Trucks...?!?!?!?

Well now I believe I have seen it all! Yesterday we were in Northborough helping his sister get her books for college and then taking her to class. Well when we got back we drove by a "field" with a bunch of snow that had 2 trucks and 2 four-wheelers out there. I thought that was odd but was like whatever. Then Andrew said, you know that's a lake right?! I was like what the heck are trucks doing on top of a lake? They were plowing the lake!! Is not that not weird to anybody else? I truly believe now for certain that New Englander's do not have any common sense, lol. He said they plow sometimes to either make ice skating rinks or just for 4-wheelers to play on. If I had a plow, I wouldn't be so nice for 4-wheelers just to have fun on, maybe I'm just mean like that.

Well it's snowing here again today. It's been dry for about a week now. I didn't know that the weather had clear skies that long EVER up here!! We're expecting 3-6 inches by noon and then it's suppose to start raining. The weather up here is so weird, it just changes all the time.

Oh yeah, I was so excited the other day. As many of you know, Raider often injures me instead of Andrew (i.e. the huge bump on my head, bloody lips quite often, black eyes, etc.), well not this time!! A few days ago Andrew and I were playing around. Raider thought he was hurting me so he went to stop him. He ended up biting him, not breaking skin or anything, just enough to get his attention. Well the next day, Andrew had a huge bruise on him arm with a little tiny tooth imprint in the middle!! I know it's not much but I was laughing so hard!! I was like FINALLY!! Well that's all I have for now, talk to y'all soon...love y'all so much!!!!!!

Chruch

Well Andrew and I went to church yesterday morning for the first time since we've been up here. We tried going last week to the one that Andrew has that pending job for but they canceled due to the amount of snow. Anyway, there is this cute, tiny little church about a block away from Stacy's house so we decided to go to it. It started at 10 and we left while it was still going on at 12:45. I was like you have got to be kidding me. The worst part was since the church was so small, they had a VERY small parking lot where people doubled up. Needless to say we were blocked in!!! I was like man this church keeps getting better and better. So we had to walk back to Stacy's in the freezing cold and had to go pick up our car later. I guess there's no need in saying this but just to make sure y'all understand...we are not going back there again!! LOL!! My butt was so tired!!

Anyway, that's what the exciting thing that's been going on with us, sad I know. Please continue to keep us in your prayers as we find land the job that God has planned for us. We love y'all very much!!

Driving...ahhhhh!!

Well I have done it! I have officially driven in a snow storm. It's crazy. Yes I totally freaked out every time I slid out even a tiny bit!! It was beautiful but I was amazed at how sore you get because you're so stiff and uptight then entire time you're driving lol.

Well I'm disappointed to say I didn't get the job I was hoping for. I didn't have enough medical knowledge as the company wanted. I'm bummed but realize God obviously has something completely different in store for me. There is still a hope for Andrew. The church is meeting tomorrow to specifically talk about him...so everyone please pray for him. We are really wanting to follow God but we don't know where He is leading us at the moment.

Apparently God does have a sense of humor because apparently this weekend it's suppose to get as low as -15!!! That is the craziest thing I have ever heard. Anyway not much else is going on yet, will write back when there is more. Love you all!!

Freezing (literally) cold!!

Well I have experienced my first below zero weather and I'm not gonna lie....it really sucked. I can't even begin to explain how cold it is. It was miserable for real. You could put on as many layers as you could possibly think of and it didn't matter at all. What I couldn't figure out was how the stupid yankees were all out in the weather. I was like you are all freaking idiots!! I was amazed at how ridiculous they are. Then it snowed so if you weren't careful you'd be walking on snow and slip and fall because there was ice underneath it....another reason so just stay inside!!

Well I had my 3rd interview with the same company on Wednesday. I really feel that everything went really well. They told me it would probably take a little while but I'm getting very impatient...shocking I know!

Andrew has a possible job. It's so bizarre how God works in our lives. His boss from Irving Bible Church recommended this lady up here who has a lot of connections. Well apparently a guy who knew Gary (his former boss) and actually hired him whenever he lived in New England. Well the lady that has connections told this guy that Andrew wanted to work with children. So that guy called Andrew and has already checked his references. They need somebody asap and so we're crossing our fingers on that as well. Plus it's part time which would be perfect since we only have one car and he would still be able to go to school!!! So we're just praying a lot right now! Gotta run, talk to y'all soon...love you!!

My first...

Well I had the interview on Friday and as far as I could tell it went really well. I learned a lot more about the company and it appears they have a huge passion for helping the elderly. I think that is pretty cool so we're crossing our fingers really hard that it works out well!!! But I do have have another interview on Wednesday as well as job fair so hopefully that'll help as well.

I had my first gambling experience this weekend. Stacy (who we're temporarily staying with right now) lives really close to a casino so we decided to go check it out. I wanted to do 'the slots' so we spent $10. I got down to $5 and panicked so I cashed out. I went to a penny slot and it was called TEXAS TINA!!! How funny is that?! Well I ended up with $28 and immediately cashed out. I was freaking out. I was like how the heck do people gamble on a regular basis? I was a total wreck lol!!

Today we went to Gordon Conwell Seminary (GCS as I like to call it lol) where Andrew will start in the summer. It's very pretty but has a TON of hills so it's a little nerve-wracking when it gets icy. It has snowed quite a bit since I've been up here. It's really pretty but it reall is ALWAYS COLD!!! I won't even tell you what they're expecting the high's to be the end of this week. Okay I will...they're not expecting it to get into the double digits!! I was like are you freaking serious....that's just nuts!! Well I hope eveyone is doing great. Hope to hear back from y'all!!!

Snow

Hey everyone. Well I am currently in Maine right now visiting Andrew's sister. Her house is beautiful here but it is seriously freaking cold up here!!! Well like I mentioned in my previous blog that I had an interview on Monday. I didn't have the one on Tuesday due to the lady getting sick. Anyway, my interview went really well. It was a staffing company so it was pretty laid back. They had a job that they thought would be perfect for me. I had a phone interview with that company on Wednesday and tomorrow I have an actual interview with them. I'm pretty excited about that. As nice as it is to be doing nothing, I am ready to have a steady paycheck as well as our own place again. It's not so fun living out of suitcases and in a different bed every night.

Well as far as me adjusting, it hasn't set in that this is not just a vacation. I feel like we're just hanging out. I am DEFINITELY not a fan on the cold but that was to be expected I guess. Raider on the other hand seems to love it. We've been taking him out in the snow and he just hops around like a rabbit everywhere. Andrew will throw a tennis ball for Raider to fetch and he just dives for it. It really is very funny.

We've Arrived!

Well it's now official. I have moved to New England. I still can't believe we made it here. WHAT A TRIP IT WAS!!! We got into our 17 foot U-haul with our car towed behind us and our dog in the cab with us. We drove for just about 30 hours. We dropped off our dog in Connecticut as we were going on vacation with his family immediately. As we were leaving Connecticut we told the GPS to take us the quickest way to Andrew's parents' house. Well as we were headed back it began to snow pretty quickly as well as it made the roads pretty icy. We were going up one specific hill where a vehicle stopped halfway up. With the roads being as slick as they were, it was pretty much the dumbest idea ever to just stop. Needless to say, we had to slow down so we didn't hit him. After we slowed down, we realized we had no momentum or traction to get up the rest of the hill. Andrew floored it and the trailer began to jackknife. As he pressed the gas harder, the more we began to lose control of the trailer. We instantly began for God to protect us and give us a tiny bit of traction. After about 10 minutes of this, God gave it to us to get over the hill safely. We truly were seconds away from tipping over. I have 2 interviews in the next 2 days in actual downtown Boston. My next blog will be posting on the outcomes.
