the others are on their way to be. Included in this crowd is my best friend from the mission, Sharon Tidwell. It all happened so fast that I didn't even really have time to notice the change happening....just...Whamo! There it was. This summer she took a job as a counselour for EFY, an LDS summer camp. Which meant that she'd be working all day everyday for 3 months straight. As she left for this expedition the Lord oh-so-subtly scooted 2 very key people into my life- Randy Lasson, and Jared Snow (previously mentioned in my Memorial Day post). Since I've always been one of the guys I fit perfectly into their little duo, and enough fun was had to fill the BFF void.
When Sharon came back from her 3 month jaunt, she was engaged. There was a little more notice than that...but not much. :) If she didn't marry the guy, I would've wondered if something was wrong with her. Seriously wrong. He's a perfect fit for her, and I'm excited for them.
Realistically, when I look back at this summer that's all I'll remember. God working again to perfectly orchestrate people in and out of my life. I'm so grateful. So in honor of the good times of the summer, here's a Jared, Randy and Sarah moment from Halloween
P.S.
Did I mention I'm going to Italy for Christmas? :)
