We have been very busy since my last post on Sunday. It was my goal to get everything switched over to Kentucky as soon as possible. On Monday morning, Matt went over to speak with his counselor at Southern Seminary, while I stayed in our apartment and searched for all the necessary information and forms for getting our lives switched over to Kentucky. Matt had a very good experience with his counselor and was able to get signed up for the correct classes with the best professors and get a book list for his classes so he can get a head start on all of his reading. One of his first classes will be Elementary Greek--this sounds like a hard class to me. Matt is excited about being able to be registered for all of his first classes now. When he came back to the apartment, we both headed over to campus security to receive our Southern Seminary ID cards. After this we headed off to the Kentucky DMV to change our California driver's licenses into Kentucky driver's licenses. The DMV was actually not a bad experience. We waited in line for about 20 minutes and the clerk who helped us was actually nice. We registered to vote, paid $20.00 each for our new driver's licenses, and headed over to have our pictures taken. After having our pictures taken, they handed us our Kentucky driver's licenses right then. It was kind of strange to receive our driver's licenses right away, but it was real nice. After the DMV we headed over to our local public library and received our Kentucky library cards. That afternoon we went and bought our new mattress. I was pretty tired of sleeping on the camping pads on the floor. It's a really nice mattress, and we got a great deal on it. Wow, we had a very full and productive Monday. Praise God for giving us the strength to accomplish all that He allowed us to do.
Tuesday was "get cars' registration, title, and plates switched over to Kentucky day." We had a little bit of trouble finding the county clerk's office in order to get everything switched over for our cars. We ended up at some kind of Muslim retreat, but there was a really nice lady who told us where to go. If she had not helped us, we might still be driving around in circles looking for the mysterious county clerk's office. Once we arrived at the county clerk's office we had to have a sheriff's inspection performed on both of our cars first. All that they check is to see that the lights, horn, tires, and windshield wipers work. After we both passed the inspection, we headed into the county clerk's office and waited for about 30 minutes to see a clerk. Once we saw the clerk, she spent about 15 minutes changing our title, registration and plates over to Kentucky for both of our cars. It was a very good experience, and once again, they handed us our license plates right away. In Kentucky, you only need to place a license plate on the back of your car. After our great experience at the county clerk's office, we headed over to St. Matthew's Mall where we purchased all of our bedding supplies for our new mattress. We also ate at an amazing place called Jason's Deli. Once again, we had a very productive day, and we constantly feel so blessed by the many blessings that God is showering on us. We serve an amazing God!
Right now, Matt just left to go to his interview with UPS at their Worldport center at the Louisville, Airport. Pray for him as he really wants to get this job. I will begin seriously looking for work next week, once I get our apartment completely settled in. Until next time, we miss you all, and we pray that God will bless you all as much as He has blessed us.
