The Countdown!

So, we are nine days from closing on our house!!! YAY!!!! We are so excited - there is so much going on in our lives, but this is so cool! We haven't even been married a year and we are buying a house!!!

We started packing up this week, so everything is looking bare. We have gotten the bedroom, the living room, and the dining room mostly packed. Here are some pics of how empty everything looks and how many boxes we already have packed up!

Our study/dining area

The living room...where all the boxes are going. Its a tower of boxes that is taller than me!

How insane is that?
And we still have the kitchen, bathroom, two closets and the porch. I have the whole week off for spring break, so I will be spending it packing and cleaning - yay!

The other big news that is going on is that I have been working on starting my own photography business, part-time. I have a website up, www.goldapplephotography.com, and have been getting all the necessary details going, and am currently trying to expand my portfolio! Please be sure to check out my website and look at my photo albums! Its so very exciting!

Mike has some VERY big news that we are over-the-moon about! He has been accepted into the Young Guns program at Denton Bible Chuch (our church), which is a discipleship/pre-seminary program taught by Tommy Nelson (our pastor) and two of the other pastors in the church! Its VERY competitive and is highly regarded by most conservative churches/seminaries, so it is very exciting news that he will start the program in September! He will be in the program for a full year before he applies for seminary at Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS from here on out).

I am not sure when I will be applying for grad school at UNT, but hopefully in the next couple semesters. My job at the pregnancy center has been going remarkably well, I absolutely love it and every single person I work with, and have been growing tremendously by working there! (a side note - in our new house, I will only be 15 minutes away from work, instead of the 35 mins I am now! yay!)

I will put up lots of the pics of the new house once we get closed and get keys! Please pray things go smoothly and that we have lots of help moving!
