All settled in

Emily and I finally have internet again so we feel connected to the world. It has been a busy first week here in Fort Worth but an exciting one. We have a new home, new garden, new jobs, new church, and still a dog that goes pee in the house. I would say our house is about 85% done. We got 80% done the first day and since then it’s been a little slow.

We both are preparing for this upcoming year. I have been getting some last minute reading done before orientation for Brite. I have also begun the process of getting to know the youth at New Hope Fellowship. They are a great group of kids and I am excited for the month that is ahead of us. I graduate from Texas A&M on Friday August 13^th and will begin orientation for Brite on August 19^th and 20^th with classes starting on the 23^rd. I will be taking ‘Interpreting the Hebrew Bible’, ‘Introduction to Christian Theology 1’, and ‘History of Christianity 1, Early and Medieval’.

Emily will be starting work on the 16^th and has registration the week before that. She has done a great job with all of the handy work around the house in that she put together the kitchen table, chairs, bedroom set, and dresser, which is something that I have trouble doing.

We have enjoyed the Fort Worth area so far but we are still trying to get used to the distance between stores and other locations where in Bryan everything was right down the street.

I promised Pat Boleman that I would put pictures up of the new home so here they are!

Our house! The grass needs a little watering.

Our awesome kitchen. it's a bit of an upgrade from the closet.

Kitchen table from target that Emily put together by herself. Two of the chairs are a little wobbly but Emily swears its Target's fault.

Garden Before. Notice Bentley helping.

Garden After. It's still a work in progress.
