Mother's Day

Hi there,

I seriously don't understand how 30 days can go by so fast... : ) But it is time for another update on our lives. Let's see...


School
I am done with this semester, which means I have 3 months off before I start my last two classes in August. I really needed a little break, I had 14 classes since last January. As much as I like learning new things, I will be very happy once I am done! : ) I had to write 6 papers in 8 weeks for one of my last classes (which is not rare), and just the last two of these papers were 23 pages. 


Mother's Day
Chris bought me flowers and Amy gave me a Mother's Day card she colored in Sunday School. I am so thankful for my family! I would not be able to do school without Chris' support and Amy's awesomeness. I am so grateful for my loving and caring husband. He does not miss a day to tell me how thankful he is that we are married. He makes me so happy! What a blessing it is that we can spend the rest of our lives together. And we are so proud of Amy. She truly is an amazing child. We get compliments so often from friends and strangers alike! What an honor to be her mommy. 

Mom and Amy
(Amy was 6 months old here)

Mom is Coming
Talking about moms, my mom is coming to visit us next month! We are excited and cannot wait for her to come. I am sure Amy will love to be able to hug "mama" (grandma) for real (she likes to hug the laptop when we skype...). Mom will stay for a little over a month, and hopefully it will not be 100 degrees outside, so we can actually do things outside other than melt.



Church
There are 3 different universities in Terre Haute, so we have a lot of college students each year. Our church saw a need and started a ministry toward these students. I joined both the College Dinner and the College Bible Study when we moved here. Unfortunately we only had seniors in our Bible study group, so this Monday was the last time we had a Bible study with these students, though I really hope we will have new people join us next school year. I truly enjoyed being a part of this ministry.

God bless!
