Prayer Request Update...

I talked to Nikki today and had some bad news she was just called with...

Her grandpa will not be able to come home like the plan because his heart rate is too low. Tomorrow, they will actually have to re-shock his heart in hope to get the rate up. She has no details and no more information about the situation tomorrow, please continue to keep him, Nikki, and the family in your prayers.





On a small side note about us lately, work has been great for the both of us. I survived the first of the month at the bank :) and Scott is starting to really get things under way on the renovations and additions and making lots of new friends out on the site.

And speaking of making new friends, Scott and I have really started to get involved with the church we have been attending. Everyone is so nice and Saturday, our Sunday School class had a dinner gathering that we went too. It was a blast! We had good food, good conversation, and really felt at home with our new friends. Then today, we attended a baby shower for one of the couples from Sunday School. It was so much fun seeing the joy and excitement on their faces as they opened the thousands of gifts...really, they got everything plus that is needed for one little human :) And please keep this couple in your prayers also. They have a neat, exciting, and stressful story with their pregnancy. This little baby girl Bella is one amazing miracle that proves only God is in control and everyone is so excited to meet her when she does finally arrive.

You can also keep us in your prayers...we are in the middle of buying a house. We have made an offer and now we are in the counter-offer stage. So soon you will either get an invite to come over for dinner or you just might end up seeing us on that HGTV show "House Hunters" :)

Well, it's on to another week of work...

Praise

I talked to Nikki yesterday and she said her grandpa is doing great. He was already drinking something besides water and was able to talk with them. Please pray for a fast recovery now. Thanks! & I will keep the updates coming as she sends them my way :)

Prayer Request

My good friend Nikki, and her family, really need prayer today. Her grandfather will be in heart surgery for 6 hrs today starting at 8am this morning. Nikki is very close with her grandparents and so I know this is unbelievably hard on her.

Thanks for praying!

House Hunters

We have decided that House Hunters needs to come to London, KY :p


For everyone who doesn't know, we are looking for a home....very exciting yet very stressful. We have been looking for quite some time now and actually made an offer Friday. Sad to say that we didn't get it but we know that it wasn't right for us. We are excited to see what God has in store for us. We are very interested in another that we just recently discovered and saw a few more cute ones today. Please be praying for us on this journey. It has been very stressful on me cuz if you know me at all, I stress more than is needed :)

We are very anxious and excited to find something and make it ours. We have been shopping here and there for decorations and what not to fill in the gaps that we didn't have with living in married housing on campus.



Scott's job is going well. They just demolished a few of the buildings and are getting ready to re-route utilities, put in foundations, & sewers to Keavy Elementary.

Tomorrow is my last day of training and then I will be an official Bank Teller. Please pray for me as I love this job, but am completely terrified I will give out way too much money or screw up something. I basically just need more confidence in myself :S


Well, on to another week...

Danielle gets HiTcHeD!

This weekend, we came home to Cincinnati for my friends wedding. Danielle and I were good friends in high school and she was able to come to my wedding and she just got hitched this saturday. It was a blast! It was great seeing her & Kevin on their special day and I was able to re-connect with some other friends from high school also. I danced the night away with Erin Alexander, Meagan Toothman, her mom & sister. It was fun to also see how much Danielle's brother has changed and grown.

~This trip home has really made me home-sick but now I can really look forward to coming, visiting, and hanging out with old friends~

Anyways, Danielle was a gorgous bride, in a stunning dress, that just smiled the whole night. Meagan Toothman, was her Maid of Honor, was also stunning & gave a beautiful toast to the happy couple. & Erin was a blast! We were able to catch up on life and dance into the night like in the old days of going to Turpin's dances :)
< oh the memories came rushing back >















Then Sunday afternoon, we went over to Carol & Andy's with mom & dad came a little later...they are always fun to hang out with. We cooked out and just sat by the pool the whole day, and thanks to Carol's obsession of Johnny Cash, we listened to him :)

All in all, it was a great weekend. Then it was back to work. I love my job, the people I work with are great and fun, the day flys by and I'm just really enjoying what I do and all the people I am meeting. I am still in my training stage, Monday will be my last day, and then Tuesday, I am on my own! :)

Weekend & 1st Day

Saturday, Scott and I went over to Scott's sisters house. We hung out, ate pizza, and played "The Game of Things" < Thank you Teresa for introducing that game to us...we love it! > and watched the UFC Fights.
I made some Dirt Pudding for a dessert...it was a big hit.








Sunday, we went to Sunday School before heading up to Lexington to hang out with the beautiful Miss Nikki. It was soooo good hanging out with her...life is always a blast with her around :)
We hung out and then went shopping...When Freddy joined us, we even went and saw Ice Age in 3-D...It was pretty awesome.




I survived my first day at the bank...but am totally lost on how to do anything :P I think I'm really going to enjoy it. Everyone was so nice and there is always something to do to keep you busy. I will be training for the next 2 weeks and then like a little baby bird, I will learn to fly on my own...little nervous but I know I'll be fine.



Tomorrow is mom's birthday, so if you see her, wish her a good one! :)

Finally Employed

I had a job "interview" today at Cumberland Valley National Bank for a Teller position. The two ladies were great and fun to talk to. I am very excited :) The hours will work out great for me and Scott. I was really worried that I would end up with a job and working a complete opposite schedule and never getting to see him. God is sooooo good. This job came by so fast and it was all of God's work. My amazing mother-in-law found out wednesday they were hiring and I had to rush to get my application and resume in before they closed. Only God was in control of the situation and even though they should have been closed, I got it in. The very next morning, I was called about an interview for today at 2. I was in there for all of 15mins and said that if my criminal check was ok then I would have the job starting Monday. They called me around 4 and said I wasnt a criminal :P So Monday morning I am off to my "Big Girl" job.



Our housing opportunities are looking good. We have our eye on 2 great homes and even though we have to wait...God is making it worth it and we are seeing the opportunity to get good deals.



Scott is still working hard. He survived his first week...he only had to be the superintendent, foreman, laborer, and everything else at one time or another...but he is loving it. I am so excited for him and to see the renovations and additions at the end of the project.


Well, thats it for now :)
