It is hard to believe June is almost over and July is on its way. Yeesh. Time flies. Jon continues to stay busy with church stuff and I am studying for my Marriage and Family Licensure exam and obtaining the rest of my clinical hours before OFFICIALLY being licensed. This journey has been so long, but the finish line is close and we are looking forward to having Fall 2013 as a huge celebration of being DONE and LICENSED!!
I have some pictures of what has been going on the past 6 months for us, and will share them on the blog here once I can download them from Jon's phone. One of the sweetest photos is from when Jon and I went to go visit a couple at the hospital who just had a baby. In the midst of me handing the baby to Jon to hold, I caught him smell the little baby's head. It was SO SWEET!! His response: "What...babies smell good." It was adorable.
Let's see. Other news around here. I have been doing a Crossfit workout at the Y the past few months and absolutely love it. I can now do more push-ups than ever in my life and feel stronger each time. Jon continues to run his miles and lift weights. We love the fact that our YMCA is part of the neighborhood we live. Also, I got on a kick of watching documentaries and watched "Forks Over Knives" and "Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Prices." Due to this fact, I now am trying to eat more of a plant-based diet and am trying to find good deals anywhere but Wal-Mart. Jon lovingly supports me. ; )
And to end this post, here is what we are reading these days:
I am currently reading "Counterfeit Gods" by Timothy Keller and Jon is reading "Deep and Wide: Creating Churches Unchurched People Love To Attend" by Andy Stanley. We'll keep you posted on our reviews of each.
Hope this finds each of you happy, healthy and loved. Let us know how we can be praying for you!

We've Made It 6 Months!!!!!
I should start this blog by apologizing for such a delay in getting this process of blogging up and running! My lack of technology skills has majorly affected this delay. But now it looks like we at least have a start! We hope to keep consistent updates on our life on this page and we hope you will follow along.
So, on June 8th 2013, Jon and I celebrated our 6 month anniversary. We excitedly high fived each other on this accomplishment and had an awesome day together. It is hard to believe that it's been 6 months already! Since the wedding, it has been non-stop go around here. We had an amazing honeymoon in Cancun at an all-inclusive resort followed by returning home to a TON of boxes to unpack in regards to merging all our stuff into one house, renting the other house, travelling for the holidays, more sorting and unpacking and donating items along with both of us working full time. Life has more recently slowed down a bit more for the both of us and we are soaking up the slower paced life. Married life has been such a blessing to us both and it is really nice to spend everyday with your best friend. We have so many dreams and hopes for our little family of 2, and we cannot wait to see what God has planned for us. We are so grateful to be surrounded by so many friends and families who love us, encourage us, pray for us and care for us.
There is so much ahead that we are excited for and we hope you will stay tuned for more updates on life with the Wrens!!
Love to you all.
