I'm sure many of you are wondering what a place like South Carolina looks like. Well, let me tell you, it's NOTHING like Utah. There are no mountains, a ton of trees, and you can't find any place to drive to the top of a ridge and look out over the city. As of right now, I still have very few pictures of the area but you can guarantee that the first ones I post will have a lot of green in them. This one (although it looks like the beautiful Atlantic Ocean to the untrained eye) is a picture of Lake Murray. We have been here once on a Saturday adventure and will be returning this week for a YM/YW activity. Ah, the perks of working with the youth of the church! Anyways...more to come at a later date.

Quick Update of our Crazy LIves

Okay, if you look at the dates of my two posts, it's obvious that my first one was truthful. Here we go again.
Our current life in a nutshell:
1. Our biggest and best news is that Brent has officially been accepted into the Athletic Training program at the University of South Carolina!!! He also just found out that he will be working with the football team for his fall semester rotation. That means that he'll be on the sideline of all the big SEC football games while I hang out in the stands alone... :) It is an incredible opportunity for him and we're both thrilled!
2. We both have new callings in church now. Brent is the secretary of the Young Men, and the assistant Scout Master. I am the 2nd counselor in the Young Women. We both still hold our callings as temple patrons. Brent just spoke in church a couple weeks ago, and now it's my turn. I'll be talking on July 27th about "Balance in our lives" (haha...as if I know anything about that right now...my life is anything BUT balanced!).
3. Brent is working full time for a water damage company this summer, and we enjoy having the little extra income. I am teaching summer school and coaching the high school volleyball team throughout the summer. I will also be working with the other Deaf Educators in my district to develop an extended life skills curriculum for the deaf students in our district. We plan on publishing it and taking it world wide so that it benefits deaf children everywhere!
4. We have made some incredible friends here in South Carolina, and have even started to get accustomed to all the differences here. This is a great place, and we're so happy here! But, nothing can pull our roots from the west, and we hope to get back there permanently someday soon!
