bliss

Yesterday was our 4th Valentine's together... and the best one yet.

AC and I both had to work. I got home at 645 to see a pretty lavender plant, swedish fish, and a love note. We had Spice and Ice (an asian restaurant in north albany) for dinner, watched the bachelor, and listened to my new mixed cd!

It included a few of our mainstays...

the talented Ben Harper



the beautiful Alicia Keys


And of course Mr. Dave Matthews


i love my man.

moved

Wow. I haven't done anything on here for over a month!

I got a new job!! I am working at the Albany Boys and Girls Club as a Program Assistant. I am supervising little kiddos all afternoon! This week I will start teaching a Boys and Girls Club of America curriculum as well. God totally had his hand on all of this. I had interviewed with them in the Summer and they hired a different person, which was a blessing. Being part time at Togo's, the FHA loan required 2 years on the job. Boys and Girls Club called me on Monday, January 3rd seeing if I could come in for an interview- I said yes, very happily. We signed on Tuesday. Closed on Thursday. Got the keys on Friday. Interview on Friday. Offered the job Friday. Moved Saturday. Busy Sunday. Started Boys and Girls Club Monday. God is amazing. His timing is so perfect and I feel so blessed to be at a place that is empowering these kids and truly making a difference.

I also became a Scentsy consultant, which I am totally pumped about.

We are finally moved into our first home and feeling more settled by the day. I finished up the bathroom in our room this week. AC hung up all the blinds (not such a fun job), we sanded our dresser and nightstands today to be painted, got cable and internet, and our new bed! Things still need to be put on the walls, but that will come in time.

In a nut shell, there's our month of chaos/blessings/God's provision/and a cozy place to call home.

christmas time

Last Thursday we were able to buzz up to Newberg to watch Ava in her Christmas program for her preschool. She was a little angel. AC and I went up with my parents, which it was nice to be able to chat and have dinner together, too!





We are loving all the Christmas cards we are getting! I love opening mail this time of year. AC keeps saying we should have sent one out... but we will be sending a new address announcement in January/February. We are getting so excited to move and everything seems to still be running smoothly, PTL!

Here is one of my bragging rights as an auntie... I'm a bit proud, I know.



Here is one of our new favorite, mellow, Christmas tunes..
