... a "good" tired

Good Morning from Indianapolis! The weather here has been really great this past week... beautiful sunny days, warm enough without being overly hot... if only we had a beach it would have been perfect - oh well!

So, we celebrated our anniversary and had a really great evening out to dinner at an amazing seafood restaurant before going to a movie and then back home to just relax and be together... (sorry folks - we forgot to take pictures). IT WAS A BLAST!!! We had a great time over dinner re-living and discussing some of our most memorable moments shared as a couple from this past year... always fun! We both left feeling totally overwhelmed by God's goodness, faithfulness and blessing in our lives - extremely grateful!

The rest of the week was spent working for Clint and Jamie finished out her "Training Shifts" at Applebees. Thursday afternoon we left and headed up to Spring Lake, MI where Clint had several meetings in preparation for our up-coming Youth Camp as well as just being able to connect and catch-up with family. Clint had the amazing privilege of re-connecting with Lex Akers who was one of his pastor's back in Australia before moving over here to the USA. Lex has been a significant mentor and influencer in Clint's life for many years now and they had a really special time of just catching up and talking about God & Life together...

Upon returning home to Indy, we found two messages waiting on our answering machine which were returned phone calls from places where Jamie applied to work... both wanting an interview. Please pray with us that we would follow God's leading and guidance through this process - that we would know where HE desires for Jamie to work...

We celebrated the 4th of July (Independence Day) with friends here at the Church finishing the evening watching fireworks together in a park downtown Zionsville and then migrated back to Brad & Jayne Bak's home (our worship & arts pastor & wife) where we set off our own fireworks... GOOD TIMES!!! Highly illegal back in Australia I understand, however I have noticed that over here people really don't understand what the Law is on fireworks - it's different in every state! One thing that is well understood is that it doesn't REALLY matter where you are, on July 4th the "Law" will turn a blind-eye... WHAT(???)

Anyway, we have both been feeling rather tired lately and Clint has actually been slightly sick (lost his voice) over the past few days. We both agree that it is probably due to exhaustion and a crazy schedule over the past month... but we both agree that it is definitely a "good" tired!
