- NEW VIDEO: Poppy and Henry Playing
I've been checking our mail everyday for the past several weeks hoping everyday to open up our little mailbox here at Timberline and find lying there an envelope yielding the logo of Southeastern Seminary. Yesterday was that day, and as you can probably guess from the title of this post, I've been accepted! Well, on a conditional basis that I first graduate from WVU. So, all I have to do is kick one more semester of WVU flat in the teeth and we'll be off to Wake Forest to engage in philosophical and theological anti-pelagian pauline polemics! Bam! That's exciting, and we're excited about getting an "upgrade." What means this? Well, we really feel like it will be an upgrade to move to North Carolina and carry on to the next stage of our lives: Emily back to nursing school. Me to seminary. And who knows except God alone what that future holds?! I wonder how much upcoming excitement he sees in our lives. That we may always love his command. =)Â
Whoever thinks that they can move all their stuff/junk in one day is supremely mistaken. Emily and I thought when my parents brought up a U-Haul, we could just chuck everything thing in there and that would be the end of it; but, since the U-Haul, we have made 3 more trips to the old apartment on Donley Street. Today, Tuesday May 2, we consider ourselves moved to our new, wonderful, clean, neutral, spacious, air-conditioned 818 Timberline apartment.
We checked our new mailbox for the first time yesterday and found a letter from HealthSouth addressed to Emily offering her a brand-spanking new, scrub-wearing job! It's looking like she'll start on or around May 15th. Other things we've received recently in our mailbox include a wedding invitation to celebrate the union of one Matthew Duane Maust to Christina Brie Ann Salyer. The "honor of [our] presence [was requested] on Saturday, the twentieth of May two thousand and six at eleven o'clock at Memorial Baptist Church in Beckley, West Virginia." That all translates to May 20th @ 11:00am. What fun that day shall entail for both families as we celebrate this magnanimous Caucasian occasion.
Wow, it has been almost a month since our last update. We've been a little bit busy. Last week was WVU's Spring Break and Emily and I went with the Baptist group here on campus, WVUMCM, down to Charleston, WV, for the week. We stayed at West Charleston Baptist Church and ministered alongside them to the homeless, hungry, and helpless. It was an eye-opening experience not in the sense that we saw people in conditions unimaginable but…
After 11 months of immigration madness, we are pleased to back together again and starting our life together in Morgantown, WV. I am finishing my penultimate semester of university at WVU, and Emily (at the moment) is waking up at 1pm, lounging on the couch, and studying to take her driver's test.
