Thankfully I am not talking about a way out of a tight financial situation! God has been amazing to Emilie and I in providing for everything we need. Car breaks and needs repairs, commission check comes in, medical bills show up, tax return comes back bigger than expected...
More thinking comes in though about which way is up when we think about what we are doing in the next few years. We have been halfheartedly looking for a new place to live. The apartment is good and there has been no more water or even seepage, so we seem comfortable to stick around. However we have our eyes set on a home. The though of it is a bit overwhelming but also so attractive for the things that we wold like to be able to do that we can't in an apartment. We would love to have a back yard, a garage, a garden, more than one bathroom, and a place we can make into our own. So we will continue to look when time allows and trust that God will lead us in te right direction.
Last weekend we were up in the Twin Cities for Emilie's younger Brothers Graduation from Bethel University. It was a beautiful weekend that was a lot of fun. It was great to visit campus (it is also where Emilie attended) see lots of friends and be with family out of town. It was a bit fo a whirlwind weekend with all the runing around but it was great none the less.
We have a bit of traveling comin up as well. Emilie and I will become Uncle Steve and Aunt Emilie on both sides of the family this year as her brother and sister in law are due in July and Mike and Mere are due in Oct? I should kow this, but it is farther off and we don't have airfare for phoenix yet, much less to DC. In addition we have weddings in Duluth MN, Michigan and one in the Chi.
