We have really been enjoying the wonderful friends that God has placed in our lives. We've had lots of get-togethers and baby showers to go to. It seems that so many couples in our church are pregnant. For Easter Sunday, we had 30 people over for lunch. I couldn't believe everyone fit in our condo, but somehow it worked.
Andrew has been enjoying working at Chick-fil-a, and the Lord is really using Andrew here. He has been able to reach out to several of his co-workers. It is truly amazing to see how the Lord is working.
Andrew finished up his first year of seminary last Thursday...woohoo!!! He's been studying and reading non-stop. Even though he's finished with school, I still see him with a book in his hand. He's happily admitted that he is an official "geek." :) The Friday after he finished his finals, we took a quick get-away to Cincinnati. We were taking our friend Andy to the airport anyway, so we thought we would make a day of it. We went to the IKEA store, which I loved. This place was huge. I had so much fun browsing around. Andrew, of course, found a comfy couch and read. We were able to catch a Reds vs. Cardinals game as well. It was fun. We had to come back early Saturday morning for him to go to work and I had a baby shower to attend.
We're heading to Memphis this weekend for the annual BBQ fest. We've had to miss it the past two years, so we are super excited about delicious ribs and pulled pork sandwiches. My mouth is watering!!! We also found out that our dear friends from Murfreesboro, Kevin and Virginia, will be moving to Louisville in just a few weeks. What fun to have them here!! Virginia is the one who initially brought me to Fellowship in Murfreesboro. She came into my life at just the right time.
Andrew is planning on taking some classes this summer, and we'll both just continue working. I have a wedding to attend in July. My best friend since 3rd grade is getting married out in Colorado. Unfortunatley Andrew can't attend, but I know I'll have a good time.
Well I guess that's about it. I'll try not to wait too long before the next post!
