It's amazing how fast the summer went. It's really amazing how fast life seems to go these days. It makes me sad sometimes to think about the limited time that we have on this earth and how it really is just "a blink of an eye". But I know that what we have to look forward to in eternity doesn't even compare to what we have here, which is only temporary anyway. Who would choose a life here on earth with the pain and suffering when the option of living in glory with no tears exists? Not me!

We celebrated our third anniversary this summer, which was wonderful. It's hard to believe that we have known each other for six years because it seems so much longer and so much shorter all at the same time. I know we're both very thankful for each other and appreciate each other's contributions to our marriage and daily life. We also celebrated Ethan's father's 60th birthday, Ethan's younger brother's 22nd birthday after spending a week at the beach with Ethan's brothers. Summer 2008 was definitely one of memories.

Life here in Atlanta is busy for both of us. Ethan has a full-time class load this semester in addition to his full-time job. Since the door to law school closed to me this year, I have focused on working and pursuing interests I've had for a while. Right now I'm taking kettlebell classes which I love and spending a lot of time in the gym. I can safely say that I'm in the best shape I've ever been in as a result. Ethan has also started taking kettlebell classes as well. I've also had a lot of time to read and have definitely enjoyed that. My other interests are Pilates and photography, but I'll get to those things sometime later this year, maybe in early 2009. We'll see!
