"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!" -Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

NCAA Brackets

So, Adam and I made our brackets for the tournament and let me just say, I never knew how competitive I was until this! We made them with our small group and surprisingly, I am in 1st place! Now, that all might change with the next couple of rounds coming up, so I guess we'll see!

On another note, we have begun our spree of packing up to move into our new house. We have so much stuff, most of it we have never used since we've been married! Packing is definatly a process! Anyway, just wanted to give a little update and I'm sure I'll be updating a lot more frequently because we've got a lot going on in the next few weeks! Until then...adios!

It's Official!

Well, it's FINALLY OFFICIAL!!! Adam and I will be moving into our new house the weekend of March 28th! Our loan finally went through on Friday and Adam called me to tell me the great news. This has definatly been a blessing because we did not have a plan B!

Last night, Adam and I started packing some things that we don't really use. We started in the kitchen and I never realized how much stuff we really have. I mean, we've already packed up 15 boxes of kitchen stuff that we haven't used since we've been married! I think we underestimated how much stuff we really do have.

On another note, church was amazing yesterday! Pastor told us that we wouldn't want to miss it because a special guest would be in the house. Adam and I were wracking our brains on who it could be (Adam guessed Josh McDowell). Our guesses were wrong. It was the music director for all of the Billy Graham Crusades, Cliff Barrows. Before yesterday, I have never heard of him, but they showed a slideshow of his life and man, he really is a legend! He has been with Billy Graham since his Crusades started and they are still the best of friends. Mr. Barrows really gave our generation a peek into what his generation was like and it was amazing. He prayed over our congregation and for our Pastor and the staff at Elevation. It was definatly encouraging seeing an 85 year old man still walking strong with the Lord and saying that his best days have yet to come! It was a blessing for Adam and I to have the privledge to sit and listen to him! We can really learn a ton from the generation before us and I believe we need to open our ears and listen!

Anyway, time for work...have a great day!

Confessions

I just have to take this moments and confess. I am probably one of the biggest fans of American Idol. I know it's bad, but it's one of those shows you just can't help but watch. Now don't get me wrong, Adam is as much of a fan as I am! Because of our crazy weeks we normally don't get to watch it on the nights it comes on, so we DVR it and watch it on Saturdays. Ahh...I feel better getting that off my chest...! Well, to be honest, there's others....Life of Ryan, Project Runway, and pretty much any reality show. Ok, now I feel better!

Anyway, on another note, I cheered at the Bobcats game last night and I got to meet our Pastor, Steven Furtick along with the Associate Pastor, Chunks Corbett. I saw them walk in with some of the guys Adam and I wash dishes with at Calvary and he introduced me to them. They were very nice, and it was an honor to meet them. I was sad that Adam couldn't be there to meet them also.

Ok, well, I'm going to finish watching American Idol (AI)!

This is it!

Yay!!! We've found it! **sigh** This house is absolutly perfect! The Lord has truly blessed us with something so amazing! I really don't know what to say about this house other than it's perfect! Adam and I are so excited about everything. We spent 2 hours in their offices signing paperwork for the agreement and will be back in their offices March 28 to close!! Keep us in your prayers that we may continue to make the right decisions and for the Lord to continue to guide us the way He wants us to go!

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." -Proverbs 3:5-6
