I don’t know why it is I forget to blog!? A lot has changed since Christmas. I now work at one of the Elementary Schools where Matt and I live. I am a half day Paraprofessional; I work with children that have behavioral issues. Matt and I actually both work there and work in the same classroom. I love that we both have the schedule now, it is wonderful! Matt and I moved into Matt’s grandma’s house in the first of January. She fell in October and broke her femur; she was put into a nursing home for rehab. So we moved into her house and took on the rent while she is in the nursing home, she was getting so close to getting to come home, but she fell again and it caused her to go back to where she started. Hopefully by the end of the summer she will be as good as new and get to come home.
Matt and I applied to be E-Team leaders in October, we weren’t sure if we would be accepted this year, because we are both quite young and haven’t been married long. When we applied we knew that if were accepted then it was what God wanted, but if we weren’t accepted it wasn’t what God wanted for us at this point. Both Matt and I went on E-Team when we were in high school, so it holds a very special place in our hearts. We found out in December that we had been accepted to be leaders but didn’t know where we were going yet. I was SO excited when we found out, it came in an email and I nearly cried when I read it! We finally found out in January that we were going to Spain! It has only been 3 months that we have known, but it seems like we have known a lot longer!! We only have 59 days until we finally get to meet our team in person. We will go to Nashville on June 7th and stay there for a week for training, learning songs in their language and a mime. I cannot tell you how excited Matt and I are for June to get here!!
Matt will hopefully get a job this fall at a school in either the Tulsa or OKC area. He has taken one of his tests to be a teacher, but he still has more to take and we are waiting for the results from his first test. I will be really starting my degree this fall once I start at either OSU-OKC or TCC. It is scary not knowing what the next few months will hold for us, but we just have to trust God and wait on his timing to know where we will be.
I cannot wait to share with you about E-Team, and where God takes us. I will try to be better about remembering to blog. Hope you have a great week!
