"I'm Beautiful Inside!"

"I'M BEAUTIFUL INSIDE!" screams the sign in our front lawn, pointing to our house. I must say, it makes me a little choked up when I consider the fact we're selling our cute lil' Cape Cod. But life must go on. Selling our house actually equals a lot of awesome things. Once sold, we can be closer to friends, the seminary, and our church. No more long, ardous commutes on the Watterson and Dixie Hwy. Also, we can afford for me to take classes at the seminary--that's right, student spouses are 1/2 off--and sink my teeth more so into God's word and further prepare myself for the ministry of being a pastor's wife, church planter, and someday, a mama. Plus I LOVE being in school because I'm a big nerd. Also, it'll be great to just simplify our lives a little more, have a little less responsibility and have more freedom to sculpt our schedules so they fit, rather than conflict, with one another's. I'm pretty excited, to say the least. Can't wait to watch God work all this out and guide us into the breathtaking, scary and BEAUTIFUL unknown...

Girl, I will pray that it sells quickly and that your transition is full of pleasant suprises! God is going to bless your willingness to do what's right over what's easy..I know you know that, just want to encourage you!

Love you!

That would be awesome if you guys were closer! Tyler, Lenny, and I have become more nerdy at Southern.
