Sorry It's Been So Long

Wow, so it's been a while since our last post. It annoys the heck out of me when people don't update their blogs for weeks on end! :) Not much to report, though. I am working on getting my substitute teaching license for Michigan so I can begin subbing. The extra income will help tremendously, even if it isn't much. I also turned my resume and application in to RBC Ministries in Grand Rapids. They are a Christian organization who produce "Our Daily Bread" devotional booklets, among many other things. The position I was applying for was already filled, but they seemed impressed with my resume and will keep it on file for a year. We'll see if anything pans out with that. Still living with the in-laws while we house hunt. Though it can be difficult at times, we certainly can't complain about the free rent! Our main prayer requests right now would be for wisdom in buying a house (of course!) and also for Jonathan's license. He has called nearly every resource in the Grand Rapids area and the cheapest rate he could find was $75/hr or so (and that was their discounted rate). So, we don't know what will happen, but we are trusting that God will provide. He did not bring us this far to desert us now! A huge praise is that our insurance begins on Wednesday! What a relief that will be. We are very excited because niece number three is due in another week! And we found out that Jonathan's sister, Katie, is expecting her third, which will bring the grand total to eight! And to think that when Jonathan and I started dating in 2000, he had just one niece! These Athearns breed like rabbits, I tell you! :)
