So it's been a while...

The Spring was full and busy...
--I was student teaching full time and taking the grad research class that goes along with it. I was first at Capitol Hill Elementary in Oklahoma City Public Schools. It was in a wonderful first grade class and loved every minute of it. I really wanted a job in that area. The second half I student taught at the Institute of Child Development on OU's campus that is part of our program. There I worked with 2-5 year olds and loved the variety, the flexibility, and the families. 
--During the job search and interviewing process, I found out about the need for a temporary Mentor teacher at OU's preschool. After praying about the new opportunity, Korey and I felt that having a job here in Norman that involves working with some really great people among other blessings would be the best thing for us this year. I'm very excited to be working there with such amazing staff and families. 
--Korey finished up his semester at Southwestern's extension at OBU. 
--Then we packed and headed to China for 6 weeks! God really blessed us with the opportunity to see what He was doing there already! We met some awesome people and hope to continue our relationships with them even though we are back in the states. I have pictures posted on facebook. 
--Korey was offered the opportunity to become staff at our church and be a part of our movement into the campus. The things that God has laid on the hearts of our church's leaders have been so biblical and true to why we are a part of that church. There was a reason God lead us to stay in Oklahoma and not move to Kentucky. I pray daily that the Lord would guide our steps and he sure is revealing some of his purpose for keeping us here.
--Korey and I have been married for two years... CRAZY!  Those two whole years we have had a roommate living in our back bedroom. This past weekend Jeff moved out :(  It is bitter-sweet. Korey and I are excited to be a married couple living alone, yet at times the house seems empty not having a good friend always hanging around. We are excited for Jeff though because he will be getting married to our great friend GinnyAnn on September 17!! I have to admit, turning that back bedroom into an office and ridding the living room of a computer desk and bookshelf has been nice. 
--I plan on trying to blog more. I am debating the phone app that will allow me to blog from it... thoughts?

Glorifying Christ as a married couple living alone...
