I know I haven't updated this blog in FOREVER.  Not sure why...just haven't had the motivation to do it.  Here's our life to get you up to speed.

1. Well, right now we've been living in our new place since April and love it. No real problems so far.  Our "neighbor" a couple homes down gets a little loud sometimes but nothing to really complain about.

2. Hannah's still working at the library and school.  She had her library hours cut in half and was thinking that they might cut her job entirely.  Good news today was that there were no further cuts to her job!  Yay!

3. I'm teaching a class in the fall at the local community college, PSY 101.  Yes, I'm still working on my dissertation.  I didn't do too much this summer on it but still have august to go.  I decided to teach this class because I want to keep in practice for teaching and we weren't sure what would happen with Hannah's job.  Now that her job is fairly secure I'm doing it to keep in practice. =)

4. We are still going to church at Findlay first church of the Nazarene.  It's not perfect like Majestic was but it'll do.  Our Sunday school class isn't nearly as awesome =)  Right now we're regular attenders but are about to get more involved.  I'm thinking worship team or sound might be good.

5. I've been challenging myself to memorize more Scripture.  I realized the other day that I was "losing" some of the passages I memorized as a kid so I needed to refresh.  It's been fun and I'm getting Hannah involved in it as well.  She says she never liked memorizing passages as a kid.  She doesn't have much of a choice now either I guess. *smile*

6. Bandit our dog is the same.  Neurotic as ever.  He has a new "thing" where he doesn't like to eat unless we're in the same room as him or very close by.  We usually give him about 5 minutes then take his food up.  The next day he eats no matter where we are.  =)  Then the cycle begins again.

7. I shot in a 3 gun match the other day.  This is a shooting competition where you use pistol, rifle and shogun to score hits on a man sized target.  Ranges vary.  I did okay but have been out of practice for a while...it definitely shows.

8. I can't believe so many of our friends have kids!  Derek & Rachel (from CO), Dan & Jamie etc. etc.  The list goes on and on.  It's weird to think about how families change and progress.  I can't believe both of us are 26.  I feel ancient and a veteran at life.  Ha!  How life changes and time marches on.

I think I hit everything in this numbered list.  I'll update again soon.  Habits are easy to break but need a lot more work to create.

Happy Saturday to everyone!  Just wanted to update you on the recent exciting news: we have an apartment to move to!  Yesterday we signed a lease on a place about 10 minutes north of us.  We are thrilled to get this place; it really could not be more perfect for us.  It's a good location, lets us have pets, and is well-built and modern.  It's 2-bed, 2-bath with a garage and a deck out back.  It is so nice to have this headache over with and such a relief to have a decent place to move to.  We move in two weeks, and we haven't started packing at all!  Hopefully we can start making several trips a week to bring over some stuff so there will be less to do on moving day.

Here are some pictures of the new place-

The living room:





The dining room (with the deck out the back door):

In other news, I (Hannah) had my top two wisdom teeth out this week.  It went better than expected, and even though I'm still a bit sore it's starting to feel better.  We also have had a good time visiting with Tim's parents this week.  This is the first time they've been able to visit us here in the States since we got married.  Tim had a four-day weekend for Easter, so he's enjoying a brief vacation from work.

That's all the news from here!  We'll update again after all the moving craziness is over.
