6 months...almost 7.

I realized today that I (Sam) haven't given you guys an update in quite some time. I'll try to give some highlights of the past few months for you. Our last post was September but our last "update" was August. Well....lots has happened since then.


September marked many things in our lives. September marked 2 months marriage, the end of my job for me at World Relief & the beginning of a new job for me at Mental Health Mental Retardation of Tarrant County. I had been working helping refugees obtain jobs. Such a rewarding, yet exhausting job. There are many days I miss working with the community that I did...there's just something about working with fellow believers. However, now I work doing intensive rehab with schizophrenic & bipolar adults. Such an intense job but so fun & interesting & is giving me SO MUCH experience. September marked the 2nd month of the 2nd year of Seminary for Nick, while I took the semester off to begin my new job & settle into working full time!
October marked 3 months! I don't really remember much that happened in October other than we were both really stressed out from working, life, etc.

November marked 4 months of marriage! We were able to go home for a couple of days around Thanksgiving to spend with our families. I began Advocare & lost 12lbs! I am also now selling it so let me know if you are interested in great vitamins & nutrition for your body. :)


December marked 5 months of marriage! December also marked Christmas! We were able to spend a whole week at home in Mississippi with our families!!! Nick bought me an easle for my art & a $50 gift certificate for a massage! I bought us tickets to Passion 2011 in Fort Worth! He was VERY excited. :)

January marked 6 months of marriage! It also marked my 26th birthday! Nick got me a huge trunk to put all my blankets in. I love it! Nick also took me to "Nick & Sam's Steakhouse" in Dallas for dinner. Reeeaaallllllyyyyyy expensive but pretty tasty food.

February marks Valentine's day! On the 17th we'll celebrate 7 months of marriage! This past week Nick has been out of town in Jacksonville, FL for the huge pastor's conference. He's been gone since last Thursday & will be coming home tomorrow so I'm VERY excited!!! :) I've missed my sweet husband & am so ready to hear all that the LORD has taught him. He is also getting to preach tonight in Pensacola at friend's of ours church.




I know this has been a pretty lame update & hasn't been all that informative but just gives you a brief synopsis of our lives as of late. :)
