Catching Up....

The guys ice skating at Tenney Park
The past two weeks have been so crazy busy. Last week Steve & Kyle came up to visit us from St. Louis for a few days and this weekend we’re heading to a church planting boot camp just outside of Milwaukee. We’re so looking forward to getting away and having a chance to get refreshed and see Chris, Nathan and the others that will be there.

Still no job for Steve. It’s been rather frustrating as we’re going into his 3rd month of job searching. Ironically I’ve been getting calls lately from places I had sent my resume out to months ago. One of them has even called a few times and emailed yesterday to see if I’d be willing to reconsider. It’s just so frustrating because when I needed a job I couldn’t find one, and now that I have one I’m getting calls while my husband is the one needing work and isn’t getting many calls at all.

On a more positive note, we’re really liking our life here in Madison. Yes, this winter weather sucks, but the city is so great that it kind of makes up for it – just a little bit though. In the short time we’ve been here we’ve already made a pretty nice group of friends and even though half of our stuff is still sitting out in the garage in boxes our place is starting to feel more like home. I am so ready for spring to come so we can get out and really explore the city.


Just a "normal" winter day in Madison
I feel like these last few months have been such a great learning experience for me. I’ve had to learn not to worry so much, how to better communicate and most of all to learn to be more dependent on Jesus for every need. That being said, I’m grateful for all I’ve learned and the experiences I’ve had, but I’m definitely ready for a new season. I’m ready to feel like we’re at least kind of back on our feet again and everything isn’t so unknown. I’m not sure if realistically that day will ever come, but if it does I will cherish every moment!
