Well I've been on blog hiatus! I'm sure you've noticed. But finally I've uploaded pictures and I'm ready to report. There has been SO much going on and for my own benefit I want to remember it all. So we are back tracking...really back tracking!

May 1st was Currey's birthday. Birthdays are a big deal at our house and we love celebrating together and with friends. This year Currey's birthday was a little different as we were about to move and he was graduating a week after his birthday. When I asked Currey how he wanted to celebrate this year he said dessert night with friends. Our sweet friend Amy knew our house was already in boxes and offered her apartment for our celebration. For birthdays I'll make whatever dessert Currey wants. This year he got 3!!! He has good taste and we enjoyed them all!

Hi all! I am still missing my camera cord and have about decided to just get another. There has been a lot going on that I want to document so we will be playing major catch up! Until we can show you pictures about all that is going on we love to share Currey's latest sermon. It is apparent that God has gifted Currey with the gift of teaching. It was extra special as both of my parents were here and got to hear it in person. It was sweet treat! The sermon can be found here.

Once to the page look for the sermon on 7-5-09, Our Hope is Found in a Mighty God. Even though I'm a little biased I think it's more than worth your time!

Pictures and stories will be coming soon!

We are excited to announce that Currey is officially on staff at our church! We were presented last Sunday and have already had 2 great activities with the kids. We could not be happier! I am so amazed at the goodness of God. We are blessed beyond measure by our church family. It is a joy for me to get to work with Currey and see him in ministry. I am beyond thankful that God has provided a place where they love Currey and allow him to use the gifts that he has been given.

In other news...there will be updates soon. I'm now 2 months behind but with Currey's new position and my new job time for blogging becomes even more limited. And there could be the possibility that I haven't totally unpacked and haven't discovered my photo cord! :) More to come soon!

Hi all! So it's been a month since my last post...we've been busy. There will soon be several posts updating where we have been once I find my cord to upload pictures. One recent event is our move and we still aren't completely settled. Hopefully by next week it will be found! Enjoy your weekend!

Jeffrey came to visit us this Easter. It was such a fun trip. We love having company. Jeffrey has visited enough that he had places he wanted to go and restaurants he wanted to eat at which is fun. We laughed a lot, ate a ton and enjoyed some quality time together.

He got in on Friday afternoon and we ran errands and had lunch. We hung out that afternoon and then I made dinner for friends. We then went to a Seder Supper at our church. It was a really interesting experience.

Saturday morning we got up and I made donuts. It's one of my new favorite breakfasts. It's supper easy and I'll put the recipe up soon.


We then headed to the city for Dim Sum in China Town. It's one of Jeffrey's favorites and did not disappoint. We spent time in China Town and then went to see Vic and Ryan. There is a Pakistani place that Currey loves and I refuse to eat at. Currey was thrilled that Jeffrey requested to eat there.


We then met my friends Nancy and Griselda for a movie.

It was outstanding and if you get the chance you should see it. Sunday we went to church, ate lunch with friends and then watched the Masters. Several friends came over that night and we played Wii which is always an adventure.


Monday we headed back to China Town and got Jeffrey's girlfriend a wallet. We ended the trip with pizza at Giordano's. It was a great trip and we loved getting to see Jeffrey!

As many of you know, we dream of expanding our family through adoption. We are excited to report that after lots of pray, planning and dreaming we have officially begun our adoption process. We want to be able to remember each moment of the journey so we have started a new blog here. As we progress on our journey we will update it. We are so excited and look forward to sharing our journey with you!

I'm in week 2 of my new job and I am enjoying it. I am still learning so much and have to complete a 9 week training program through the state. Unfortunately I could not enroll in it until April 27th so that means that I won't carry my own cases until July. I am a little impatient but believe that the Lord is giving me a slower pace to adjust to a new surrounding. I continue to adjust to such a happy work environment! The team gets along really well and my new supervisor is very enthusiastic. I'm excited for this opportunity and I'm affirmed that I made the right decision about leaving my last job.

In other news, last Saturday Currey took his Exegesis Comp. The report from everyone was that it was more difficult than expected so we are waiting in great anticipation for the results.

Other than that a lot of my time is consumed with Cinderella's Closet. We are enjoying my new work hours that allow for more time together, opportunities to spend time with friends and lots of opportunities to try new recipes. Hopefully this weekend I'll get a chance to post a couple. Hope everyone enjoys their Friday and has a happy weekend!
