A New Beginning!!!
Well, life is about to change for us! On November 18th, we found out that we will be adding another little member to our family! We are beyond thrilled and feel so blessed that the Lord has chosen us to be parents. I am due around the end of July. My first doctor's appointment is Monday so I will find out for sure then! I will try to post pictures as soon as I can of the exciting day we found out and how I told my family :)

Ministry....
Well, yesterday was the first official day of our "new ministry". Greg was able to work on the printing presses for a few hours and I worked on some stuff for Choice Kid's Club and our Donation Committee. It was a wonderful day! God also answered 2 big prayers fro us yesterday and we are so grateful!
Last Friday at Choice Kid's Club, Greg and I were pretty much there to observe since it was only Greg's first week and my second week there. During the handbook time iwth the kids somebody asked me if I would go over and work with one of the young girls. They told me if she understands what we're teaching her, ask her if she wants to get saved. I went through the plan of salvation with her a few times and asked her questions. I told her if she wanted to get saved today she could ask me or one of the leaders. She said "Yup!" I said "You do want to get saved today?" "Yup!" So I took her out in the hall where it was quiet and told her to pray. She prayed the most sincere prayer and was choked up during it. It was so special and such a sweet moment. I was SO happy to have had a part in bringing her to the Lord! I pray and hope she sticks with the Lord and serves Him her whole life! Please pray for her!
To me that was just a little welcome present to me from the Lord and a little confirmation like Him saying, "See, this is where I want you to be!".
Well, that's all for now. We are headed back to work on more ministry stuff and we're also going to try to work on our new apartment as much as possible to help speed that along!

I'm Back....
Well, after a year, I figured I should probably start our blog back up again. I am sorry for deserting it for so long. I was having a lot of trouble uploading pictures to the computer and since I wanted to include pictures with most of my posts I finally just gave up on it. Anyway, I'm back now, pictures or not.
A lot has happened in the last year. We've done a ton of traveling, we've visited Florida, Mississippi, New York a few times and Connecticut. We celebrated our 1 year anniversary in April and got to take a trip to Niagara Falls. I had been to the Falls several times and Greg had been a few but neither of us had seen them at night. We got to do this on our anniversary trip and it was great!
Probably our biggest change this year has been moving. The Lord called us into the ministry and we are thrilled to be serving him. We moved to NY and will be serving in a program called MAP -- Ministry Apprenticeship Program. We will be training young people (pre-college) for the ministry. They will be learning Mechanics (taught by Greg), construction, printing press and many many other things. We are so excited to be used by God and especially to be working with young people.
We will be leaving for Texas to visit my sister and brother-in-law and also for a Missions Conference. We are really excited to see what the Lord is going to show us as we go into the ministry.
