A Great Way to Say Goodbye

This past weekend was the youth lock-in at the church. Trey and I are still trying to catch up on sleep.

The fun included s’ mores, pizza, lots of candy and junk food, movies, very loud screaming, blasting music in the fellowship hall (thanks to Natalie :) ) and a few hundred games of sardines. Youth Lock-in = success. I was the first to fall asleep at around 12. Lame, I know. Everyone else went to sleep between 3 am and 5 am. Trey at about 5:30 am. Then even more junk food in the form of donuts for breakfast at 8 am.

S' mores with Vicki, Adrian, Keenan, Taylor, and me

Lots and lots of junk food

Taylor said this was her favorite part of the night :)

Yes. We duct taped Taylor to the wall.

Adrian, Natalie, and Taylor after breakfast. Sleepy, sleepy.

Keenan went to sleep at 2:30 and woke up at 8:00 and he was just as awake as the night before. I think it was all that sugar.

Trey and I have been in the process of packing for a couple months now. Even though we only live in a one bedroom apartment, when you are lazy and you marry someone just as lazy as you are it takes a lot of motivation to get things done. But we’re almost finished! Trey’s family and the U-haul will be here on Saturday and then we are officially residents of Fort Worth, TX.

We both have jobs! I will be an Office Clerk at Richland Middle School in Birdville ISD and Trey will be the Youth Minister at New Hope Fellowship Christian Church. Everything fell together at the last minute. We both strongly feel that the Lord has placed us where He wants us and we can't wait to see how He uses us.

The only bad part about this whole moving situation is that we have to leave our family. The First Christian Church in Bryan has become our home. I cannot express in words how absolutely wonderful this church has been. Every person has been so caring and supportive and it’s hard to believe that there is another church community out there with more love than this one. They have become our life-long family and they will always be a part of our growth in life and our faith. First Christian Church of Bryan/College Station we love you and we will miss you dearly!

One year and 5 days...

... that's how long it's been since the last post. So much for updating our blog that nobody knows about.

Trey and I promise to try as hard as we can to remember to post on this thing on a regular basis for anyone who wants to know what's going on in our lives.

Big things are happening in our lives right now. It's been quite hectic for the past few weeks but we officially have a house in Fort Worth and are moving on July 31st. I haven't had the best of luck on the job front. I had one interview last week that I thought went really well, but then I received a "we've filled the position, but thank you anyway!" e-mail. I've gotten a couple of those. Trey on the other hand, is a hot commodity. He has had 3 potential offers. Nothing is final yet, but we should know for sure which church will offer him a Youth minister position by the end of this week.

We're both anxious and excited and we can't wait to begin a new chapter. We know that God will put us where He wants us and we have all of the faith in the world in His wonderful plan for us.
