Whew! How time passes!

Well, it has been a long 2 1/2 months and a lot has happened. For starters, I went to see a doctor about my health. Im on track and slowly losing weight. Its been hard to change my lifestyle but I know its worth it. I won't say how much I weigh but I will say that I have been able to shed some inches and try on smaller clothes.

Then, Jennae and Doug got their house and so we helped them for a few weeks. Its beautiful and I am proud of them!

Then the biggest decision we've had to make came to us right in the face. We have been praying for over a year with the decision of leaving EPIC church. We have struggled because though we loved the people, we didn't feel we fit the church and if we tried to hang on any longer, we'd sabotage what God was trying to do. We probably went about it the wrong way but everyone was shocked (and some still don't realize it) We've also tried to make it peaceful so that this doesn't interfere with the relationships we've built with everyone. So we officially decided on November 7, 2008. We decided until God directs us to a specific church, we'll attend them all. I don't want to say that we are "trying" out churches because its God's direction that we are looking forward to. We felt complete peace about this and we plan to still attend our life group until its time.

Jonny was accepted to the Psychiactric Technician program beginning in December. This means a year long program, no money and lots of faith. Thank God we both have supportive parents to keep our faith up and pray for us.
