I love flowers!!!

I love to decorate the balcony of my apartment with flowers and since this is the last time I will have a balcony- I thought I would include some pictures of my plants.  :)  I really do enjoy getting my hands dirty and planting these flowers. 

Happy Graduation Michael!!!!

Michael’s Graduation- Friday, May 14, 2010
It is hard to believe that 5 years ago in October we were married and moved to our little one bedroom apartment in Louisville. I remember starting my job at the seminary thinking how far away graduation seemed. My office in fact worked all year preparing graduation and I thought someday Michael will graduate but 2010 seemed so far away. Now, a week after graduation has come and gone- I still stand amazed that this day is here. I have to admit I was getting teary-eyed on Friday thinking about leaving this rich season of our lives. It is hard to believe this chapter is coming to a end. God has been so faithful in this season, providing in amazing ways during this seminary journey and teaching us more about Himself! I was challenged and encouraged by such a Christ honoring graduation. I have never been to a graduation that so pointed people to Christ and left me thinking about my eternal home with Christ. Dr. Mohler reminded the graduates that they are small and insignificant in the grand scheme of God’s provident workings. Their days on this earth are short and yet God has called and appointed them as ministers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Soldiers of Christ in Truth arrayed. It was a graduation that I was proud to be a part of and supporting my amazing husband who worked so hard these past 4 years! I am so proud of him and so humbled and thankful for this season at Southern Seminary!!

 

 

Graduation Day!!!
It is hard to believe that graduation day is finally here!  Well almost here!  On Friday Michael gradautes with his MDIV in Biblical Theological Studies.  Though this week has been super busy at work with graduation as that is my primary role at work- I am trying to take time to reflect on these last 4 years at Southern Seminary!  I am so thankful for this school- Southern Seminary and I know I will miss Dr. Mohler, the professors and the great students here when we leave this wonderful place in August.  Because I work on campus, sometimes I feel like I live here but I am so thankful for all that God has taught me here at Southern!  Graduation day is Friday, May 14th at 10:00am.  We are hoping it will be out on the lawn- but it looks like rain possibly may be in the forecast- we will have to wait and see! 

Hebrew Union

The day we went up to see our apartment- we also went to visit the school- Hebrew Union!
Here are a few pictures of Michael in front of the school.  The building is very old.  The day we were there we met a kind Security guard who was telling us everything we needed to know about the school.  We are hoping to see him again sometime.  So here he is the soon-to-be PHD student!

Our New Cincy Apartment!

I have been wanting to post these pictures for two weeks.  On April 24th- Michael and I went up to Cincinnati for two reasons.  We went to see Mary Poppins downtown which was an amazing Broadway musical and we went to see the apartment and get a feel for our new home for the next couple years!  Michael's parents have been so gracious to allow us to live in this apartment rent free and for that we are so grateful!  But as you may be able to see- some bad tenants lived in the building three years ago and created a lot of WORK!!!  So it needs a little fixing up- but I think it has promise! 

 This is the back yard- so it is mainly concrete- but there a few trees.

This is the view from the front window of the living room.
