With 2 Ts

by Rebecca

I’m done teaching piano for today, and I decided it was about time for another post.

This will be a long week. Adam will be closing at Starbucks tonight, and Thursday through Saturday nights, as well as finishing up his long term substituting job at Johnson Elementary, and starting classes at UofL for his grad program in teaching Spanish. We’ll see each other Wednesday night and Saturday/Sunday mornings, but the rest of the week, I’ll definitely have a lot of time on my hands.

I’m planning on using the time to write and get some songs finished, and catch up with some friends I haven’t gotten to spend as much time with lately as I’d like. Tonight I’m meeting a friend for a walk in Cherokee park, and then a movie night with Noel and some girls from CG and their various and sundry beaux, I think.

I’ll miss Adam this week, but it’s only one week, and it’ll give me a chance to catch up on some things. And we’ll have Wednesday night!

God is good to us, I’m really excited about the things on the horizon; it’s a good season, and I’m expecting some awesome things are going to happen this summer/fall. We’ll definitely keep y’all posted!

This is my first real blog entry on our new blog. With two of us updating here, instead of just one, it should be much easier to stay regular (regular… har har). From the looks of it (see post below, titled “Celibacy“), it seem as though Adam will be more intellectual and I will be more circumstantial in our posting topics. Also, for the record, I think it’s hysterical that this is our family blog about being married and living together and keeping house, etc., etc., and his first post is called “Celibacy“.

At any rate, what’s new with us…?

• Adam is working at a long term Spanish substitute job through the end of the year, and it’s his first big teaching assignment where he gets to make up the lesson plans and administer tests and so on and so forth. It’s been really good experience for him, especially as he hopes to have a full time job teaching high school Spanish next year. Once the school year ends, he’ll work more hours at Starbucks, and do a lot of classes in his graduate program over the summer, and then hopefully start work in August.
• I am working a lot. I drive four days a week, and teach piano the other day. I’ve been playing a lot at Sojourn lately, as well as working on my solo stuff. I’m planning on recording a new album this year, if all goes well, and I’ve been slowly getting momentum with writing and am looking forward to seeing more of what comes out of me creatively.
• Adam and I are going to be attending and serving at the new St Matthews Sojourn site, and it’s been really good to go and get to know some people and worship with them. It’s been exciting to find people that live close to our neighborhood! We are looking forward to spending time getting to know new friends and be more involved in reaching out to our neighborhood.
• We planted some tomatoes! Last year, we didn’t do much with our yard, and this year it’s been fun to get things situated and looking more “kept”. Adam did a lot of work laying down weed paper and mulch, and the front yard landscaping looks really great. We’ve got a lot of hostas and a couple of really big azalea bushes, and two white dogwood trees. In the back, we have a row of evergreens, and we planted some tomatoes in a little plot right next to them: our first garden. I’m excited. We waited a little longer to put them in the ground than we should have because of time constraints, so two of them are almost certainly not going to make it, but I’ll replace those two once I’m sure that they’re dead.

That’s all for now, it’s getting late and I’m going to bed. ‘Night folks!
