So the weather here is beginning to cool off a bit, but not as much as I'd like. Fall is the best time of year and I definately wait for some cooler weather to come our way. Josh and I have been going to the Falls Lake often and enjoying the hiking and other things tthere are to do there. Its a great shaded place to run too! THough I must say, I do miss the Greenway - I havent found anything similar here yet, though I'm sure it exists.

So an update on how things are going in the lives of Josh and Stephanie. We're under 4 weeks now!! Can you believe it! Its seems like just yesterday we startred dating. When Josh said the ohter night that it was four weeks away - it hit me, "oh my, I'm almost married!!" It hasnt seemed to close until now. My job is going well. Last night was my first night on my own, I'm no longer on orientation. So things are offical now - I'm a full-fledged nurse. Quite scary. I was quite nervous lastt night going in there knowing that I was responsible for two of these really sick kids. Oh, and if you would say a prayer for the kids on our unit. We are going through a rough spell and mnay of our kids are going downhill quickly. On in particuler, his name is Asher and he is very sick. He hasn't been given long to live. I've taken care of him a few times and he is the sweetest little child. His mom and dad are having a hard time. On another note, Josh's job is going well. He is still enjoying coaching. His team had their first race this past weekend and they did better than expected. I think now Josh expects more out of them:)

Another continued prayer request as Josh and I conintue to find a church home here in Raleigh. We are also praying for some people in our lives to help us with accountability and in growing in our relationships with the Lord. We appreciatte all your prayers and can't wait to see some of you soon. Josh and I will both be home the weekend of Oct 1 for CHris andEmily's Wedding. I am not going to be able to make it, sadly. The ladies from my parents SUnday school class planned a shower for me at the same time. But Josh will be there! I'm sure he will be glad to see you all. Please keep in touch!
