Kevin received a job promotion in 2009 and has been traveling a lot more than we ever anticipated. He started taking classes for his mechanical engineering degree about one year ago. However, he decided that he would wait until I finished school before he went back full time (or close to it). Therefore, he plans on going back to school this upcoming fall 2010 to continue his education. I cannot even begin to express how proud I am of him. God has certainly blessed me with such a wonderful husband, and I love him so very much!
In 2009 we adopted a dog. His name is Carter. To say the least, he is the sweetest, most adorable little animal that could ever walk the planet. We love the little guy so much and he brings so much joy into our lives.
As for me, I was working full time and going to school full time up until December 2009. I took an educational leave of absence from my job in December in order to complete five hundred hours of student teaching in the public school system from January until the end of April. Student teaching went really well, and as you will notice, I imported several blog posts into our family blog from the my student teaching blog (which was required by my university). What I imported was from the first half of my student teaching experience. I actually regret not blogging about the second half of my student teaching experience because it was such a different experience. Anyway, I FINALLY graduated from Regent University on May 8, 2010! YEA!!!!
Currently, I am a stay at home wife, which is weird since I am so used to staying busy. I have applied in three different public school systems as well as one private school. Please, please, please pray that I will be hired for a teaching position for the 2010-2011 school year. Who would have thought that it would be so diffuclut to find a teaching position!? Nonetheless, I know that God has it all under control. He has called me to the education field, and I know that He is beginning to prepare the hearts and minds of the students who I will teach next year. It's just me that needs to continue to have faith!
As far as traveling is concerned, Kevin and I have traveled to several different places over the past year or so. A few include: Las Angeles, San Francisco, Sonoma and Napa Valley, California; Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam in Nevada; Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. Of course, we have visited Orlando and St. Augustine, Florida numerous times in the past year. I think the best part about it all is the fact that we have had the privaledge to travel with my parents and create new family memories!
Other than that, Kevin and I are still actively involved in our church. Over the past four months, we have been invovled in a class called Financial Peace University, which is by Dave Ramsey. We loved the class so much that we are getting ready to lead a Financial Peace University class. We are totally psyched about it, and are thankful for the opportunity to help others achieve financial peace!
So what does the future hold? Who knows (except for God)! We look forward to a relaxing summer, yet getting back into the swing of things in the fall. New undergrad classes for Kevin, a new job for me and who knows......maybe even graduate school in January! So until the next blog post, we are standing on Philippians 4:6, trusting that the Big Man up above has everything all under control!
