We finally have an offer on the house that we have accepted!!! Praise be to God!!
We are doing really well down here in Ramer. The kids have been registered for Kindergarten (sigh, tear). I know that they will love it, because they love PreK-4. Their school and staff are amazing! I love substituting and being able to see them when I am there and still be able to do the mom stuff too.
Jeff is preparing to do his first Easter Sunrise sermon. He says Easter is his favorite because of the fact that we are celebrating Christ rising from the dead in order for us to have life everlasting!
I am going to get to go to the Women of Joy conference again this year, in about a week with my mother in law and a good friend. I am looking SO forward to it. Last year was such a great relaxer and uplifter!
The kids spent the night for the first time with friends last night. They seemed to really enjoy themselves, but were really tired! :) I am glad their first sleepover was a success.

Snow Day!
Hello friends! It's been a while since I last blogged. Today is our first snow day of 2010!!! We are excited to get to go out and play a little later on. Everything has been pretty good! We had a great Christmas (minus the stomach bug I had on Christmas day) and are looking forward to a wonderful New Year!!!
We are still waiting on God for our house in Dickson. It is sitting empty right now. We are praying for a buyer or renter. We are praying to see if He wants us to put it on the market again or if we should wait. Please continue to pray for us in this aspect.
I hope that you all have a blessed and wonderful New Year! Hopefully, I will update a little more often than I have this past year :)

preK-4 and house update
Hello friends! Annabelle officially started preK-4 today! Andrew was a little sick so he had to stay home with Mommy. She had a great first day! Andrew was so sad he didn't get to go to school today, but hopefully he will get to go Thursday. They are letting us all adjust. This week they go Tues/Thurs and next week they will go Mon/Wed/Fri. Then the week after that they will go Mon-Fri!!! I can not believe it! Please pray for them as the start at a new school and please pray for me because I haven't been without my kiddos like this EVER!! We will be fine, it will be an adjustment (more for me than them) :) God is gracious! This is the best elementary school in the county!
More on God is gracious....we have rented our house in Dickson. We were praying for it to sell, but apparently God had other ideas in mind :) One of our friends from the Dickson church needed somewhere to rent and called us up! The deal should be finalized on Friday!! God helped her out and us out!! Double blessings!!!
Jeff goes back to school the 1st of September! He is excited about his classes, especially the Hebrew one. I would think that I would be apprehensive about that one, but he is all for it! Good for him! He still has about 3 years left at MTS if he takes 25 hours a year, but he is enjoying it and making new friends and reuniting with a couple of old ones :)
Church is going pretty good! We had a great revival a week ago! It was so powerful! For the first time since we came, we were able to partake of the Lord's supper as a church family!! Our church family here continues to amaze us with the way that they care for us! They are amazing and we are very blessed to have such wonderful friends and family!

home sweet home
We just took an amazing vacation to the mountains. We were able to go to the WonderWorks, Dixie Stampede, Aquarium, and Cade's Cove. We had a wonderful time. We stayed at a chalet that's owned by one of our friends. It was awesome. Views from the back porch....amazing!!! We didn't really get any rest, but we had a lot of fun and even saw some bears at Cade's Cove.
House hasn't sold yet, but we did put a for rent sign up. So now there is a For Sale and a For Rent sign up at the house. We are still praying that God's will will be done.
Jeff did really well in school in the Spring and Summer classes. He has a 3.7 GPA. He is also preaching his first funeral service tomorrow, so please pray for the family and for him.
I am still planning on substituting this fall, just to make a little extra money. The kids are starting Pre-K in a couple of weeks. They are so excited! I was too until I realized that they will not be with me for 5 days!!!!! I am excited, I just don't know how I am going to be without my babies. They have only been to the two day mother day outs. It's definitely going to be a change.
Right now, our current prayers are that we could find some great friends that we could just hang out with. So please keep us in your prayers. Please pray that we would do God's will for our lives. He is in control!! That thought just gives me total peace!!!

House/Substitute
I have been been a slacker when it has come to updates. Tonight is probably not the best night to write. I am discouraged about our house selling, or rather not selling. I am trusting in God, because I know when it sells it will be Him alone. Psalm 130 really hit home tonight. It says..."out of the depths I have cried to you, Lord hear my voice, let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications...I wait for the Lord, my soul waits and in His word I do hope". Well Lord, all I have is Yours. I will wait on you because because 1)you are God 2)You love me 3)Your ways are so much better than mine. I will wait on you Lord!!!
In other news...I have become an official substitute, which also was a gift from God. I was with pre-k inclusion class that ranged from 3-6 years olds, that was fun. Then received a call the very next day and was with 4th and 5th graders for a half day. Both were extremely good experiences. I feel like this is what the Lord is wanting me to do at this moment. I still get to stay home most of the time, but am able to make a little extra money. God is good! All the time!!! Even in the midst of a disappointment, even in the midst of celebrating. Our God is a wonderful, compassionate God!!!!

I Have An Interview
Yay!!! The McNairy Co Board of Education just called and would like to interview me for a substitute teacher position on March 31!! I am so excited!! Thank you God!!! We were just praying and talking about this exact thing last night. We had decided that since it had already been over a month, maybe I should just check out a couple of other options. I am very hopeful! We were trying to figure out if we could make it on Jeff's income alone and we figured out that we could, we just would be scraping by at times. Please pray with us that if God wants me to be a substitute that I would do very well in the interview. Since God has opened this door a little I am hopeful that it will work out. The only interviews that I have done were for the jobs that I had in college. So...it has been been awhile folks:) Please pray for my nerves and everything else. This is so exciting!!!!

Settled...well almost :)
We are pretty much settled in our new home. We have finished unpacking all boxes. We just have to put the pictures on the wall as well as put some curtains up in 3 rooms. We went to our first church outing. The church goes out to lunch every 1st Wednesday of the month. We went to Ryan's today! Yum!! It was fun!! We had a chance to sit, eat and talk to some of the church members. I am already feeling a great deal of love for our new church family.
I have been struggling the past week. I have absolutely no clue on how to be a pastor's wife. I feel so discouraged at times. I am praying that God will show me the new role he has lined out for me. I am looking forward to learning!
I have been lonesome for my family and Jeff's also. I have never been this far away from my parents. Even when we lived in Dickson, Jeff's family was always near so I always had someone close to talk to. I am praying that God would show me the plans that He has for us here...step by step. I know that He is faithful and is always near. That thought alone has brought a smile to me face as well as gives me such a peace that only He can give me.
We are in the process of planning several events for the church. A few ideas that have been thrown out are...Easter celebration, VBS, a revival, showing FireProof. I am looking forward to each of these.
The kids are enjoying preschool. They go two days a week from 8:30-12:30. They seem to really enjoy it. I have applied to be a substitute. I am just waiting for the call to be fingerprinted as well as interviewed. I hope that they call soon!
Everything else is going okay. The kids are healthy at the moment, as are me and Jeff. That is always a good thing. We are looking forward to the next couple of days when it is sunny and warm outside so we can play outside. We are also excited about Chris, Wendy and the girls coming up on Saturday!! Hurry up :)
