So, here
goes nothing. I am starting a blog. I still can't believe I am doing this, and I can't believe you are reading this! My intention is for my family and friends to be able keep up
with my crazy- ever-changing life as I start this new chapter. Some of them live allll the way in Texas! Here is just a little of what is going on lately in my life.Oh sweet summer
time. Yeah, that time when as a teacher you relax and get ready for the next
year , HA! Summer 2012 has been a crazy one. My husband is the Pastor of a church in
Roanoke (check out his awesome blog, I will add the link) Anyways, so we
decided to move. I will admit, I was not crazy about the idea. I mean I was
comfortable. I love the house we currently rent, I love living close to my
parents and best friends, and I love/loved my job. I love being comfortable,
don’t you? More than I love being comfy,
I love the Lord and my husband. So (eventually) I embraced this move with all that is in me
and I was able to witness the Lord move in crazy miraculous ways. I mean, I got
a job teaching elementary (which I adore) annnddd an extra job working at a gym
babysitting little kiddos with my best
friend. That would happen to be the same gym where my husband and I will get to
work out for free (oh yes). I guess when we take a leap of faith God shows up
BIG time. That is ever so evident in my life. Always. You see, although the
move means a new house and a new job for me..I know God’s ways are wayyy better
than mine. Proof? I am excited to say
that we bought the most adorable house.
I am stoked to show you how we spruce it up, there will of course be
lots of pictures! Plus those two new jobs (I am reealllyyy going to miss my old
one) because I worked with some of the most amazing people on the face of the
planet. But I am excited about this new job too. I am have the pleasure of
being an elementary special education teacher to the most precious 8 kids that
I have been praying for since last month when I found out I could possibly be
their teacher. I also think I am going to be able to be a better “pastors wife”
because I am still really trying to learn that one. Pray for me.
On a totally different note, the picture is from the beach trip we just finished. Did I mention we have been in our own house eleven nights this summer, Yeah…that’s because we have been super fun DINKS living up the summer!
