Summertime and the living is easy.......

Or so they say. Have not written much since coming back from retreat. So a little catch up is in order. Flew out on June 6th to spend six wonderful days in Maine, "the way life should be." Had a great time doing absoultely nothing. Spent time talking about God things and my future husband with my gracious host. Had the joy of singing in the choir Sunday and playing the postlude at the close of service. Tuesday, June 10 ( my birthday) we went to the celebration of new ministry of a friend of mine in southern New Hampshire. Had the great honor to hear Bishop Gene Robinson preach and celebrate. Yours truly was able to get several pictures taken with him! He was fabulous. He told me jokingly that I was almost certainly assurred of sainthood because I am a gay christian in SC. Oh if it were that easy. Over the course of the week I had lunch and dinner with some old friends, one of which was one of the first women priests to be ordained in the ECUSA (the Philadelphia Eleven.) Returned to SC on Thursday and drove to the hubby to be's and spent the night. Saturday we drove to WNC and spent the day with another wondeful friend. Sunday was spent at Biltmore House and Pisgah National Forest. It was a good time for HTB (hubby to be) and me. We engaged in very productive conversation about the direction we are headed in. Its all good and God is blessing. Now the next few weeks are full of preparations for the major national licensure exams I have coming up SOON. Remember me in your prayers.

Have a great week......
