I have been remiss in getting this post up since it's been a week since the shower. I had hoped to have a picture or two to share, but alas not at this moment. I had a fantastic time getting to see old friends and run around to old haunts.
Friday was mostly spent with me just reliving old memories and enjoying town after getting in. Saturday was the shower. There were about 13 attendees. We enjoyed salad, pizza and cake at DaVinci's in Frankenmuth. It was wonderful to catch up with many of the people while the party went on. We got a wonderful array of gifts, some from our registries and some not. That evening was spent with more friends, food and fun. Sunday I ran a few more errands and then meandered my way back to the Detroit area. Due to some confusion, I was able to meet Zak to give him his vest, but not spend time with him catching up.

All in all a good, if short, trip back to the homeland. Upon my return, I officially started my new job. This last week was fairly slow, as I expect many of them to be. However, it has been enjoyable and I look forward to many more to come.
Well, I finally got a new job. It was a crazy turn of event that lead to where I am now. Leaving Artist Boat was quite a leap of faith back in June. I was fortunate enough that there was a spot for me with Sea Camp again this summer. Beyond that I really was unsure about where I was headed. I through my name out there for so many jobs, and so many different ones, that I thought surely something would come up. And it did!
I am now the Director of Youth and Children's Ministries at my home church in Galveston. It is a position that I am super excited about and look forward to a new journey. While it certainly isn't the highest paying job I could have gotten, I think that it will over all be the most rewarding.
In other news, we have accepted an offer on the house and we are currently waiting for all the legalities to be followed. I'm hoping that it's off our hands by the end of this month. The first wedding shower is next weekend and I'm excited about getting to go back home. Also, we are beginning to make solid plans for the honeymoon. Life is good!
