It has been far too long since we have blogged, so I will give you an update on the settling
process.
Jon and I are "in" our home, and it is close to being finished - we still just have to hang a few pictures and the curtains. It is
soooo much smaller than our first home, so
unpacking was a chore just trying to
get everything to fit. We ended up leaving a lot of things packed for the next move - we are no anxious for that at all! We love the area we live in. We actually walked to dinner the other night, and have walked to the grocery store! We live close to our jobs, to my parents, and to lots of shops and restaurants - which is fun!
On the job front - Jon started Monday at
Highview, and is still aching to get started!
The first week has been a lot of meetings, a lot of prep work, and a lot of ordering
equipment, and once the
equipment gets in he will probably be busier than we anticipate. I have also found a job here in Louisville, which I started on Monday. God has had his hand in our move so much I cannot even explain it all, but here is the short version... I was riding around
Thursday looking for a job when I got a call from the
Southern Baptist Seminary saying that a friend, Dan Dewitt, had
recommended me for a job as "Concierge" to the new welcome center called the "
Sesquicentennial Pavilion". I went in to interview Friday, and then for a second interview Monday. They called Monday night and offered me the job, and asked me to start on Tuesday. Needless to say it all happened very fast, but the job is fantastic, and I love it! Plus the benefits are amazing - Jon will get to go to school at Boyce for free, and I will probably start my Master's degree - very slowly- for free!
We miss
Fort Myers so much, our Family and friends, and church, but
God continues to show himself faithful in more ways than I can type :) We are
so glad to be
following His plan!
I will post pictures as soon as I can find my camera charger (or buy a new one)!
To celebrate our one year anniversary, Which is UNBELIEVABLY on May 16th (I just cannot believe it has happened so quickly), Jon and I will be spending a weekend in Chicago. We will actually be going the weekend following our anniversary because there is a convention happening in Chicago, for what we are unsure, but it has made it quite difficult to acquire a hotel room that is affordable, but none the less we are excited! We will be staying at "The W Hotel Lakeshore" and while we are there we will be seeing "Legally Blonde" the musical, on Broadway while we are there. We are very much looking forward to our trip. If any of you have suggestions of restaurants, or sights to see while we are there let us know!
