A new apartment, new jobs, new church and…a new do

Thanks for all of you who have been praying for us and our move. This has been an exciting time for us. When we walked into our apartment for the first time we were so excited. It was beautiful! As soon as I am done fixing it up I will post some pictures. Nick started his job at GBI, Inc. last Thursday as a surveyor and so far he likes it. I am loving life right now, partly because my job is wife and nanny. Every morning I wake up with Nick (ps…that’s early 5:30) and I get to make him breakfast and pack his lunch, but most importantly I get to pray over his day! Then I go back to sleep, wake up and do wifely duties and…two days a week I get to nanny for Robbie and Liz Seay. I absolutely love it!! Their kids are amazing and so much fun and I love getting to help Liz. She is so sweet and I am enjoying so much getting to know her and I can see a wonderful friendship ahead. Yesterday the kids and I were playing in the backyard and we saw a frog. Ethan wanted to capture it, but he wanted me to do it. If you know me very well I defiantly don’t like to touch or be near little creatures or bugs. But, we had so much fun trying to get it. We were all out there screaming and laughing every time it would hop. Little Ezra didn’t really know what we were screaming about (he’s at that fearless age) but just did what we did – he ran around the backyard flopping his arms and screaming. It was adorable. Once we caught the frog I asked Ethan what we should name and he came up with “Cokie Floatie.” It was awesome. So I have a really great job! We also have decided on a church, which is so exciting to us. After leaving Living Hope we felt like we would never find a church we liked as much as LHBC, and we probably won’t, but this church is so great. It fairly new and there’s a lot of growth yet to be done, but we love the idea that we can be a part of that. We have a deep desire to see this church grow and because of our “training” if you will at Living Hope, we are going to be committed members and see this thing through. It’s called Trinity Baptist Church, so in case you want to remember them in your prayers.
Here is a picture of what I did today…



I cut my hair!!! Can you believe it. I am such a spaz about my hair always having to be long, but I figured since it grew so fast it was no big deal. I kinda wanted something new anyway. But don’t worry, it’s not permanent, I WILL be growing it back out. I miss my long hair, but I am enjoying this short do.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week and we miss all of our amazing College Station friends.
