It's been a while since I posted and for those of you reading, I apologize. This last month took Kate and I for a ride and it's only starting to level out somewhat now. Here's a brief overview since my last post:
- I got engaged to the lovely Kate Wolfe on July 4th under the fireworks in Corolla, North Carolina just after we saw wild horses on the beach.
- We started planning a 200 attendant...then 100 attendant wedding in Wayport, Mass.
- Still looking for jobs - I'm trying to finish up the Graffiti site asap.
- Mostly finish graffitiministries.com and head to Buffalo, NY
- enjoy the original buffalo wings with some Go ED. friends at Anchor Bar in Buffalo
- attend a marriage seminar
- hung out with some homeless people
- worked out twice
- Headed from Buffalo NY to Cape Cod, Mass. for a week vacation with the Wolfe family
- had lobster for the first time
- got to master the skim board
- hung out with the Wolfe gang
- Came home and started working on the Go ED. site
- a week and a half's worth of 12 hour days!
- I get a call from a business inquiring me for a potential interview for a full-time with benefits job in Chesepeake, VA (40,000+ yearly -- super good opportunity)
- Kate got a job as a Teacher's Assistant
- We agree on a small, immediate family wedding in Corolla
- Kevin finally calls the rest of his party
- I fly to Phoenix, present the website (or 1/2 of it b/c it wasn't fully finished)
- I get a call in the airport and am offered the Video Production Assistant Job
- They love it and offer me a year Maintenance Contract which we're currently working out the details
- Have lunch with Grandma and Pa Kirchner which was so nice and encouraging - also came back with 3 bags of Grandma and Pa cookies!! (the best!)
- I fly home and see Kate for what SEEMS like the first time in 2 1/2 weeks
- We decide on a local wedding to save on gas, hotel reservations, and locale rentage
- Kate and I watch The Dark Knight and liked it but it had a lot of killing in it and we both hadn't really gone out to watch a movie this whole summer b/c of lack of mulah so it kind of hit us hard - plus it was a little late at night...
- We started WORK! Kate ended up as a Librarian Assistant which will be awesome and right now I'm a temp webmaster and Video-Production-Assistant-to-be with the hopes of getting an interview for a full-time job.
And now we wait - Wait to get our paychecks, wait to make friends, wait to get a place of our own, wait to get married - lots of crazy ups and downs and now...waiting patiently.
Lord give us strength, joy, and contentment in the moment where You have put us now.
Amen
