Congrats to my Hubbin...

We got a phone call this past Tuesday from Bay City Police Department. They have offered him what they call a conditional offer. Basically that means he will be given a position if he can pass a psychological exam and a medical exam. He goes in this coming Tuesday for both of those and uniform fittings after that. I do have to say that I am VERY proud of him and although it took a little longer than expected, he is happy too.

Once his medical/psychological exams come back, he will be given a "final" offer... which means he starts work. We've already searched the areas for places to live and actually found a house on 4 acres we are in love with. I'm sure by the time we get around to purchasing a home, that one will be off the market but it's great to know what we can look forward to.

I'll keep you updated if/when he gets the final offer. I keep saying "if" because I don't want to get my hopes up if something were to go wrong.

Our houseguest is gone. It's been a long few weeks. Brian and I have probably only had like 3 nights alone since moving into our new place, so it's going to be fun getting some alone time together here to explore everything. I'm glad we could provide a place for Mert to stay though... I'm sure it was easier for her to drive from here compared to where she lives. I tell you though, having 3 people here on 1 water bill is CRAZY compared to having 2 people. It doubled with one extra person! W O W...

I'm off... have a great night everyone!

I realized that everytime I update this... it's random. I think it's a fact that I am a pretty boring person...

Apologetics - A new found passion...

Random picture from 6/30/2009

The class I thought that was going to kill me, is actually not. It is a wondeful class that is really making me question why I am a Christian and what makes me who I am. I am able to ask myself, "why am I a Christian?" Is it because it was a popular thing people were doing at the time? I am able to see myself in a different light and it has just opened up my eyes greatly. Not only am I learning about myself, I am also learning about other world religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Scientology...etc. It's so interesting to see the difference in religions. I never thought I would be interested in such facts, but now that I am in the class, I am thankful for all I am learning. I never understood the whole idea behind apologetics, now I do.

I have realized that I am thankful for Liberty University. I enjoy being able to learn in setting where God is the center of the study. This university is really helping me see what kind of person I want to be. A career in Loss Prevention is something I have always wanted to do, however, after taking a few classes, I want to be able to do something that affects peoples lives. I want to be able to work with children who are hurting, lacking Jesus, committing crimes... I want to be able to reach out to them. Who knows what's in store for me now...
