I haven't been on here that much because I have been spending my time doing other productive things? Like sleeping in, and watching t.v. HAHA! And since I am using my dads computer to access the Internet....I don't get a lot of time to blog. I have done a couple of things so far this summer. James and I have taken our doggies to the park twice and both trips lasted 2 hours! That is a lot of walking! I wish I could take Maggie but she is crazy in public and can't walk for too long. James and I also went out for his sister's 25Th birthday. It was our first "bar" experience and we actually had a lot of fun. There was a great Mexican band and we danced our toes off! It was great! James and I of course didn't drink but everyone knows we don't need alcohol to have a great time. It was so much fun!
I am also back on the diet. After much celebration of being home and eating wonderful food...I have gained 6 pounds and I have to get into my bridesmaid dress that I ordered a little snug! Oh the joy of hunger and pain(from working out). My two least favorite words!
In other news, James is in the middle of possibly getting a part time youth minister job that would start in August.
The Pros:
1)Most importantly James and I both feel that it would be a great opportunity to share the love of God and feel that this is something we are both ready for and excited for.
2)It is a job that pays $800-$1,000 a month equaling to around $10,000 a year. (it would be a year-round job) This would be a great help to our future since he would be able to save most of what he earns.
3)I could possibly get paid for helping him!
4)It is great experience for both James and I.
5)James would only work on weekends. There would be someone else working during the week. All of the youth activities are done on weekends though.
The Cons:
1)It is a tremendous responsibility and a lot of work to balance with school and coming home.
2)It is a year-round job so James' summers would be spent in Valdosta a lot.
3)It is a 40 minute drive from Valdosta.
James and I have a lot of great ideas for what we feel God would want for this church if James does get the job. It seems like it is almost for sure that he will have the job. We are just praying that it is what is best for everyone.
That is about it on what's been happening lately. Mom and I are going down to Valdosta on Friday to meet my new roommate. I have met her before but she wanted to get into the apartment and show it to her mom. And we are planing to go to the beach for a day or two while we are down there!
YAY summer!
