It's Spring and It's Snowing!!!

Okay, I know that this post has kind of a strange title.  But...I didn't know how else to title a post that is going to cover so many topics, so I just looked outside, saw it was snowing, and realized that last week was the first day of Spring.  It really doesn't feel that Springy with snow falling, but it is pretty.  We don't get really bad snow here, so we don't get snowed in or anything like that.  It is pretty cold here though, and I'm really looking forward to some warmer weather.  This California girl does not like these prolonged periods of very cold weather.

So, I think it goes without saying that I have been very bad on keeping up with this blog this year.  I think that I need to schedule a notification on my phone that will pop up and remind me to write a post. :)  Well, we have been pretty busy over here, but I'll try to keep this post as short as possible, so y'all don't have to be here for hours reading it.

So, let me just some up our lives since February in bullet points.

• Matt is taking a full load of 9 units here at Seminary.
• I no longer work as a preschool assistant at Christian Academy. (no I didn't get fired.) :)
• I made a career change and decided to look for positions as a nanny.
• Within 2 days of beginning my search for a nanny position I had an interview (Praise God!)
• I was hired as a full-time nanny the same week that I began looking for a position.
• My salary for being a nanny is double what I was making at Christian Academy.
• Matt is now required to work mandatory overtime at his job.
• This mandatory overtime is a blessing because we are doing our best to get out of debt.
• We are doing are best to find creative ways to spend time with each other.
• We will be moving out of Fuller Apartments.
• We will move into Springdale Apartments on April 3rd.
• These apartments are on campus and a lot bigger than what we're in now.  
• Matt will be preaching full-time at a small rural church in Turners Station, KY beginning this summer.  
• God is so good, and He is blessing us in so many ways!!!

Okay, so that's what's been going on with us in a nut shell.  Now, I know that if you're all like me, you would rather see pictures than read a bunch of words, so here are our most recent pictures since February.  

Matt got me flowers and sushi for Valentines Day.  I have the sweetest husband!!

We wen't to the Louisville Slugger Museum for one of our date days.  We ate tacos at a little taco shop in downtown Louisville called Taco Punk, and we had coffee at a cute little coffee shop called Please & Thank You also in downtown.  We had a great time and enjoyed the rare opportunity to have time to be with each other.

For another date day Matt and I went to the Louisville Dog Show at the fair grounds.   Neither of us had ever been to a real dog show before, so it was quite an experience for us.  We had a great time, and we especially enjoyed the agility trials for the dogs.  Matt's favorite dog was the Cattle Dog, and mine was the Grey Hound.

Here is a picture of the house where I'm a nanny at.  I really really really love being a nanny.  The two kids that I nanny are ages 5 and 7.  The girl is 5 and the boy is 7.  The family is amazing, and I thank God every day that He has given me this awesome opportunity to serve this family as their nanny.

Lastly, I wanted to post a video of our first home here at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in the Fuller Apartment.  I say our first home because we will be moving to a larger on campus apartment next week.  So, If you're interested to see how we set up our 500 sq foot apartment go ahead and enjoy this clip.  

Thank you all for taking the time to read through this blog.  We want you all to know that we miss all of you back in California, but that God is so good in providing for us while we are over here in Seminary.  Please continue to pray that God would make His will clear for us for after Seminary.
