Schooling
Chad has just begun his second year at Southern Seminary. It is incredible to see him growing and learning more about being in the ministry. I am so thankful for the professors here who are in his life and ministry. This semester he is taking Greek, Systematic Theology III, and an internship with our senior pastor, CJ Mahaney. We are so thankful for this opportunity for him to be poured into by such a humble, caring, and Godly pastor. I am taking a couple of classes this semester through the Seminary Wives Institute on campus. Many of the professors' wives teach the courses to help prepare the wives for serving along side their husbands. It has been a great way of getting to know other women on campus and also hear encouraging words of God's grace in their lives.
Work
Back in January, Chad was given the amazing opportunity to work along side some of the men of our church selling furniture for really great prices. It has been a blessing for him to be able to work full time and attend school full time through this job. I am nannying the two boys (4 years old & 1 years old) from a previous post still. It's a little nuts to think I have been there a little over a year and I am so thankful to still be there. The boys have grown so much and so have I. This job has been one of the best preparations for when Chad and I do have kids. The family is absolutely wonderful and thankful for how they have taken us in and loved on us.
For Fun
We love going for walks around our community, trying new local food places, playing cards, reading new books, cooking and baking (Chad likes the eating part), fellowshipping with sweet friends and their families, coffee dates, crafting, watching Parks and Recreation on Netflix, visits to the Louisville Zoo, playing basketball on campus, and the list could go on. :)
Fall
Tomorrow marks the first day of September which brings many exciting things to my mind. September means it's my birthday month which is full of happiness! It also means that fall is right around the corner bringing in my favorite clothes, food, football, cool weather, smells, trees changing, Thanksgiving, apple picking, and cardigans! Listed below are some fun fall favorites or things to try!
01 // Vests- oh how cozy this outfit looks!
02 // Cool weather means soups galore! Chad's mom makes the best corn chowder and I cannot wait to make it in a few weeks. (picture borrowed from pinterest)
03 // Georgia Southern Football
04 // Fall Scented Candles. Really want to try this Apple Pumpkin candle from Yankee Candle
05 // Picking apples and pumpkins at this cute orchard, Huber's Farm.
06 // A great book to consider reading is Women of the Word by Jen Wilkin. I am thankful for how the Lord has used her to help us understand what it truly means to study God's word. The way she writes is as if she was speaking to you as a genuine and encouraging friend.
Hope you have a sweet Labor Day friends!
XOXO
