Summer 2006... so far

Well I thought that I would send a short update to my summer thus far.
Currently I am working an intership for a dairy vet in Windthorst, Texas. I am living with a great welcoming family, Gene and Cathy Wolf that have litterally been treating me as they would there own daughter. I am having the time of my life working for Dr. Bloom palpating cows, curing LDA's, evaluating herds, doing A.I.'s, helping pull calves, practicing physical exams on Holsteins and learning and reading tons more that I could go on and on about. (but I will spare you).
I successfully completed my 2nd marathon at the beginning of June in San Diego, CA. I ran and finished with one of my classmates from SGU.( Kerri from Virginia Beach). The run went well, I can definately see a 3rd in my future.
Who would have known Elvis's were going to run the race also -->

Other than that, I visited my parents and grandparents in Midland and got to hang out with my cousins and second cousins at the Monahan San Dunes, went to visit my wonderful friends at A&M, and attended my friends Angela and Brian's wedding in Copperas Cove. I am so blessed to have such giving, humble, and loving friends. I am truely blessed! Thinking about it overwhelms me.
Life again took a sudden turn and I was reminded of how shortour lives are and can be. A classmate that I had when I was a vet student at A&M suddenly died earlier this month. Her death was and is such a testiment to the fact that God only takes the best. My vet school friends have been faced with a second death in their class in the past 4 months. Their strength in God through both experiences has been a testament to me. (and I know many many others). In fact, one of fellow former classmates responded with this: He has that much trust and security in His mind that my path in this life is guarded and led by Him no matter what or no matter how LITTLE I think I can handle.It is humbling to realize that God thinks more of me and my abilities to handle life's circumstances than I do about myself sometimes. He has that much faith in me - do I have that same level and intensity in faith in Him?
That is a question I seem to be asking myself time and time over. I've got a long way to go!
I get to visit Trey and Becki next weekend and then Marge and Sarah the next. Again...I come back to how can I not have that same level of faith in him when he has blessed me so abundantly!! Love you all!!
