Life is good

I know it has been awhile since I posted, I just seem to forget quite frequently that I have a blog.  We are closing on "our" house on Monday!!  It doesn't seem like our house yet, but soon Im sure it will...We are getting so excited.  We looked at this house back at the beginning of April and it has been a long process of buying it.  The house was foreclosed so it is in need of work.  Luckily, my parents are able to help us fix the minor issues that are going on.  I am so excited about no longer carrying my groceries up three flights of stairs, or being worried that if we play Dance, Dance Revolution our neighbors below us are going to get upset.  It will be so nice to have our own space, with our own yard, and to be able to have a grill again.  All the things in life that matter most. =D The house is close to work and school, lots of friends, and both of our parents are only about an hour away.....

Other things that are going on in our lives.....My sister, Emily moved to Indiana.  I miss her so much!! Emily and I have always been really close, so it is strange not having her around to watch old movies with or to meet for dinner, or to talk about 90's songs from Baywatch, lol.  We have one of those relationships, where you don't have to say a word, but know everything the other person is thinking.  Having a sister is wonderful.  Emily is the best...I can't wait to go and visit her.....

We officially joined Crossway about a month ago.  We are getting ready to visit some regular care groups and make that transition up from Mission28.  It is bittersweet.  We are sad to leave M28, but I think it will be great to be with other married couples, meet new people, and take a look into that next "season" of life.  Yes, Aaron "season,"  just for your laughing pleasure....

Aaron is enjoying his job at UNCC.  He went to a conference in Maine last month to learn more about what other Assistive Technology Specialists do and to get ideas.  Although, all I heard about was all the food he got to eat and how the staff made his bed so nicely everyday... of course, just like his wonderful wife does at home....=D  The week after the move, Aaron will be going to Reno for a conference as well. He will be gone for a week this time. He is happy to have a job where he gets the chance to travel some, although I have trouble getting used to being at home alone...It is so wonderful having Aaron as a husband.  He does such a good job providing for me and taking care of everything for us.  With the house, he has researched for countless hours about financing options, ways to fix things, how to save the money.  He has also taken care of all the paperwork, dealing with the bank, and real estate agent. I haven't had to think twice about how something should be done.  Aaron teaches me how to be patient, and wait on what the Lord has in store for us.  This has proven to be the best way repeatedly, when I would've rushed into things.  I thank God for giving me Aaron.  He has been leading me/pushing me in the right direction ever since 7th grade when I met him.  He truly lives for the Lord and I love him so much!
