Hello to Lori. I think you may be the only person who might see this.

Well I'm one semester closer to graduating from UK. Getting my MSW here for those who didn't know. I'm doing my first practicum at an international adoption agency, so that's pretty sweet. Bobby and I are still kicking it and loving the married life. Sure, it has its downs but he is such a terribly terrific friend and husband- he gets me to talk when I'd just rather shut down and sometimes I'm mad about it but then I realize what a blessing it is that he actually wants to talk through things. I have a nasty habit of not talking so much as either shutting off or flaring up. Bobby is helping me to work on that. If I'd slow down and pray more readily sometimes I'd actually allow the Holy Spirit to help as well. We've working on that too.

We really enjoy our church down here still, though we both admit that we pine for Lakeside and our friends and family there on a regular basis. We still love our Sunday school and it's grow a lot in the past several months. Check it- they're going to start letting women lead prayer in the class. Yeah, they have some serious traditional things that they stick with but our class leader (who recently became an elder as well) is willing to challenge things that have more to do with tradition than actual elements of the church.

Our midweek small group has also increased. We've slip into two groups and we keep growing. Its great. Bobby is making beef stew this week. mmm. We're in Acts now and its tough. I lead this week and dread it a bit. Beth, who usualy facilitates, reminds me I don't have to have the answers. I have problems with that but I know its true. We have a visiting student form Jordan who's getting her PhD in Nursing at UK. I'm interested to learn more about her background. I think she is new to studying Christianity but I'm not sure. Sometimes I'm afraid to ask. Anywho, we need a huge map of the world so I can learn all the countries and pray them by name. Who new I'd ever become interested in geography. ha.

In other news, our apartment floors have been sinking in sort of since we moved in and we don't need the spare room (for what we pay for it) so we're moving in a month. We like the new place, its still close to eveything we're close to now plus a huge park will now be across the street calling me to walk through it at least every other day. I'm looking forward to that. 

I spend way too much time with my face in a book (not facebook, a book) and I like this semester better than last, even though my anxiety is at time sky high. Psychopathology is very intersting but confusing at times.

We don't watch TV so I just heard about this today. Desiringgod.org was one of the first things that came to mind. We've been wanting to go to Minneapolis to hear John Piper speak for several months. John provides a section at the bottom of the webpage for anyone who wises to comment on his blog.
