We're in Clemson, SC tonight with the inlaws. I adore them.

I made a chicken casserole that literally took me an entire day. I'm waiting to get better at being quicker. I don't know if it will ever happen. (Took me forever to type that sentence as a matter of fact.)

I have an observation about the phenomonen of iPhone, iTunes, iCarly, iSermon... We should start saying iMerica. I was going to say something critical about how self absorbed America is becoming. Then I counted the number of times I have said "I" in the last eleven sentences.
(ten exactly) So there is no room for judgment on my part. None at all.

Bobby needs to update to counter my self absorbtion.

We're still on the support train. God has been abundantly gracious to us. We are blessed to get to meet with people who teach us about the Lord's character and how faithful He is in all stages of life. I love them and I love Him!

We're Blogging Y'all!


Bobby and I are sitting side by side at the Midsouth Regional Office and working to get to full support. I am the resident blogger for the time being.
Tonight we get to go visit my cousin Ashley and her sweet family (Markus, Jade, Jasmine). I've lived in the area for the past six years and this is the first time I've been to see them at their house in Raleigh. Crazy.
We got to go visit some great friends in Charleston to talk about ministry and soak in the atmosphere this past weekend. We were really impressed with the feeling we got there and it's on our radar for future living spots. The girls were all glam and sassed out and I could picture myself hanging out there.

As we raise support we basically come home to our apartment for three days at a time and then pick up and leave again. I'm getting really good at packing and doing laundry and repacking. It's a life skill really.

My dear friend Stefanie spent the night with us last night. She flew in from Portugal just to see us (not completely true, but not completely false :)). She and I watched the wedding video and Bobby made us gingerbread tea with cinnamon and sugar. I didn't know he could do that, but he was sweet to us. I miss her when she's gone.

Bobby and I are getting to spend tons of car time together. We have cracked out on more than one occasion: example- he hums or beat boxes and I make up a lively song about what I want to eat when we stop at Taco Bell. We love each other.

I really want to see The Time Travelers Wife- Has anyone seen it? I've announced it to Bobby about six times now (as he kindly brought to my attention).

We will try to update this blog.
We are currently praying for UNC as the year begins and ministry kicks off. I miss my girls already but also feel a strong calling to the new office position. So we are thankful. God has been so very good to us. Pray for us if you will. We are excited to be a team doing ministry. We are learning how to work together and have different brains. One thing I never noticed about myself until marriage:
1. I leave the toothpaste cap off and squeeze from the middle of the tube- Bobby doesn't do that :). It's an ongoing discussion. I am trying it his way for a while.
I asked Bobby one thing he had never noticed about himself and he answered:
1. "I probably have ignored vegetables to an extreme degree in the past six or seven years." That's the honest truth. Most food he eats is tan or yellow unless ketchup is involved. We are changing that slowly.
