we did it

We submitted the application to join the CARES team – the first step in this process! Your comments were so encouraging, and convinced me that I don’t have to be the Outgoing Extrovert to do a good job. I am excited, yet nervous! We’ll see what they say! (We need to find 3 references too!) We are praying that if God doesn’t want us to do this, that He’ll close doors. We still have to be accepted by the organization,…

decisions, decisions!

decisions, decisions!

I mentioned that we have currently been deciding what to do about housing coming October when our lease is up. We have three options (stay where we are, do an apartment ministry, or buy a condo) and we decided to break up the three options so they somewhat stand alone.

A few things: AJ and Molly aren’t coming. :-( Oh well! I was looking forward to seeing them, but it’s also somewhat of a relief to me to not have to worry about that. (Y’all aren’t off the hook! You still need to come up and see my apartment! :-)) I am still brainstorming about the carpets, but at least I don’t have to take care of it this weekend. I’m thinking of renting a dehumidifier too. A few weeks…
