YAAAAY!  Praise God!  Isaac got a job offer from Compassion International!  He has accepted it and he's supposed to start on December 15th!  He graduates on December 12th, and we will be moving immediately to Colorado Springs, Colorado.  We're very thankful for the Lord's provision... and excitedly looking forward to how He's going to use us in Colorado Springs.

Isaac graduates from Weber University in December of this year. He's been applying for jobs, and he has an upcoming interview for the job he really wants (with Compassion International) on November 14th. We ask for your prayers that the Lord will give us His direction for our future, and that He would continue to provide for us.  Thanks!!

Here's a picture of our front yard during the first snow of the new season...

Brr!  Last night we had quite a cold front.  It was 33 degrees when Isaac left for work at 6:45 this morning!  Wow.    I tell you what, this isn't what I'm used to!  But it's neat, so far.  The cold weather is making me think of Christmas though.  Today at lunch I made spaghetti and salad, lit the Christmas scent candles, and turned on Josh Groban's "Noel" CD.  Ahhh, Christmas is in the air!    Too bad it's still 2.5 months away, also.    Ah w ...

He thinks I hung the moon and the stars
I think he's a livin' dream
Well, there are men
But ones like him
Are few and far between

Mama, he's crazy
Crazy over me
And in my life is where he says
He always wants to be
I've never been so in love
He beats all I've ever seen
Mama, he's crazy
He's crazy over me

Well, we had a wonderful visit to see my family and now we're back home.  Lots of catching up to do now!  Isaac's last semester of school has started in full swing.  We're also both working.  Pretty busy! 

The Lord is teaching me that His power is perfected in weakness.  Lately He's been reminding me that:

1. When I am at my weakest, He will give me the strength I need, if I ask. 
2. When He does that, I am able to do things that I couldn't do in myself.
3. Then, He receives glory because, in my weakness, His power is perfected.

Yaaay, we're going to get to make a trip home to see my family in THREE days!!!  *celebrates*  I'm so excited!!

Isaac and I have been married for over a month now.  Sweet!!  God has been SO good to us.  We're so happy!    Thanks to everyone who has been praying for us - both before the wedding and now during all the changes.  We appreciate it so much!  The Lord gave us a DREAM wedding... it was so perfect.  We're so thankful for everyone who came and everyone who helped make it our day to remember!

Immediately after the wedding, Isaac and I headed to Branson, MO, where we had a one-week honeymoon in a cabin on the lake.  It was lovely.  It was quiet and peaceful.  Ideal spot!    After that we headed up to Iowa to v ...

One week from tonight, Isaac will be here... and the only goodbyes we'll have to say before the wedding will be when we go our separate ways for the night and a few hours in the day.  No more "endless airports full of the love that you deserve."  Wow, that sounds amazingly wonderful.  Yep, he's coming to town and will be staying in the area until the wedding.  Praise God!  I'm so ready.  Seems like it's been months since I've been with him.  I don't think my mind has grasped the reality of the fact that we're going to be TOGETHER ALL THE TIME soon.   Totally unbelieveable.   

Things seem to be moving along…at a rather slow pace, but moving none the less. As those of you who are married know the countdown to the big day seems to drag out longer the closer it gets. But it does feel good to be on the final stretch.

A couple weeks ago I was able to visit Rachelle during my spring break for three days. I ...
