Duplex

We received our housing assignment for Southeastern. Starting Jan 2nd we'll be the proud renters of a 2 bed, 1 bath duplex in Wake Forest, a mere block away from campus. Pretty nice. They're older buildings, built in 1959 and 1979, but apparently have been newly refurbished with carpet/etc. Our duplex is caddy corner to a high school football field with only a tree-free parking lot to buffer the stadium noise-- hope they have a lot of away games!

It's less than 2 months to go now! We're in full-on job hunting mode. I'm hoping and praying for a 6th grade Language Arts position... if not I guess I'll try elementary. Kellen is not sure just what to look for since we're not sure when classes are offered to plan around. If God wants him in ministry He'll make a way, I'm sure!

Thanksgiving will be here before you know it; don't let the 75 degree weather today trick you! And it's just one month (tomorrow) until our crazy Canook clan arrives-- Joanie & Justin and Ben & Rhonda (full bellied by then!) arrive Dec 16 for about 2 weeks of Christmas shenanigans! What a full and happy house it will be! Then a day after they fly out, Kellen and I move! Empty nest for Momma & Daddy!

It's a busy time of year, but I'm so ready to be moving towards a goal again, and not feel like I'm just killing time til we start seminary!

I'm going to go take advantage of this Indian Summer day... where'd I put those capri pants?

In You - Mercy Me

We started singing this song at church a couple weeks ago, and I just love it. Had to share it.
Clink on the link and give it a listen.

Halloween, past and present

Just thought I'd post our Halloween pic...
Here's one from 1983. Ben is the leopard, Joanie is the skeleton, and I'm the vampire. Momma was dressed up too, she was all dolled up with a short hair wig and red lipstick- sassy!

Here's me and Kellen last night. Homer & Marge Simpson.
