Apartment News

Well....our application has been accepted. So, we are finally settled on a place to live. That is somewhat of a relief to know that we have a place to live. Of course, we still have moving to get through in August. I'll make sure to send our new address to everyone by email or mail. I can't believe we only have a month and a half left till we move...unbelievable!!!

Apartment Hunting

This coming weekend we are traveling across the state to look for housing. We have a long list of possible places and are praying that the Lord will show us where He'd have us to be. We did hear from Grad. school's financial aid department, and we did get the full amount one can get from the government for subsized loans--meaning that we don't have to pay interest until we are out of school. But that is only part of the money that we need. So, we'll be looking at other loans to cover the rest. We know that Lord will supply what we need and we look to Him for that provision. We also have a moving date now....August 17-18th. Things are getting closer and the move is becoming more and more real to us each day. One other thing that we'll be looking at is a church plant in the area that our home church supports. We plan to visit there on Sunday, June 18th to see if that is where God would have us to be members. So, if you think about it, pray for us that the Lord would show us what He'd have us to do.

Piano Recital

At the end of May, I had my annual piano recital with Karen, one of my friends from church who also has students. We made it through without anyone stopping and crying while playing their songs....always such a relief! Everyone did very well and we had quite a few people at the recital too. This one was different though in that fact that I'm leaving. It's hard to give up my students to others since I feel so responsible for their learning. But I'm grateful to have had them for so long and hopefully I have instilled in them a good foundation for other teachers to build on.
