Well, it is finally here. We will be leaving Houston at the end of the month and headed to Durham, North Carolina. Matt will begin classes at Duke University at the end of July! Everything has been all set for our move since March, except for one important thing... a job for me. We had so many close family and friends praying for God to open the right door for me. And, as of Tuesday, I was offered and have accepted a job as a 7th grade math teacher in Durham! I'm in awe of our Lord's faithfulness.
In other news, my sister graduated from college. Man, if that doesn't make me feel old, I'm not sure what will! She has moved back to Houston, and she starts her real-world job on Monday. You go girl!
I also had my last day of work, which was WAY more bittersweet than any other last school day. My sweet teacher friends helped me celebrate by all going to lunch one day before finals started. And after the last final, after the last student left the building, all of a sudden, my classroom was completely packed up in boxes and was empty. Pretty surreal.
After the end of school last week, my first weekend of summer was spent celebrating the beautiful marriage of my brother-in-law and my new sister-in-law! The wedding was perfect, and their love for each other perfectly depicts Christ's love for the church. Congratulations, Bormanns!
Now that it is officially summer, I've had some time to really relax. Avery has loved me being home. We went to the bay for some much needed R&R with my mom. It was the perfect way to start summer.
Last but not least, to bring us up to the present, my latest project... About a week ago I purchased an old library table from an online trading site for $20. It was in very good shape for its age, but needed a lot of TLC. I was immediately drawn to it, and I made it my first project of the summer. Here is the before... (on the left, with our old chairs and on the right, with our new chairs!)
Stay tuned for the "during" and "after" pictures! Happy Summer, friends!
