Love Is Here - Tenth Avenue North

Good news and even better news

First, I want to say a big thank you to our ol' Uncle Sam! We got the first of our two rebate checks in this week and we are pumped. Why are we pumped? Is it because we get money? Well, yes. But more importantly, it's what we're doing with the money. As soon as our second check comes in, which should be within the week, we are going to pay off our car. Now that in itself is great news! But what is even better is that by paying off our car, we are relieving ourselves of the last bit of debt we have. That's right, no more school, no more car, no more payments on anything except our normal bills (i.e. rent, utilities, etc). So what are we going to do with all of our money? Probably start looking forward to the future, as in buying a house. If the Nashville thing works out, it would be nice to start out by buying a house instead of renting anymore. For us, this is definitely an area where God has richly blessed us, seeing as how before we got engaged, I (Ben) had almost $10K in debt hanging over my head. He is so good to us!!

Second, another update on the workout progress. I have been playing soccer and Frisbee and running and lifting weights and occasionally, I'll even pull out the ol' ab wheel. The good news is that I have gotten myself into a new lifestyle with very little trouble. I eat better, I eat less, and I workout A LOT more than I have in a long time. The better news is that up to this point, I am at least -20 from my starting point. Praise God! It was actually shocking to see the scale at my last weigh-in. I didn't actually believe it at first.

Sarah is starting to work on her online portfolio for Lifeway, so as soon as she gets that online, I'll put up a link so you guys can check out her work. She is very good at what she does.

Last thing, and this has nothing to do with anything, but it may be one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I credit my friend Josh Webb for finding this, as I found it on his blog. I hope you like it!
