in one month exactly...

my dear little sister ("dls") will be moving into her brand new dorm room in denver, colorado! i can barely wait for her to get out here!! and, on top of that, my dear big brother-in-law ("dbbil") will be moving right around the same time...and he won't just be nearby, he'll be in our very house! all that to say, we look forward with great excitement their moves! =)

well, ryan officially starts his new job tomorrow...AND the money finally came in for him to take the second Hebrew class. it's really quite amazing how it's all worked out. we prayed diligently that the money would come in for us to take the class on time (which, for all we knew, the money was due last thursday at noon and not a moment later). well, thursday came and went and the money was not there. so, we supposed that was God showing us that he wasn't supposed to take the class. well, saturday, our rebate check finally came in, much later than all of our friends...but, it was only half of what we had thought we were getting, and not enough to pay for the class (though, it didn't matter really, because it was too late to pay for the class). ryan emailed back and forth with his professor all weekend, but didn't really get anything figured out. the class started monday, so by noon on that day, we were sure there was no hope for the class any longer. but then...someone from the financial aid office contacted ryan and told him that he could still take the class as long as we paid for it by the end of the term. so...we debated about it most of the day yesterday and prayed even more last night...going back and forth between thinking that certainly God could have provided the money for us before the payment was originally due last week (so maybe we needed to just wait on the class) OR maybe God was opening a door for him to take the class. SO CONFUSING?!?! well, after praying about it and sleeping on it, ryan decided not to take the class. this morning though, at some point, he got a call from a precious, precious person (who knows just who they are!) who offered to pay for the class for him! can you believe that?!? i'm so thankful that God has provided for us and I'm thankful too for the sweet heart that is willing to help us! yay!!! =)

well, tonight holds some great excitement for us-we are about to have pizza and watch "wife swap" because we just so happened to see that someone we know is going to be on it (it's a rerun)!! we've heard about it...but want to see for ourselves!!!! =)

until next time...
