Since returning from the beautiful land of Kauai, Hawaii we have been spending many hours a day at a Starbucks about a mile from our house. It has been interesting to see the regulars come in each day and, as Dustin says, "Wonder if they are more vulnerable with the baristas than their own families." Dustin is busy working with his professor, Terry, on a project that has allowed Dustin to write and research for several months now. He is loving it most days; other days he anxiously awaits 5 o'clock. I (Casey) will let him tell you more about it later.

We have had time on the weekends and evenings to make the house here in Garland a home. Slowly our "stuff" is filling the cabinets, shelves and walls. Something worth noting: 8 of the 12 Borders bookstores in Dallas are closing and we stumbled upon one in the last days it was open. Therefore, we now have 3 bookshelves straight from the Borders wall for our very own personal library. Our hundreds of books are feeling quite at home!

I, Casey, am still looking for work in the Dallas area. I am a frequent visitor of careerbuilder.com! We are also waiting to hear back from seminaries across the country about financial aid and scholarships before we can make a decision which will determine how long we are residents of Garland. Until then, we are setting up shop here, getting familiar with the area and learning what it means to be married!
We love you all and had such a fun wedding day, thanks to y'all!!!
The Benacs
