6 months later...

So, I hardly ever email or facebook, which fits perfectly with my lack of blogging. Oh sure, I have grand aspirations of becoming an avid blogger...right. Maybe when I have nothing else to do. Kudos to all those who are able to juggle it into their busy lives (Sarah...). I don't know how you do it! It just so happens that it's Saturday night and I'm trying really hard to avoid preparing my science lesson (physics...exactly...), and I stumbled across my blog!

Life is pleasant but busy. Veritas is going well: we've moved for the 3rd time into a great little sanctuary near downtown, and Brad has his hands full (in a good way) with sermon prep and discipleship. I've been done at Starbucks for almost 2 months (thank You Jesus!). I'm teaching at a small Christian school in Campbell, which takes much more time an energy than I thought it would. I enjoy the kids, but once again, teaching in a classroom is not my thing.

We have a kitten named Milo, who's not much of a kitten anymore, and doesn't know his name is Milo (we call him "Kitten"). The fams are doing well; Brad's brother and sister and families join us at Veritas every week, and we try to get down to Morgan Hill once a week or so to visit my family.

Um, guess that's it for now.

Ciao!

Can't Help Lovin that Man of Mine

(Ever heard that song--I think it's from the old movie "Show Boat"?)

Well, my husband totally cleaned up the house while I was at work...*sigh* how did I get so lucky?

Funny, I made a change...on purpose

So, although one of my favorite colors is pink, I grew a little weary of the bold pink of our blog (and I'm sure Brad loved it as well!). But I haven't been able to change it (my computer is old and outdated, so my ability to do things is rather limited). So I'm on Brad's computer, and viola! A whole new world of blogging possibilities opened up to me!

Changes, yet again

So, in the last six months I've become a pastor's wife, moved from Morgan Hill to San Jose, quit the pill (this is on the internet!?), *maybe* worked my last shift at Starbucks in Morgan Hill, and begun covering shifts at a store in Campbell (and watched the first 3 seasons of 24, but that has nothing to do with this). In the next month or so I will probably be working at a different store in the San Jose area, I'm going back to school, beginning with a summer Spanish class and accounting in the fall (oh yeah, and scuba diving!)...and I hate change! Who's life am I living!? Good thing I have an amazingly sovereign, in-control God and an incredible husband!

Auntie Again!

No this is not a repeat. McKenna Dianne Keller was born Monday, March 2, 7 pounds 14 ounces, 19 inches. Her big sister is glow in the dark blond and blue--McKenna brings out the Keller colors of Mexico :o).

Ho boy! Life has happened fast since August!

Brad started (and finished) his last semester of his masters program

Brad got a motorcycle

Brad turned 30

We planted a church in Campbell, Veritas Community Church (www.veritascommunitychurch.org)

We spent way too many hours awake on New Year's Eve at the youth group all nighter

We moved from Morgan Hill to San Jose (watch out city slickers, here we come!)

We've been married for almost a year (love it, love it!)

I'm trying to get a new job

And I'm sure there are millions of other details, but that's just an update for the moment.

Auntie again!

Malachi Philip was born August 5th and looks a little like Barney Fife--wrinkled brow, puffy eyes, but super cute. This week Neil and Kristia spent way too much time in the ER: Malachi (nicknamed Mac :o) had a fever, and was tested for spinal meningitis, but was diagnosed with a virus--but only after 3 days of "hurry up and wait." The night they got home, Jesse, Neil and Krista's 3rd, swallowed Tiki torch oil, and Poison Control told them to go to the hospital. He's totally fine, but that night he threw up and had a fever, causing more concern, but he simply caught the same virus that seems to be floating around, taking its turn in all the youngins.
Not a great picture, but the only one with me holding him.
