I'm so surprised Kristen hasn't prodded me to update my blog yet. Maybe she's just given up on me, since I haven't posted in like 7 weeks. Maybe she's too busy on myspace to notice (j/k). At any rate.. here I am, with an exciting update:
We bought a house!!
You know how sometimes things you don't plan on happening are the best things that happen to you? We weren't looking for a house AT ALL, but this one seemed to just fall in our laps, pretty much. Charles & I both felt like God wanted us to get this house, so we did. Right now we're busy fixing it up and having a great time planning what we can do to it to make it look better. It's not an old house by any stretch, it just has some quirky things that we would like to change: flooring, wall-colors, lighting challenges, and curb-appeal. It's a lot of work, but has been fun so far. We have just a few more things to do before we move in--replace kitchen cabinets (arghhhhhh! They look like they're from a beach condo in the early 80s), lay down wood-flooring, and maayyybeeee fix lighting. I really like recessed lighting, and so we may do that before we move in. There will be less things to get dirty that way.
Other things have been happening too, like our immigration status. We are getting really really really close to getting the green card. Unfortunately, we have booked a flight to Canada on the 22nd of June. That's 10 days from now. If we do not have the green card by then we will have to re-schedule our trip. Sad. Charles is really looking forward to going home. He hasn't been there in nearly 2 years, thanks to the pending immigration status. The price for tickets sharply escalates later in the summer, so I am praying that we will have the green card in 10 days (the age of miracles is not passed, is it not??) Please pray for this...
Other than that, we are looking for teaching jobs, and just having a nice summer. We'd love to hear from you, so leave a message, email us or call. I will be posting pics of the house shortly. Bye!
