Really?! It's About Time.

So here we are.... a year later. I'm finally getting back around to keeping the few of you updated. Not much has changed in the past year. It's hard to think that it's only been a year since Asheville. It feels likes so much more time has passed. I can't believe that last year at this time we were absolutely devastated to realize our dream of Asheville wasn't going to happen. Perhaps this is part of the mourning process....in the beginning time goes so slowly and then life happens and you have to move on full speed ahead.

This past year has been filled with stress, frustration, joy, excitement, new life, growing friendships, parting of ways and so many other emotions. I finished my student teaching in November of 2009 and graduated in December. My parents, brother and best friend were able to come out for graduation. I finally made it! In January I received my teaching license and was very blessed to get a long term sub position from February to June. As of now, I'm still looking for a contracted position and I hope to hear some good news soon! Graham has been with Wells Fargo as a temp employee for the past year and a half. He has interviewed for different positions over the past year and we finally got good news! He was chosen for a permanent position that stats on the 16th of August. This new job has taken a lot of the stress and worry away and replaced it with excitement and joy!

At the beginning of the year my brother and his now wife had a baby girl. I've only met her a few times, but the stories I hear from my mom are hilarious! In March, there was a super fun wedding...performed by the Reverend Graham Peterson.

We're excited for this next part of our lives and hopefully I'll be better about keeping the internet aware of what's going on.
