so much has happened....

I can't believe it's December already!!! This last semester went by so fast. I will start with the most important...we are moving!!! Shaun got a job as a Youth Pastor at Mountain View Baptist Church in Spearfish, SD. It's been a long process but it was worth it. We have definitely grown in our faith and patience. Spearfish is beautiful and the church we will be working with is amazing. We fell in love with the people the first time we got to visit it. Just recently we went there again to meet the church. It was an amazing weekend, and we didn't want to leave. Yesterday the church voted, and everything went well. We are so excited!!! December 19th will be our last day in Bemidji, so I have lots of packing to do:) Part of me is sad and scared. This is all I know about living in US. The whole time I've been in this country I spent at schools. Now I get to be an adult. Also, I have to leave my friends:( We have grown so close in the last few years and now we have to say goodbye...but I guess that's life. It will be hard but I also know that there are wonderful people waiting for us in Spearfish.

I can't believe I have been in this country for five years...there have been so many changes. I have changed...I grew up!!! There have been so many people that I met who influenced my life in many ways. I got to finish college...a Christian college!!! With a degree I always wanted...I married the most amazing men and we have the cutest baby boy. I can't believe I'm a wife and a mother...and now I will be pastor's wife...it's so weird to think about it, because just yesterday I was wondering what it would be like to be 25!!! We are starting a new chapter of our life and we need your prayers...Please pray for our new life in Spearfish...I need to find a part-time job...and Hudson might need to go to daycare...please pray that Shaun would get accomodated in his new job quickly and that I would also accomodate to being pastor's wife:) We would appreciate your prayers...

Something else new...I finally got my Green Card interview scheduled for January...yay:) So you can pray about that too...that it would go well!!!
