Blessed John Henry Newman

“God has created me to do him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission. I may never know it in this life but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught…Therefore I will trust Him, whatever I am…He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends. He may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me—still, He knows what He is about."

I'm still alive. I promise!

I know I basically have not blogged since nearly ten months ago.

That being said, a lot has changed since last January:

In December, I graduated from Bryan (for those who didn't know). Immediately, and I do mean immediately, I moved back home. A couple of days later I drove (over night) to Maribeth's house, and spent Christmas and the end of December with her family.

Shortly after returning home, I started working for the family business. In February I bought a house across the street from my sister and brother-in-law.

I got married in April. Maribeth and I went on the most incredible honeymoon ever- in Italy!

We've had a great summer, albeit insanely hot and humid, and we're really glad for the return of highs in the 80's.

We found out about a month ago that we are going to be parents.

I'm starting my Masters of Arts degree in Religion later this month, or that's the plan.

Did I mention that it's been a busy year?

And it's not over yet...
