Also, I have officially been a married person for 51 incredible days! I love being married, and I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband!!
Wow, time sure does fly. We are happily settled in our new apartment, and Spencer really seems to be enjoying his job. He has made some friends that have the same crazy sense of humor that he does, which makes me happy :) Now I'm just waiting to make some friends of my own. One sweet little friend that I have now is our new kitten, Emma! We adopted her from one of the local shelters, and I am positively in LOVE with her! She is a playful little snuggler that will follow me around the apartment (she's actually sitting with me as I write this) and this morning, I found out that she can even dance! I was dancing around the apartment and she started following me around as usual, and as I was dancing, she was bouncing around herself! It was positively precious. Here's a picture of our sweet little ruffian :)
I'm still looking for a teaching job, which is going.... Well, it's going okay. I guess times are kind of hard in Huntsville and they aren't hiring as many new teachers (at least that's what I am telling myself so I don't lose all of my self esteem). I'm still hoping and praying that someone will give me a call telling me that they really want me to work at their school. If that doesn't happen, then I suppose I will be substituting for the next year and then giving it another go for the 2012-2013 school year. Please, please keep me in your prayers that I will find something!! Fortunately, Spencer has a good job, which I am so thankful for. I'm just waiting to see what opportunities are out there for me.. It's hard to wait around when you feel like you're meant to do something. But like I said, God has something out there for me, and unfortunately, in this case the timing seems to be more on His watch than mine. But it's not over until the fat lady sings, and she still has about a month left (when school starts) to start singing. Therefore, I am still hoping.
Oh, and what did we do for our 4th of July? I'm glad you asked! We went and got some Subway and picnicked and hiked up on beautiful Monte Sano State Park :) Then, we watched some wonderful fireworks! I love fireworks. They are quite awesome. Anyway, I've now got to go be all housewifey and run to the grocery store! I have some meals to plan! (I actually enjoy doing this, despite what I would have thought, haha)
Thanks for reading!
