Going, going, gone...

Josh and I love to watch the sunset and there is always something a bit sad about the sun melting into the horizon. That is a little bit the way that we feel about summer coming to an end and the new school year already upon us. But as we look towards the future there are some exciting things ahead that we look forward to in anticipation. (more blogs to come!)

So to catch you up, what we have been up to is school. Josh already completed his first week of seminars for this semester and simultaneously started two new jobs. Needless to say he has started out sprinting and hopes that things will calm down a bit.

His seminars are really good and the program has expanded from 6 to 17 students in just one year!

Here is a picture of his new office for being the PhD Administrative Assistant, where he can also study, an added blessing (no more library cave).

I just finished a week of inservice with the other teachers at GGA and have been working on making our classrooms ready for the new year. I am really excited to be working with Aubrey, the lead 4 year-old teacher who is from Oklahoma (and Josh works with her husband), and a sweet part-time Korean named Rebekah, who is also pregnant with a girl about a month behind me. We will have a larger class than last year with 18 active kids each day and 28 total. I get to teach the Bible story this year and am very excited about it as the kids are already learning verses from God's Word!

Please pray for both Josh and me as we cannot do this semester in our own strength and know that God's grace is more than sufficient as long as we are dependent on Him. We want to grow closer to Him, to each other and to baby Mathews in this season of life.

Speaking of baby Mathews she is 1 1/2 lbs. and 8in from head to bottom and moving around like a little ballerina.
