Update

It is mid-May and summer is upon us already! David finished up his semester at DTS a week ago and started work at the elementary school he worked for last summer today. We are very excited that he will be working there again - he loves the job, the people he works with and the hours. He will also be keeping two shifts a week at the Sheraton, so hopefully he will only be gone two nights a week!

We spent the weekend after David's finals (Mother's Day weekend) on the East Coast celebrating David & Andrea's wedding in Pennsylvania. We were also so blessed to be able to stay with Kendra & Greg in Virginia while we were there, which is only a couple hours away from the wedding site. Such a blessing to be able to get away for a few days and spend some time with friends. Kendra and Greg took us to Baltimore to a Yankees-Orioles game and to the harbor for dinner - so much fun!

Nothing too new to report on the job front for Lindsay except that she is still looking! She has been looking for positions in the social services and administrative fields and has one interview pending for an administrative assistant position. It is a full-time position that is very close by, with decent salary and possible benefits. So it seems like a good position, it would just mean the possible closing of the door to pursuing a job in the psych field, at least for now. We are praying and confident that God will provide in his perfect timing and know that wherever it may be it will be a blessing, especially with the current job market.

David was also recently in a minor car accident (hit-and-run, but he is fine!) which resulted in the loss of his car, so we are down to one for the time being. It has been a challenge, but is doable so far. We are praying that Lindsay might find a job that is close by.

We also just started attending a young couples group at church and are excited for the friendships we will hopefully build through that. And we are attempting to start running/exercising on a more regular basis, although we will see what happens now that David will have to leave for work at 7:45am...=)

If you'd like to be praying for us, here are some bullet points for you:

- Lindsay's job situation
- Car situation
- Enjoy & honor God with the time we have now before Lindsay is working
- Keep spiritual growth a priority
- Finances
- Forming new friendships

Thanks, we love you all =)
