around the house

it seems as though since getting back from vacation dp and i (especially me) love just hanging around at home. we love to just be home reading, chatting, and hanging around. it's not until this week/weekend that i have begun to arrange social dates. it's pretty tiring and when i get to be home i love it.

right now the apartment is in somewhat of a mess as we are trying to do odds and ends on our to-do list. tonight we're heading to a double date at my counseling supervisor's home, so that should be nice. they live in coronado so i'm interested to see how nice their place and scenary is. tomorrow we say bye to our new zealand bible study friends who are heading to hong kong and thailand. afterwards we have a fourth of july bbq at a friends' house. we'll be pretty beat after all is done but are thankful for the people in our lives!

this coming monday marks our 4th meeting for our bible study. we are reading Romans. the group is really coming along and dp and i are happy to be hosting/facilitating the meetings. the group is filled with all very lovely people. we're excited to see what God's plan is for the group members and us as leaders.

this coming wed. we will begin our volunteer work at the church helping out with the youth group. i'm excited to see how dp likes working with kiddos as this will be his first time (i believe). i'm so proud of him as he tries new things that i introduce him to. :)

work is going well for both of us. with me, i am really growing to like the kiddos (3rd and 4th graders) that i have in my classroom and i believe i'm growing onto them. i just love being with kids and it always warms my heart when they ask questions (ex. "What is happy hour????" and actions (ex. a group of 7 kids meditating in a circle with eyes closed, feet crossed, meditation pose, saying "ooommm. oooom".)

dpand i are just so thankful and blessed for all that we have.
