Prayers please!!!

So, this weekend Glenn and I went up to TN to see my dad and other TN family.  Overall it was a really good trip, much to my relief.  So, we are very happy about that!  We watched football all day yesterday, and I was the only one to go to bed happy!  Tennessee lost, Auburn lost, North Carolina lost....but Georgia won!!!  GOOOOO DAWGS!!!!  4-0...take that!!!  Also, some interesting facts I learned while watching the game... only 3 other teams have been moved down to #3 while remaining undefeated, and all 3 of those teams went on to win the national championship the year they were  moved to #3.  Interesting huh?!

Anyway, moving on.  Thursday, on our way up to TN, Glenn got a call from Rob (the money man for Mobilizing Students!) and Rob told us there is no more money, and that as of Nov. 1st there will be no more paychecks.  YIKES!!  Needless to say we are very overwhelmed, and very unsure as to what to do.  We are faithful that God will take care of us, and get us through this time.  However, we have some huge decisions to make.  So, please be in prayer for us, as Glenn and I try to decide what God has in store for us over the next several months, and for the rest of our lives.  Please pray that Glenn will find a job he likes, that will make us enough money to get by, and that God will show us where we should go from here.  We appreciate so much the support and prayers we have already received from friends and family, and we will keep you posted on this new chapter in our lives!

Fall break, travels, and marriage

I can't believe it is already Wednesday night of my fall break!!!  It's been very restful, productive, and a lot of fun.  I think I could easily get used to being a stay at home person! :)  So, last weekend we (the band, Mere, Brooklyn, and me) headed to Pensacola, FL to play at Glenn's uncle's church.  There were a decent amount of people there, and the band played for awhile, so it was a lot of fun!  I was able to watch the UGA/SC game at my in-laws house, and even though they are DIE HARD Auburn fans, there were helping me cheer on the Dawgs!  We headed home on Sunday after being stuffed full of amazing food prepared by Glenn's grandmother and mom...it was REALLY YUMMY!  

The rest of this week has consisted of cleaning the house, getting school work done (report cards, lesson plans, etc.), and hanging out with my sweet husband.  I have really enjoyed getting to spend all day with him everyday this week, I will really be sad to go back to work. 

In other news, our church has started doing a marriage series, and our Life Group is going a Song of Solomon study.  I am very excited about both of these, because you can always learn more about what makes a good marriage, especially since we are still new at this!  2 years does not make us experts by any means!!  So, needless to say, it will be fun and interesting to see where God takes us through these studies!  

Well, that's it for now!  Until next time....

Football Weekends

Well, so far the Dawgs are 2-0.  Take that all you naysayers! (who knows if I spelled that right!)  Anyway, we have had some fun football Saturdays so far.  Our living room has been converted into a sports bar of sorts, thanks to my football obsessed husband, who has rigged up 3 TVs so we can watch 3 football games at one time!  These TVs are not up all week long, they are only rigged up like this on Saturdays.  Men love it, women think it's ridiculous, I just think if that's what makes him happy, then it's fine with me! :)  Last week we had our friends Derrick and Lauren come over to cheer the Dawgs on to their victory over GA Southern, and today we had my friend Allison come up, and bring Bailey.  We cheered the Dawgs to victory over Central Michigan, while we played referee for our very rambunctious puppies!!  They had fun though, and should both sleep VERY well for the next couple of days! 

Tomorrow I will be going to see Glenn and the rest of the Momentum flag football team play their first game, so that should be fun.  There will be more updates on that later, apparently Glenn will be playing Wide Receiver...so we'll need to make sure he has very unslippery hands!!! :)  Also tomorrow, Glenn will be playing in the Momentum band, and leading worship in both services, so that will be fun.  It will also be a little weird, because I've never seen him play with anyone but the CWB...so we will be branching out!  

Only 1 more week until Fall Break!!!  YAY!!!  I am REALLY ready for a week off!!  I need to rest, regroup, and get ahead of the game (by more than just a day or two).  We will be going to Pensacola, to see Glenn's parents, and the CWB will be playing at a church down there....that is as long as Ike doesn't decide to land on PCola instead.  The tail-end of my fall break we will be going to TN to visit my Dad and family up there.  So even though it will be my "break" I won't be doing too much resting, since we will be pretty busy.  Oh, well, story of my life!!  

Until next time...GOOOOO DAWGS!!!  Enjoy watching us win!! :)
