So it begins...

So, I have enjoyed reading blogs of family, friends, and people that I have lost touch with and following their lives so much that I decided it would be neat to blog myself. Now that I have a little bit more time on my hands, I thought this might be something I would enjoy. So it begins...

We have reached our favorite time of the year, summer vacation! Chase is enjoying his first summer in 3 years to do nothing since the past 2 summers have been consumed with knee surgery. I am teaching summer school for the next 6 weeks, then I can take a few weeks off. It is only half days, and I would find myself very bored if I didn't have something to do. However, I believe this will be the first and last time that I teach summer school. It is a different group of kids then the classes I have had during the school year. It has made me really miss my kiddos and realize that I am not cut out to be a kindergarten teacher!!!

We have been taking it easy for a week or so but tomorrow begins a very busy weekend. A weekend full of family, friends, guests, neighbors, cookouts, and City Fest! During the school year, I dread busy weekends but I love them during the summer! We are really looking forward to spending time with friends and family that are coming to visit as well as our sweet neighbors!

The biggest change in our life right now is our search for a new church closer to home! We have been visiting around Alabaster and have found several churches we have enjoyed. We love Shades Crest but have been looking into the future. We have decided that one day when we have kids, we want them to go to church, school, and be neighbors with the same kids. Therefore we are searching for something closer. Finding a new church is always uncomfortable at first. It is hard stepping outside of your comfort zone, especially for me, but we knew we wanted to do it and now is as good a time as any! We are doing lots of praying to find where God will lead us!

Well, I guess that is our life in a nut shell right now. More updates later!
