our lives are going nuts over here right now, which would lead one to think that posts would get updated at an insanely regular rate, but nay. life is happening fast and we're just hangin' on and lovin' it! i guess that's why time has flown.
nonetheless, it's important (to me, at least) to chronicle all that God is doing as we see it happen, so here's an attempt not to forget anything.
the weekend after the phillies won the world series, jed and i made a trip to brooklyn for more evaluation, walking/exploring, and for jed, job hunting. jed left on thursday, november 6th, and i joined him on saturday. it was a whirlwind trip that made us love clinton hill, brooklyn, even more as we walked all over it. i would describe the neighborhood as old, full of people, on the verge of growing drastically, and artistic and whimsical in its taste. we look so forward to living up there and becoming part of the community that God desires to draw to Himself!
between the time that jed's internship ended on october 31st right up until he left for new york, he blitzed the internet with his resume in hopes to get a few interviews while in the city. though he never got an interview while we were there, we are excited about one possibility in particular that dailey crafton got for jed. it is with new york university's recruiting/admissions office in the medical science training program. we've been waiting to hear back from them for an interview, but they have assured us that their hr department will slow things down. pray that God will work in this specific opportunity so that jed will get a job.
our move, at this point, is hinging on jed's job. we feel it slightly risky to move without a job at this point, though we may have to resort to that come january. we're ready to go! it's starting to sink in that we're leaving soon, and the feelings are bittersweet (though heavier on the sweet side). we're going to miss our friends and family that have become such integral parts of our lives, yet we know that the new life ahead of us is what God has burdened and excited us for.
more updates (and pictures - maybe) to come in the next few weeks. on the slightly less important side, let me comment on the mundane happenings in a nutshell. the art show went well on the 7th and 8th; i have another one coming up on the 4th of december; leave it to the eagle's to make history (a tie?!); jed jogged on the treadmill this weekend with strong stability in his knee for the first time in 13 years!; and, we will be spending thanksgiving with my family and christmas with jed's family.
peace and love.
