Where have we been?

Well after the cruise, life got crazy. Jason had wisdom teeth surgery, and two weeks later and dry sockets he survived. My office got busier, we have moved in quite a few people over the last few months. I had a root canal and found out I am claustrophobic. I rode my new bike once before the chain broke. We celebrated Lynn's 50th and first ever birthday party! :) Amy, J's sister moved up here and is job hunting. Its pretty fun having her and her dog Allegro up in DFW :).

Some of the biggest news is that Jason and I no longer felt called for Jason to do the Ph.D. program, after talking and praying we made a decision not to even apply. So we thought we might be done, but oh no..... I am now the student! I am pretty excited about it, I will be getting a Master of Arts in Christian Education with a concentration in Women's Ministry. Pretty exciting news :). Jason has been very supportive and excited for me, there was a little sadness in him no longer pursuing the Ph.D, he had worked so hard on it. We are now looking for ministry positions, to where we do not know! :) I am starting my classes, and there is so much reading to do I should not be updated my seriously past due blog. But I needed to do it! Jason is taking one class and will be done in December with his MACE in Teaching :), that's not a teaching degree like a high school teacher, its more like teaching others to teach in the church (Sunday School, small group).

Other exciting things have happened, my brother Lance got married to his sweetheart :) Elizabeth, and we got to go home to KS for this event and visit with family including my brother and sister in law as well as our nieces :). We got to go to Chuckie Cheese as well, all to say it shows that Uncle Jason and Aunt Tonya do not have kids, we liked the games, but it was loud! Us and my parents were overwhelmed and ready to leave the noise :) haha. We had so much fun though and would of done it again in a heartbeat! To play with my niece was priceless and get to meet my new one was amazing. Its fun to grow up some days, and this was one of them. Its pretty neat to see my brother a daddy, and I have to say he is one darn good dad, I'm proud of him. He has an awesome teammate as well-my sister in law is an amazing mother.

Well that is us summed up in one blog over the last two months, from weddings to birthday parties and having fun in the sun during the hot summer days, we are ready for Fall! I would blog about the Olympics like some are, but I'm sad to say I have not been watching them :(. I saw a few races of Michael Phelps, but not enough to be a Phelps Phan :). Jason just built me an outside swing out of an old swing that he "refurbished" in a sense for me, I"ll get pics up of it soon :). (Elizabeth-the one you gave us :) )

We have new neighbors, two guys Chris and Tim, we plan to have them over soon and visit. Our first neighbors the Mays left in May :), and then the Sixes left about a month ago, its been sad not having them here, but I'm excited to meet our new neighbors :). Well time to wake up the hubby from a afternoon nap and time for me to get some reading done.

I pray that if you go to Church, you had a blessed morning and message like I had, and if you don't I pray that you go visit a church some Sunday morning and you'll be blessed :).

In Him,

Jason and Tonya
