So, there's not a whole lot going on here for me. Well, that's not entirely true, but there's not that much of interest going on :-P
I'm moved back into Roberts for the year and classes begin tomorrow. I'm excited to see what happens this semester, I think it'll be a good one once it gets going.
As for new events and happenings, Elizabeth and I decided to help out with the youth group at our church today and will be doing that for the semester and I'm looking forward to it :-) it'll be with 6th-8th grade kids helping out where it will be needed. I think it's a chance for us to get more connected with the church as well as a chance to help both the kids as well as ourselves to grow in their walk with Christ. And also on the side, it will give us some experience with that age group when it comes to our teaching at schools. So it'll be good all around :-D
well, besides that, there's not really anything interesting. I'll try to post if anything pops up.
Until then,

It is that time of the year when the summer starts to draw to a close and I begin to look back at all that I did over the course of that 4 months. The highs, the lows, the goods, the bad and the "all-too-common" boredom.
As the past week or 2 have slipped by, I've been seeing more and more people say they can't wait for school to start back up again. I, too, have joined that group and cannot wait to see everyone again. I have had an urge to just give a few people huge hugs because I've been pretty lonely this summer. Granted, I've have Elizabeth (thought I shouldn't take her for granted) but I miss other people too.
It's weird, this has been one of those times in life when time seems to completely drag and every day feels like it will never end and then it's time for the next one. But now that I look back at it, it absolutely FLEW by. it feels as though the summer just began 3 weeks ago, but now I'm done with work for the summer.
I must say though, I have been extremely lucky and fortunate this summer. I have been able to go out to visit Elizabeth nearly every other weekend (with a few exceptions) and being able to visit and spend time with her and her family and that has definitely helped the summer to simply fly by.
Well, it's all done and over with and I've learned a great deal and learned a lot but now I just cannot wait for school to start again and see all of those that I love and miss so dearly.
Until next time,
Phillip Andrew

Summer Update
So, this summer in a nut shell has been...interesting to say the least. I just have to say that I am so grateful for having Elizabeth by my side to support me all the way. I don't think I could have done it without her.
There actually hasn't been that much that went on this summer, mostly just work getting to me. I work 38.5 hours per week doing a great deal of the same monotonous task day after day after day...(my mom calls this a "stay in school" job) I think the biggest problem is that it doesn't feel very rewarding in the job I do. I clean carpets and wax floors. Most of the time when cleaning carpets, you can't even tell the difference in looks after cleaning them and wax, well that is a bit more rewarding because you can actually see the difference as soon as your done. I think what urks me the most is that I am doing professional level jobs (I know because I cleaned carpets professionally for a while) but yet, I get payed minimum wage.
Anyways...now that my rant is over with. I simply cannot wait for school to start up again. I need to have social contact with my friends and all those people around me. I miss it so stinking much. I cannot wait to have classes with my friends. I guess we'll see how it all turns out. 3 more weeks!!!
I know I'm getting this idea from elizabeth a little bit, but, coming from the current job I'm in, I'm realizing that I want something different. I want to do stuff. I don't know if that means travelling, or doing missions work or something completely different that I haven't even thought about yet. But I really just think I need to do something with my life besides sitting behind a desk or cleaning or whatever for the rest of my life!
For now though, I guess I need to find comfort in the fact that God has a plan for me and my life and I simply need to let Him show me the path He has set forth for me.
Until next time,
