and 5 months later...

Where has time gone?! My last post was about winter ending and now, here we are, entering in my second Michigan winter! The summer is so busy here, everyone just wants to be out soaking in the glorious weather and greenery. So, let me give you some bland updates- month to month.

June- Moved into a 3bdrm home with two friends that i met from church.
July- took a trip to the U.P to see the amazing sleeping bear dunes and became a Tigers fans!
August- Hosted our housewarming party! burgers, dogs and Rita's... followed by some friendly games. Went to my first Tigers game... and we won!
September- Went back to my roots; Texas to celebrate a wedding, see family and ventured on a grayhound bus! Also, I was lucky enough to see the comedian Dane Cook, live at the, amazing fox theater!
October- Awaiting the arrival of Samuel Lee ( Jonas' baby brother), who is due any second now.

That is just the least of what has been going on up North. I am still,absolutely, in love with this State and will bitterly-sweet say that I would stay in Michigan forever- if it were up to me. I will urge each person reading this to take that step of obedience with Christ and follow him into the unknown. Literally a year ago today, I sat in my room, in Austin Texas, fearful to where God called me to. " why would he ever want me in Detroit?" I was leaving behind my family and dear friends to one of the most " dangerous" cities in the U.S. Everyone thought i was crazy... I even thought I was crazy. God knew exactly what he was calling me to- calling me to my happiness, His desires. I can not imagine my life without Michigan. I always miss Texas (not the heat), especially family and friends- but, Jesus makes that pain go away! now, on a more important note... Go Tigers! plllease make it to the series!

Until next time
Shalom
