New Job and new place
We are moving and I am starting a new job on the 20th. It has been a bit crazy here with packing, planning and saying goodbye to so many people at APU. I will definitely miss it here. I am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for Joey and I, I know it will be an amazing adventure!!!

What a day....what a week....what a month....
Where do I begin....well the month of May was a crazy month, on the 5th I graduated with my Masters in Education focusing on College Student Affairs and then the following weekend after that I married the man of my dreams and prayers.
The wedding was amazing and each day we receive new pictures from our photographers and friends from the wedding. If you follow the links below you can see the pictures from our photographer and her assistant.

When we returned from our honeymoon we began to settle in. We decided to move into a two bedroom apartment next door to some good friends of ours but that plan was put on hold when the place we were going to move into needed a lot of love and care from the property manager. They are still doing repairs and that plan is still on hold. I am currently trying to find a new job that would better use my masters. At this point I am doing 4 jobs with 5 supervisors and getting paid for 1. Needless to say each night I am very tired and beginning to feel that I am not using my $35,000 dollar education to good use. So I am looking in the field of student affairs and we will see where God takes us.
Joey is really enjoying his job. The school year just ended and now it is time for cleaning up and taking inventory on all of the remaining supplies that can be used for next year. He works for the THINK Together program which was founded in the Santa Ana/Costa Mesa area and his branch is based in Ontario. He is a site coordinator and has about 5 program leaders and 100 kids in the program. Each day brings its new challenges but he faces each one with a smile and a kind heart.
While we started to settle into our lives as a married couple our apartment building was hit by a drive by shooting during broad daylight during the lunch hour. Our next door neighbor had to have a bullet pulled from her balcony wall. Joey and I were glad we didn't go home for lunch like we usually do. Unfortunately, we have become even more apprehensive about living in the neighborhood we are in. I only pray that God will continue to keep us safe and open the doors for us to move on to our next step in his great and powerful plan.
So here we are sitting among many boxes, a cat slowly going insane by the craziness thrusted upon him and two people anxiously waiting for our next move.

The Beginning
This is going to be brief, but wanted to get this started. Joey and I were married on May 12, 2007 in Pasadena and have really enjoyed every minute of married life (even though it is barely 2 weeks). I will be sure to write some more as time goes on but for now, know that we are here and will be posting as time goes on.
