reloaded

i had my first big event with johnson ferry yesterday! it was a LONG day, but so fun and worth it! we had 526 students there for some back-to-school fun, worship, and a chance to win an ipod touch. it was funny to see 6th graders and 12th graders in the same room. middle school kids are CRAZY, this is going to be fun! i'm having a blast in the youth house, too, there's always something going on. it reminds me of the lost canyon office...always one of my favorite places to hang out at camp! and we're going to sharptop in january, i'm excited to get my young life fix...i don't think the addiction will ever leave me :).

and libby comes to visit this weekend!

great news!

i finally have a j-o-b!! God's timing is ridiculously perfect as always. the whole job search was a pretty miserable experience. i felt like there was just nothing out there for me and i was getting so tired of searching jobsites and fruitless interviews. just when i was really starting to lose hope (and all our money!), i found the perfect job! i'm going to be the middle school ministry assistant at johnson ferry baptist church in marietta! ricky and i have been going there lately and they have awesome student ministry, it seems very similar to young life. and middle school kids? never saw that one coming, but it will be a new adventure! i'll be doing a lot of administrative work, but also a lot of work with the other folks in the youth house and kids and i'll be doing some trips with them, too. thanks for all your prayers, we are SO pumped!

life in georgia

i don't know if we'll ever actually update this, but it seems like such a great way to connect with friends all across the country. i look at other people's blogs pretty much everyday (couldn't they have a better name than blog? i hate that word). i'm still adjusting to the atl, but it has been so fun. we've been to braves games and even got to go to the georgia game last week against directional michigan with a few friends! jerry managed to hook us up with box seats, it was so fun! sec country is unlike anything else, but i'm loving it!
