So I've decided to start a blog so our friends and family can see what we're up to here in Louisville. It will be about what's going on in our lives- some things are exciting (at least I think so!) and some are pretty mundane, but still, we'd love to share it with you!
So here's what we've been up to lately!
We got married almost 2 years ago on July 12, 2008. We went on a wonderful honeymoon cruise, came back to Georgia, packed up our stuff, and moved to Louisville, KY. We moved into our 1st apartment on August 1, 2008.
Since then, we've had quite an adventure! Here's a brief summary of the highlights!
August 2008: Will starts Seminary at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is getting his MDiv in Christian Ministry. His program is 96 hours! We're hoping he'll graduate in Dec. 2011, or May 2012. Will also started working on campus at the post office/store called 5th and Broadway.
October 2008: I (finally!) got a job teaching pre-k in the local school district. My babies were 3 and 4 years old.
August 2009: I started grad school at Indiana University Southeast to get my Master's in Elementary Education. My program is only 36 hours, and I should be done in August of 2011. I also started teaching 1st grade! It was quite possibly the hardest year of teaching I've had, but definitly the most rewarding!
October 2009: Will started working full time at 5th and Broadway. He is an assistant manager in charge of Mailing Services. We didn't know it at the time, but probably the biggest perk of this job was his health insurance because....
Will got very very sick in October.
November 2009: After several doctor's appointments, Will is finally referred to a gastroenterologist who quickly diagnoses him with Ulcerative Colitis. Yep, Ulcerative Colitis. It is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects his colon. Thankfully, the doctor was able to prescribe fantastic meds, and Will started to recover very quickly. He's doing great now!
May 2009: Mother's day- While on a weekend trip to Cincinnati, we find out we are pregnant!!! We are thrilled!!! On May 18, we find out we have had a miscarriage. We are devastated. On May 22, we moved into a new apartment. Crazy month.
June 2009: I'll talk more about this in later posts, but God's faithfulness is neverending! He is beginning to bring healing into our lives, and we are beginning to understand that God has big plans for our lives that are to bring glory to His name. While we are still grieving the loss of our child, we are excited to see how God is and will use this tragedy for His glory!
