Fall is Here!

You could not tell by the weather today that it is actually fall. It got up into the high 70's today, and tomorrow's high is supposed to be in the 80's. It seems that every place we move to seems to have extreme and unusual weather. In England, it was one of the coldest winters they had in years, and it actually snowed and stuck several times. In Grenada, it was extremely hot, and we hardly had any rain in the "rainy season" causing a drought. Now in New York, it is now fall, and the weather is getting into the 80's. I think we just bring extreme weather with us where ever we go! I can't complain too much. We still absolutely love New York. I'm not gonna let a little thing like weather give me a negative thought about New York. I know that we will have cold weather soon enough, so I'm enjoying the last few weeks of warmth. All is well here...We are really adjusting to our new way of life. I am still trying to find "the perfect job", which I'm determined does exist. I am leaving it in God's hands and trusting that he will lead me to it. I have gone on several interviews, but for one reason or another, just doesn't seem to be the right job. Cody is still in internal medicine. I have to say that he has a pretty easy schedule. He usually is at the hospital around 9:00am and home by 4:30 or 5:00pm. He doesn't work any weekends, which according to other med students wives, is very rare. He has had some nights were he comes home semi-late, but I'm very grateful to have him around!

I took Macy for a long walk today. We have our everyday, usual route that she likes to take, but I decided to change it up a bit. So we walked a good 20 minutes away from the apartment, on a street that she had never been on. I decided to see if she could find her way back home. So I told her to show me where she wanted to go. She started pulling on her leash off in a direction that she wanted to go. I was convinced that she didn't have a clue where she was going, and I wasn't even completely sure where we were at. She led me down streets that I had never even seen. Finally she turned down a street that I was familiar with, and there appeared LICH..She led us to Cody's hospital! I laughed and texted Cody to tell him. I thought it was so funny. Macy has been to LICH several times to meet Cody, but never from the route that we were on. She knows that LICH is where we meet Cody. She decided to take a break and sit on the sidewalk. Then I told her to show me where she wanted to go now. She led us to our normal route from LICH towards home, and walked all the way home. So I guess my question was answered...Macy has a better since of direction than I do :)

My parents' 27th wedding anniversary is tomorrow. I am so blessed to have parents that are married and not divorced. I do not know how people handle having split up families. I thank God everyday for my loving parents and my wonderful family!
