Just checking in...

Hi there...bet you wonder what's been going on the last several months. Lots of changes going on in our lives, so thought I would catch you up.

In August, Robert and I began praying that the Lord would give us a vision, a direction to begin moving. We have felt very strongly about taking our first year of marriage to just chill, get to know each other, and focus on our family, but we still wanted the Lord to show us a direction to go.

***Quick sidenote...In case you aren't married out there...I STRONGLY suggest taking this time if possible...strip your lives of as much busyness...even "Christian" busyness...it is actually Biblical...Praise God!!. Merging two lives...and in our case four...is just plain messy.

Shortly after we began praying, Robert felt like we should check out our church's new campus in Denton...awesome church...check it out http://www.thevillagechurch.net/. I was curious but didn't think much about it. The second weekend the church was open, we visited and both felt very strongly that this was where the Lord wanted us. We went back the second week and have been going there ever since.

The Lord has VERY graciously given us a joint vision in answer to our prayer. Since changing to the Denton campus, the Lord has given us the desire to move to Denton and has guided me to pursue a teaching certificate and eventually a teaching job with Denton ISD. We are currently working on fixing up our house in Lewisville and plan on putting it on the market in the next couple of months. As for the teaching certificate...I have found an on-line program and have recently begun the coursework...very exciting and somewhat scary...I am hoping to teach 4th grade...can't wait!!

Much love to all...P.S. We have a home computer now...don't know if that will help my blogging frequency...but we'll see :)
