Whew! Life has been a whirlwind lately. I can hardly catch my breath or take a second to blog. So much has happened with Tony and I and we feel so blessed to see answers to where God is leading.
Life Update #1: I got a teaching job! I will start teaching middle school science (7th and 8th grade) at Grace Christian School in Anchorage, AK starting this fall! (Fall 2013). I am overjoyed and so, so thankful to see the Lord answer a prayer I have been praying since I moved to Alaska. I have learned so much at my job doing social work but I am so happy to pursue my passion which is hanging out with middle school kiddos and teaching them! I got to see my classroom and it has a tarantula in it!! :) I can't wait to teach science it will be such a blessing. The end of era comes when I finish my job at the Office of Children's Services on July 18.
Life Update #2: Tony has been applying to be an officer in the Marines. It is so exciting and I can't wait to walk with him in what this would mean if he gets accepted. Tony has his last physical fitness test to complete his application on Monday and then we will find out around the end of July/ beginning of August whether he was accepted as an officer. We are both seeking the will of the Lord and know that whether Tony goes into the Marines or not, we will praise the Lord for his goodness and seek where he has us to be.
Life Update #3: I got to spend some time in Texas at the beginning of May visiting my sweet little baby nephew, Brannon Fulcher. He is an amazing, beautiful baby boy and I had the most joyous and special time spending a week with Brannon. (More pictures to come from this trip)
Life Update #4: Tony and I got to spend some time in Kodiak Island, Alaska which was a super fun time exploring a new part of Alaska for us! We were there for the Kodiak Crab Festival 2013 to kick off the start of the fishing season in Kodiak. Kodiak is an Alaskan island off the mainland about a 1 hour flight away from Anchorage.
While we were in Kodiak, we got to see a dead grey whale that had washed up which was pretty amazing.
Life Update #5: One of my best friends from my time at Pine Cove, Christa Davidson, got to come visit me in Alaska just last week. We got to go white water rafting, fishing, camping, hiking, and just enjoying sweet time of rest and friendship together. It was a much needed refreshment for me.
Well that's it for updates for now! I want to work harder to keep the blog updated with our life adventures and summer adventures. Pray for me as I finish the race of my job as a social worker for these last 4 weeks and as we await where the Lord has us with Tony's career as well.
Love, Anna
