So glad you guys made it home safely. We’ve been praying for you with all your travels. Congrats on passing the oral comprehensive exam! Hope you are able to get settled back into your apartment quickly. Good luck finding room for all those groceries! 🙂
Glad you are safely home in your own little nest… our prayers have been with you all week, knowing that you must be traveling. Congratulations to Amy for passing the oral exam and finishing the 9 hours of classes. Great!

Been looking for an update post! It has been a busy two months for you all. So glad everything went well and that you are safely back home! The groceries from your Grandma is great! That’s a blessing and that much less shopping you have to do.
It was so great to visit with you guys while you were here! I’m so glad your classes went well, Amy, and that you’re done now (at least with the class part)! I’m sure you’re so happy to be home after all that time away, and we’ll be praying for you both as school starts up again.
So glad you’re back in your own place and on your own schedule! Trust your time away will make it seem even more precious. And what an added plus that it is bigger than you remembered! Looking forward to an e-mail soon …
Glad for the updated post. Look forward to seeing you in a few months. Way to go on the groceries. Good luck finding storage. We struggled for about a week to find places for all of it. Love you lots, and we’re very proud of you.
I got 9 bottles of shampoo, 6 boxes of toothpaste, 4 boxes of mini muffins and about 600 paper plates while working VBS with grandma! Love that woman!
What a wonderul summary of a very profitable summer that included so many accomplishments and also a lot of fun thinngs! Love, G
