Just kidding, I post more than quarterly... Right? I keep thinking I'll post pictures of our new place when I finally get the curtains made. It is taking quite a while for the fabric to get here though. I had a friend pick it up for me at the Dallas IKEA because I couldn't get it here. She's supposed to have sent it, so maybe it'll get here soon. I do have a sewing machine at home, but I don't have all the supplies needed for a big sewing project. That stuff is expensive! I've been saving up for something else, so I don't have the extra money for scissors, thread, cutting mats, rotary cutters, pins, etc. right now. So I've decided to rent a couple of hours of sewing machine time at the store where I took my first sewing class. They let you use all the supplies and thread you need! You just bring your fabric. So this will tide my over while I save up for what I really want. And then I'll be able to take pretty pictures of our new place. Beca...

Jason made it through the phone interview and will be having an in-person interview on Tuesday or Wednesday next week. We're both really excited, and he's feeling positive about his chances. I'll let you guys know when we have a specific time! As always, prayers are much appreciated. This is an amazing opportunity for Jason.

Jason has a phone interview in the morning at 9 am Mountain time. For all you Texas folks, that's 10 am your time! We are praying hard and asking for another interview! Please pray for Jason to speak with wisdom and that the people talking to him in the phone interview to get to really know him for who he is. I'll post an update when we hear anything!

I don't think I had written about it yet, but Jason applied for a job recently. It would be a perfect job to bridge his ministry experience with his new career field. He's working on his masters in Instructional Design and Adult Learning. Well, he got through the first round (basically, turning in the application and getting a call) and the second round (he had to answer a few really in depth questions and email them in), so now he has an interview coming up! We aren't sure when it's going to be yet because it seems like the department is really busy, but it should be in the next two weeks. We're so excited and hopeful and very much appreciate prayers that he will get the job. I have been praying that they will see Jason with favor and that this will be Jason's opportunity to get experience outside of ministry. Thank you for your prayers during this time of waiting before the interview! When he finds out when it is, I'll post it on here.

Oh, bad blogger. I'm so terrible at blogging. Seriously. I know I'm going to wish I had been blogging though in the future, because I always have trouble remembering past events. I love going back to read my blog from when Jason and I first got married, and even the first year we lived here in Colorado. It's so much fun to see what I was thinking about. So I'll try again. I updated my last post with what we've finished around the house. Honestly, it's been slow going lately. Since we spent two full weeks painting the place and then spent a whole week moving in, we haven't really felt motivated to do anything else. Blerg. I did however, FINALLY pick out some fabric for our curtains downstairs! Unfortunately, it's only available at IKEA and ours doesn't carry it. It was at the Dallas IKEA though, and my lovely friend Liz offered to pick it up for me. Here are the two fabrics I picked out for our two giant windows (one of them is a sliding door) downs...
