S is for Steve & Laura's Super Summer

Summer officially started for Laura and me yesterday with my last test out of the way. Hurray! Laura decided to begin the summer with a trip to Salt Lake City for a friend's wedding while I began the summer with a trip to the library and the purchase of a textbook for my summer course in three weeks (yeah, I really know how to live the life). So, in the spirit of summer, I wanted to let everyone know our summer goals & wishes! Laura may be forced to add some things to this list later (since I am doing it without her knowledge or permission):


STEVE & LAURA'S TOP TEN SUMMER GOALS/PLANS/WISHES/ASPIRATIONS:

1) Get more exercise than during the semester (because San Francisco is the most beautiful summer city around), including several expeditions in the area such as (but hopefully not limited to) hikes at Muir Woods and Muir Beach



2) Read books that don't have anything to do with class. This must break down into sub-wishes because I (Steve) already have my summer reading plans:

           2a) Read Daniel (my ambition neighbor who is super cool and writes like a champ) & Mike Blackaby's, When Worlds Collide
          
           2b) Read as many Charles Spurgeon sermons as possible

           2c) Read Francis Schaeffer's apologetics trilogy (this guy is awesome, btw)



3) Memorize at least one book of the Bible

4) Go to Salt Lake (Laura), L.A. (Laura), Mississippi, and Seattle. While there, see as many friends and family as possible.

5) Do some preaching (Steve...cuz Laura's a girl....just kidding...but seriously...)

6) Plan/lead the coolest VBS @ SFMBC ever (Laura)

7) Make a good grade in a Christian Ethics summer course

8) Plan something cool for our anniversary (we are open to suggestions for cool things within California)

9) Look more like this guy...


10) Hang out with neighbors and friends at GGBTS


There you go! We will keep you folks updated throughout the summer (since we have more time to blog)! Most of our blogs this summer will be about these things (hopefully). A couple of these are already in the works, so I am excited. I will continue a preaching series on Ruth next week @ SFMBC & Laura is in Salt Lake already. Let the summer roll!

Thank you all for prayer and support!

Love,
Steve and Laura

    I didn't see relax, get some much needed peace and quiet, or learn to cook for my lovely wife on there. LOL

    Salt Lake City is my hometown! It is beautiful. The mountains are gorgeous! Go see Park City, that is a must. Temple Square is really nice. See the statue of Jesus in the visitors center. It is really awesome. If you have time, the Kennecott Copper Mine in the Oquirrh Mountains. It is the largest open pit mine in the world. It is humbling to see something so huge. Then when you leave Copperton the view of the Salt Lake Valley is spectacular!! Have fun! I miss it everyday! Love to you both. Have a safe trip! Love, Julie Viger
