Seriously joking

What a great trip. We did somethings during these last two months that we will probably never get a chance to do again. I just wanted to write down some things we both learned on this trip and what God has shown us through it.

-Aaron -

1) God always provides. From the moment God spoke to us to do this trip, we have had nothing but favor. Every obstacle was over come with faith and every impossible thing that needed to be done God took care of. We had a place to live, we had jobs, we had money, we had similar schedules, we had a car, and we had the time of our lives.

2) I love my wife. She came out to the other side of the country to do a job that she knew very little about and did it wonderfully. We really enjoyed our time together so much and I have really learned to be a better husband on this trip.

3) I am going to be a good doctor. God took away a lot of fear and apprehension through this trip. I got to prove myself in a place I didn't know and I did very well. God really provided a lot of confidence to me every day I worked.

4) God has called us to Tucson. We miss our friends and our family and our church in Arizona so much. We missed the truth and hope of the Word being poured into us constantly by our church and I really missed worshipping with my bass every weekend. It was very hard to be without the friendship and the covering that we have back home and we're incredibly excited to go back.

-Charity-

1) God always provides. God provided me with a husband that fears the Lord seeks after Him and in turn will provide for me. This trip was an undeniable example, once again, that I can trust in God, and trust the husband that he gave me. Every detail of trip was covered and safe and fun and beyond anything we had hoped for.

2) Aaron is my best friend. I think it is rare in a marriage for a couple to be placed in a situation so unfamilar that it forces you to reflect on the relationship you have. I learned that I love just being with my husband. Just us, no friends nothing comfortable or familar just us. We are good together we have fun together, and we really love each other. It has been an amazing epiphany.

3) I am a good nurse. I worked in a very different hospital had a very different job description with a very different culture of collegues and patients, and I was good at it. People liked me ( they really liked me).

4) I love Tucson! I love my church I love my friends I love my job. Though I love to travel and will desperately miss our weekly trips and the excitement of big cities, Tucson is my home where my church is that I need so much and absolutely where God has called us to be.

And now for the joking. We took way too many pictures on this trip. More pictures than you should ever show one person if you want them to remain your friend. But our favorites were the ones of just random sign and places we found. So, for our last blog, here is a collection of our favorite pictures that just didn't fit anywhere else.

Dr. Lambert, you're needed.

I think "pungent" is a better word.
