Catching Up

(I think this should count for a few posts I should have entered a loooong time ago!)
ATM IN PROCESS:
Several times a day I have to write the words "ATM in Process" for part of the paperwork of my job behind the front desk at a bank. Even though this job seems pretty monotonous most of the time, I am trying to remember that who I am and what God is doing through me right now is just an evidence of his grace in process through me.

THANKFUL:
I am very, very thankful for so much in life right now:
* family both here (just the two of us) and far (both sets of parents and siblings all in michigan)
* new church, new friends, new experiences, and new learning in a new place.
* the way I'm growing into my new "job" as wife and partner
* having the time to pick up a new hobby (running) and encouragement from Aaron when I feel not-so-cool about it
* snow


IOWA:
It is really windy here. I suppose this is to be expected when you have a state as flat as a pancake and very few trees. I was running outside yesterday morning instead of using the treadmill in our cushy apartment gym and as the wind blew at me on all sides, I just marveled at how far I could see into the distance. It blows me away. ha.
Here is the Iowa dog that ran with me that one time:
And here are pictures from our Operation Christmas Child shoebox stuffing party. I was afraid of having an empty party, but luckily people came. (Lucky for both my pride and the kids who will get our shoeboxes).
