Our Future Home

This will be our new home very soon {June 2nd}. We are renting this one bedroom house next to the park. It is really small and needs a little fixing up, but it's in a great location for a great price.

{and we're glad to get out of apartments}

A Year Gone By

The Ballots Are In

We are in Gold Beach again. Last night {Saturday} we went to an event with the youth group. It was really fun and there were a lot more students than were expected. Today {Sunday} we had a brunch before church to introduce ourselves to the congregation and Anthony answered questions. They voted this evening for whether they want Anthony as the youth pastor or not. They want him!

In the name of the Father & the Son & the Holy Spirit

I am getting baptized next Sunday...

Teacher! Teacher! Will I ever be teacher?

It’s very likely that Anthony and I will be moving to Gold Beach here in the near future, so I have been applying for teaching jobs in the area… and let me tell you there aren’t many {but there really aren’t many anywhere}. I have already been rejected for a district ESL position and await to hear about a 2^nd grade teaching position. I have had some luck with middle school though.

Walking with Maria

This is my friend Maria. We were on an RA team together two years ago and then roommates last year. And now I substitute teach at the school where she teaches!

I recently started walking with her. It is great! Not just because of the health benefits, but I also get to spend time with a good friend. It is perfect for us… since we aren’t jogging, we can actually talk and catch up on life. Sadly I won’t be able to go on walks with Maria anymore after I move, but I think I'll keep it up anyways. It's easy and healthy!

Graduation

 I am feeling so blessed with wonderful family and friends who have supported my journey through college and all of my life. I love seeing my family and enjoy spending time with them... even if they're a little crazy. Lately I have been able to spend more time with them because of graduation. 

Also... I AM SO HAPPY that my husband is finally done!!!!

Listening

Ecclesiastes 5:1-2

Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.


Do not be quick with your mouth,

   do not be hasty in your heart
   to utter anything before God.
God is in heaven
   and you are on earth,
   so let your words be few.
