My Trinity woman's Bible study has now ended for the summer until I begin mine in the fall. To end the year's session, we had a BBQ at Trinity, where we also brought our husbands! I was so excited to finally BBQ, as I've been smelling our neighbors wonderful grilling. I was also happy for Jon to meet the women I have been with this last semester and get some "boy" time with the other husbands as well. We arrived, but unfortunately it started raining soon after we began to eat. We pressed on continuing to eat our burgers, brats, salads and chips, even as the drizzle became heavier. But, as it drug on, enough was enough and we went inside to one of the couple's apartments. We were only planning on staying a little while longer, but ended up talking with the others for another two hours! It was so wonderful to have fellowship with other seminarians and their spouses. There was also a woman from Korea who came to the dinner. She is learning more English as she tries to apply for Trinity. I was able to talk to her for awhile about Korea; it was nice to reminisce as well as welcome a new person to our country. But, both Jon and I spent time with a lot of nice couples and had a wonderful time! We look forward to getting together with some of the couples we met this summer.
The last two weeks, I have been blessed to have Jon home all day and all night while he has a break from school. Although, he is getting tired of being "stuck" at home so much, I love it! He has the days to study up on Greek as well as get started with his second theology class, oh and doing some cleaning around the house (thanks babe!). I love coming home to Jon and Molly greeting me and then having the whole night to be with my boy. For the last five months, it has been a wonderful greeting, but usually back to studying for a good part of the night. So, as you can imagine, I am very thankful for this break to get to spend some extra time together. Although I love my job, I definitely look forward to leaving and going home. I better cherish this time before he starts school in another week. He will have a pretty busy summer, especially towards the end where he will be taking two semesters of Greek crammed into one month...fun. I sure am thankful that he is the one taking the class and not me; he is very good at languages and will do well with Greek. I look forward to seeing him grow as he did throughout this semester.
Thank you for your patience in my lack of blog posts; I hope to write more frequently!

I'm so glad you two had time to connect with some other seminary couples. It would be so neat to make lifelong friends while you're there. I know Jon's grandpa and aunt made lifelong friends when they went to seminary. Good luck with the Greek, Jonathon!!!
