Amazed, astounded and in awe! Three adjectives to describe how I'm feeling right now. I'm sitting here with Pepper (Dave's kitty) in my lap purring away. I am now officially a home owner and am working on getting it all set up, unpacked and arranged. I have a new job at a school I really wanted to be at (Carmel Christian School). My church is growing at an amazing rate. Please pray that the obstacles to getting our own building will be removed. (We currently meet in a High School).

I'd love to hear what's happening in your lives.

I'm neglectful of this blog....it is true, but I've never been good at consistent journaling. This summer has been a real blessing. Being able to work for the Feids to make some extra money for living and house decorating has been great. I had resigned myself to teaching 1st grade this fall and was working on my enthusiasm to get excited for the year. God was working in my heart...and today I got a call from Carmel Christian where I interviewed at the beginning of June. I really want to work there because it's more up my alley (Language arts and Science 5th grade). THey are still interested in me and I'll be talking to them again. If it works out...it's actually perfect timing (as always) because I couldn't give notice to my district til after my house closes anyway. My house closes THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Scary but exciting. I'm a grown-up! Well, maybe....Don't spread it around.

I found the coolest thing here in Asheville and am trying to maximize my time since I won't be up here much longer. MIGUN beds---you have GOT to find one in your area of the world/US. It's a company that sells massage beds (beds that massage you-kind of like Brookstone chairs but 100 times better). You go to a 20 minute orientation and then there is a room full of beds and you get to try one.....as many times as you want for FREE (did you get that...FREE) They give you a card and you sign in, pick a bed, lay on it for the 30 minute program (there are 5 programs) and then you leave. NO Pressure to buy ever. I'm serious, this place is my new best friend.

Have a great rest of the summer if you don't hear from me before it ends.
