BACK HOME

Check it out, I apparently haven't posted since October...ouch.

Shoot I apparently haven't even gotten online on anything except my phone in a month or two.  So I'm just now breaking my iPad back out, and theres a few small red drops on my keyboard...I'm trying to remember if I had a nose bleed the last time I using this.

Anyway, a lot has happened since October. And I know my posts in the Fall probably weren't the most compelling reads because they were mostly assignments. 

That said, they were very valuable assignments for my development as a believer in Christ.

So a little update on where life has taken Polly and I - we've landed on our feet (barely) in Shreveport, Louisiana. As most of you know, we moved to Alaska last summer, and then enrolled in a Bible Institute in Missouri last fall.  We graduated from the Institute in April, and worked at a summer christian sports camp for inner-city high schoolers until July 7th. 

On Monday, July 9th we started renting an apartment in Shreveport.  I will start a job (my first "real job") with the United Way as a campaign coordinator on August 6th.  I'm excited!  Polly is hoping to land a job teaching at an elementary school.  She's excited!

After visiting Denver, Oklahoma City and seriously considering New Orleans, Polly and I felt that we were supposed to move to Shreveport.

I never thought I would move here, and I especially never thought I would be pumped about it.  I'm here though, and I don't think I would be as excited to live anywhere else (yeah, even Juneau) because we know that this is where we are supposed to be. Several people back home and in Juneau have expressed disappointment that we didn't head back north, and I'd say we definitely left part of our hearts up there.

We've fiercely missed Louisiana tho.  


So now Polly and I are finishing up moving in, and I'm working on being less selfish and more romantic.
I absolutely adore my wife - I'm just needing to grow in the way I serve her. #realtalkforasec

So get in touch with us if you are in Shreveport.  We'd love to hangout.  We also love mail, which you could send to our new address: 257 1/2 Kings Hwy, Shreveport, LA, 71055. >>>don't drop by unannounced because unannounced visitors get greeted w a 45.   #notagoodlook
