Big, Big, BIG Steps

A lot has happened in the past few months. Some things stressful and some exciting. Let's take a look back at what's happened, considering it's been a while since I've blogged.

April - After turning in my KPTP (Student teaching portfolio needed to pass/graduate), I got my results back and missed passing by a few points. - Stressful

Early May - Graduated on the 5th with a B.S. in Physical Education. - Exciting

Late May - Edited my KPTP, turned it back in, and passed. - Stressful/Exciting

Late May - Begin working at the Holcomb school district as maintenance for the summer. Not my favorite kind of work, but it's a job. - Ehh...exciting

Early June - Marriage!!! On June 9, I married that wonderful girl, Molly Komlofske, who is now Molly Just! We took our honeymoon to Estes Park for a week and it was a great time! - Exciting!

July - Take my PLT and PE Content Knowledge tests. I have to pass these tests to become a certified teacher. - Stressful

August - Begin preparations for the move to Kentucky! Stressful/Exciting

Those were the big things. There were also another 5 or 6 weddings that Molly and I attended or were in. So much love in the air! We were very excited to be a part of some of our friends' big days, though!

Well, we made the trek out to Wilmore, Kentucky on Monday. We loaded up a Uhaul, Molly's dad's pickup, my car, and Molly's car, and drove 13 hours out with my parents and Molly's dad. We took a couple days to get everything unloaded and organized, then luckily for us, our parents were willing to help us out with some much needed supplies. Shoutout to our awesome parents!

Our parents are now back in Kansas and we're here...at Asbury Seminary...just the two of us. It's definitely a weird transition. For the past 4 years we have moved into our Southwestern apartments with our friends who we would be living with for the next 9 months or so. Now it's just us in a big ol' apartment. I will say that I enjoy having my wife as my new roommate! She takes care of me. What a gal!

We're now at the point where Molly is waiting around for classes to start and I'm looking for a job. Classes start in early September for her. She is taking 12 credit hours and we just found out that she has a part-time job lined up. Praise the Lord! I have applied for every PE and intervention position in the area, but no luck. I've done more research to see if anything would get me by, but nothing has really fit the bill yet. Subbing may be the route I'll take, but again, I'm just looking around and seeing what's available.

We ask that you all would pray for us as we continue our journey out here. We are very excited for everything that God has in store, but at the same time we are a bit nervous. We know God will provide, which He already has in different ways since we've been here.

That's a wrap! I'll try to do a better job of updating you all. Until next time...bbbdaa bbbdaa bbbdaa that's all folks!
