It has been a year.

Wow, time flies.  It has been a year since I have even had one moment to pause and post an update on this Khronicle of our lives.

Here is an update of the past year...

 November 2010: Kasey and I started meeting with a group of Young Married people in our Church each week who have become some of our, now, closest friends.  I got hired as a full time Clinician at Orange County Department of Education.  I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease-- gluten intolerance.  I took Comprehensive Exams as a final passage to graduate with my Masters.
 
December 2010:  Found out in the kitchen of my parents house that I passed my Exam and cried many tears of joy and praise to Jesus!
 Kasey and I visit Del Coronado with Kasey's company and have the time of our lives, wine tasting and enjoying time together!

January:  Our Nephew Wade James Keller was born on 1-1-11.  Alot of Desert Trips with Roxy to go Dirtbiking (Kasey's Heaven)

February:  Lots of praying thoughout the house buying process.  Found a "perfect" home on the same street as Kasey's twin brother in Tustin...  made an offer and continuously prayed!

March:  Purchased our First home together in Tustin!!  Moved in and painted walls green in our living room on St. Patricks Day! High School Winter Camp in Mammoth!

April: We figured out that owning a house was alot of yardwork, and alot of cleaning. My AMAZING husband remodels the guest bathroom.

May: Kasey's birthday and beginning of his busy season,  and me finding out I may not have a job after July 1.  I graduated as a Master!  Kasey goes white water rafting and loves it!

June: Confirmed that I do not have a job after July 1. Prayed some more. Started to serve on High School Staff.  Backpacked Catalina. Celebrated Neal's UCSB graduation and our second anniversary in Santa Barbara with my family!

July: I was given the Lord's peace and patience while I waited to find what God had in His perfect plan for me.  Kasey prayed and supported me 110%. We fell more in love with the extra time the Lord provided for us. Got a new puppy on a whim and LOVE him.  His name is Doc Holiday.

August: Applied for a position as a Clinician in Santa Ana High Schools through Orange County Department of Education... Got the Job!  Kasey and I went to Hume Lake with the High School students from Voyagers...Both of us discovered that week that Christ had us EXACTLY where He wanted us...  Serving others in love.

September: I start working full time, Kasey smiles* Kasey and I continue to love working with High School; starting our discipleship groups and a "Shake Shack" (which we may or may not call "Salvation Shakes" (said with a slight lisp) or "Cravings") for the kids after church on Wednesdays! 


Goals:  
Love others more and more each day.
Continue to use our home as a vehicle for hospitality and warmth to others.
