It's official!!!

Last week Andy got the official offer for a new job with AT&T! We were pretty sure he would get the job after his interview a few weeks ago but they were still waiting on background checks before they could make the official offer. Thankfully everything came back clean and he is set to start on July 30! He is so excited! Not only does this job pay more than his last position with AT&T, but it is the kind of work he loves to do. The Lord has really blessed!

It's been a rough 6 months for us. First with Andy getting sick and spending time in the hospital and a month of home healthcare. Then getting laid off the day he was well enough to go back to work, and 5 months of unemployment. It has seemed like one trial after another and it can be easy to get discouraged and wonder why all this i happening to us, but through all of this God has shown us that HE is in control, not us, and we need to trust Him.

One of my newest favorite songs is called For my good, and for His glory. It talks about how every trial we go through is ultimately for our good, but also to bring glory to God. He is the one who has been there with us through it all and we are so grateful for all He has taught us through it all.

In other news, I'm am registered for Fall semester classes! I've had to put college on the back burner for the past year but the doors have opened for me to go back this year and I'm SO excited!!!

Well that pretty much brings you up to date on our lives!

Talk to ya'll later!

Oh wait!!!!........Also this past week Andy and I celebrated our 10 month anniversary! I can't believe how fast it has gone by! It will one year before we know it!!! :)
