What's new with our crew?

Well, I am super excited to report that I have my first interview tomorrow! It's going to be at 2 eastern time. At first, I was worried about getting there on time because I have class in Auburn from 9:45-11:15. After talking to my prof, everything is going to work out fine (as long as there is not a traffic jam some where in between Auburn and Conyers). Anyway, the school is called Victory Christian School. I think they have a website if you want to Google it and check it out. It's pretty small, but I am really excited about it. There's only one thing that I was not expecting and that is that I am going to be in a 4th or 5th grade class. My degree is for 7-12 grade English only. So, if I get this job, it's going to be an adjustment, but I am ready for it. It's a grade that I had never thought about teaching before but I am up for the adventure! I will let you know how everything goes.

Also, I AM going to be participating in the graduation ceremony at Auburn. It's going to be August 9, 2008 at 2pm in the coliseum. But, if you can't make it, don't worry. We are going to be having lunch after church the next day in Mobile to celebrate. I thought that this would allow people who couldn't travel that far the opportunity to celebrate with us. As soon as I figure out exactly where and what time, I will post that too.

Chris is still doing great things at his new job. The biggest struggle we are having right now is being apart so much. I told him the other day that I don't even feel like we are married right now, just that we are having an affair or something. We just get to see each other on the weekends and even then our time is limited and rushed with everything we try to squeeze into 48 hours. We are trying to be supportive of each other and keep up with each others lives, but I just hate that he is missing the little things in my life and that I don't get to do the normal things for him that I am used to doing. I know I complained about having to cook dinner every night, but at least I get to cook for 2 when I am with him. This cooking for one thing is hard! Nothing comes in servings for one :) Anyway, enough being a cry baby. Next weekend Ryan and Emily are coming up and the next weekend I am moving EVERYTHING to Covington and living with my husband again. Then I have graduation the next weekend. So, with graduation being 3 weeks away - the only thing standing in my way is a 10 page paper, two 6 page papers, and 3 final exams! I guess I better get started on those papers!!

Love you!!

Fourth of July

We had the best time in Gatlinburg! I think we both were in serious need of a vacation together...I just wish that all the other billion people that came to the mountains for the fourth would have stayed home. The traffic was awful, but we did spend alot of time at the cabin, hiding from it. We went to the Aquarium and rode the Sky Lift. The view was awesome - and I mean the God way. The awe that I felt when looking at those mountains made me realize that a God that could craft those mountains has NO problem taking care of me and my simple problems. I know that you grow and learn when you are in the valleys of life, but it's sure refreshing to stand on the mountain top and see the big picture.

We did it!! We're moved in!

Here is a video of move in day and packing up the Auburn apartment:

We moved into the new place six months to the day from the wedding. It is so exciting to be in our own place. We both are taking so much pride in it. I almost fell on the floor laughing when Chris suggested a chore list. It was too cute...the best part is that cleaning it isnt a chore for us. We are glad to do it because it's something we are having to work to keep.
