10 days and counting...

...until Jason comes home!!!

He'll be home on May 18th from his two months trip to Morocco and Italy. It's been a very long two months. A lot has happened...I've enjoyed a lot of it, especially the time for friendships, and also the ways I've been challenged...but a lot of it has been really hard too. I'm ready for the separation to end. I'm ready for this summer of wedding planning and preparing for the future, for ministry, for marriage, for our lives in San Francisco to begin! I'm ready for a few months in the fall to be able to visit family and friends and reconnect with life outside of SF...

In a week I will fly to Southern California to visit my family, and especially the brand new member of my family, my nephew, Samuel Chase Miller.



Isn't he the cutest?
So much ahead of him...I wonder what he'll be like?? I'm excited to see what he loves to do, how random and weird his personality will be, what he'll want to do with his life...

I'm already proud of him, and all he's done so far probably is sleep and cry.

And since we're counting down to one event, I just want to let you know that it is exactly five months from Saturday until my wedding.
I have a new neighbor in my apartment building that practices playing his trumpet every afternoon. I really enjoy it...unless he's trying to compete with r&b playing loudly out on the street below us...
