March has turned out to be a much better month! The best thing that happened was that I got a new job!!! I just started this past Monday at Shoreline Chiropractic as the Chiropractor's Assistant. I absolutely love what I am doing and love the people I work with! It is a christian-based practice and this is evident in every aspect of what they do. It is a lot of transitioning to new hours and learning a new position but this is a complete gift from God!
The other good thing about this month is that Matthew and I haven't been sick at all. And that brings me to another great benefit of my job. We will both be getting care and will have opportunities to learn a lot about how to be more healthy and choose more natural options regarding food and medicine. This is a direction we were headed towards anyway so it is nice that now it is part of my job description!
A downside to the new job is that I work no where near the Drinka's now so there isn't the convenience of stopping by my sister's on the way home or spending the evening with them after work. We are just going to have to get more intentional about planning time together. My nephew is growing so fast that it is hard to only see him on a weekly basis. (I know... I am lucky compared to a lot of his family... but I am used to seeing him so much more!!) Luckily it looks like we will have them for the day this Sunday!
This month hasn't been too eventful for us beyond the new job. But we have definitely seen once again that God is faithful to provide for His people. Thank you all for your prayers this last month!!
God Bless!

Tuesday, March 3, 2009
Welcome to our new blog! I wasn't able to make some changes to the format of our previous blog and I really wanted to make our blog more pretty... thinking that having a pretty blog might help me update it more often... I guess we will see! :)
So here it is! I sometimes am not sure what to write on hear but know that there are people out there that are interested in the everyday happening of our lives and want to do a better job keeping them updated.
We have had an interesting start to 2009, January was relatively uneventful. Matthew and I decided to just spend New Years at home the 2 of us. At first it felt a little lame but at the end of the day... or I guess the next morning... I realized that 2008 was QUITE a year for us to say the least and it was fun to bring it to an end and ring in 2009 at home, just the 2 of us.
February was and probably will always be a crazy month for us. It started with our 1 year anniversary. We did not get to do every thing we hoped to because we were trying to be a little financially conscious because my job was not very stable. Our plans also changed because the weather got yucky and I got sick. BUT none of that really mattered. I loved just getting to spend an entire day with Matthew by my side celebrating us and what this last year has meant. I am continually blessed to have a man by my side who loves the Lord as much as Matthew does. Who leads me and loves me. Who puts up with my weird quirks and stubborn tendencies.
The day after our anniversary I ended up loosing my job. It was such a hard moment as I absolutely loved what I did and the people I worked with. There were tears on both ends and I know that it was not an easy decision for them to make. I am grateful that things ended as well as they did and that many of the relationships I built there are continuing strong! I have dealt with a lot of emotions because of this. The only way I could explain it at first was that I was sad. I wasn't mad at anyone or bitter, I really didn't even deal with any worry right away, I was just sad that I was going to have to let go of a position I loved so dearly and that I wasn't going to get to see people everyday that meant so much to me. I have since then really felt a lot of excitement. I am so thankful for the season I had in my previous job. I learned so much and met so so so many amazing people and was truly blessed to be a part of their lives. But I know that God's hand was in this and that this door closed because He has something wonderful in store for me. I am still searching for a job... and it isn't an easy time to be doing so but I have some exciting leads and am praying that a door will open for me.
February has also been crazy because of my birthday, Valentine's day, and a joint birthday party with my sister. AND on top of all of that.... from pink eye, to colds, to viral infections, Matthew and I have been sick back and forth all month! But from stocking up on tons of juice to washing all our bedding in super hot water to spraying Lysol everywhere imaginable to downing as much vitamin C as possible... We are determined to not let all this sickness follow us into March! And then are going to do some serious thinking about what we can do to strengthen our immune systems... and we will take any suggestions! :)
Well I think that has you all up to date on the happenings of our year so far and, like I said, I will try to stay more on top of updates so if you don't hear from me for awhile feel free to yell at me! :)
