Yet Another Checklist Full of Answered Prayers

Josh and I have officially been in Ohio for over a month now, and so far, we love it! It has been amazing, and we have been blessed in ways unimaginable. Last Sunday, I actually found a list of things dated May 29th I had been praying for prior to the move:
We are blessed.
- A House with a yard in a safe neighborhood
- A Job where I can really reach and love on women who don't feel loved
- A Job that pays for Josh's school and gives him experience
- Great winter coats
- Encouraging and fun Friends
My exact list. Word for word. How my life is now:
- I live in a nice duplex with a backyard in a safe, family neighborhood! And let me tell you, after trying to find a house that was big enough for us and in a good location and one that allowed dogs, we were extremely lucky. There are very few of those out there...
- Jobs: oh my! I cannot begin to explain how happy I am. I have TWO jobs, and both are amazing. In the mornings, I work for a nonprofit called First Glance doing their fundraising and grant writing. And to answer the second part of the job prayer, First Glance helps out the at-risk kids, including teenage moms! <3 Then in the afternoons, I work at the Wildlife Bird Center of Hudson--which has gotten me into my newest hobby of bird watching (Check out my bird blog!) The customers are incredible, and it is seriously the best retail job I can ever imagine existing.
- Josh is teaching classes at Kent State and able to cover his tuition! Woohoo!
- No winter coats, but people have offered to take me shopping to show me what winter coats work best here.
- No crazy games of Quelf or Jungle Speed yet, but we have met some incredible people. Because of one encouraging friend, I have the job at First Glance. And new opportunities to meet people are everywhere.
We are blessed.
Growing Up and Moving Out

Both Josh and I have lived in Georgia our entire lives with the exception of one summer--and that summer I only traveled as far as Tennessee and Josh as far North Carolina. But now the north is calling to us with the promise of a good education and more opportunity. So Ohio, here we come!
The move will bring about a lot of changes. We know no one there right now, and besides Josh knowing where he will be at school, we have nothing. No friends. No jobs. No house. No church. And possibly no washer or dryer. We should be stressed out, but with the exception of some nervousness on my part yesterday, we're not. We have yet to be in a situation where God has not provided for us, and we both have faith He'll pull through for us once again.
It's going to be a journey, but I think it'll be a fun one.
Josh's Near Death Experience

Josh tries practicing his photography in the kitchen. |
Slipping on an old sock, Josh falls to the floor. |
Caesar, thinking Josh is harming his sock, comes to the rescue of his dear cotton friend. |
Caesar first goes for the eyes. Impairing your opponent's vision always gives you an advantage. |
Then Caesar goes for the jugular. |
He shows no mercy. |
But at the last minute he hears a knock which he thinks is coming from the door but is actually from the TV, so he runs away. |
