Friday the 17, my parents met Steven and I at our apartment and took us to lunch at Nona's Italian Cafe in downtown Springfield. It was really good! I brought my graduation gown and they dropped me off at JQH Arena to meet up with the other graduates, while they found seats in the arena. Graduation started at 4, and now it's official I'm a college graduate! After graduation, my family left to go to my brother's fiance' Lisa's graduation, and Steven's family took me out to dinner.
Saturday, I had my "graduation brunch" at the Tower Club where I have worked since March and did my internship over the summer. After the brunch, Steven and I packed up the SUV, ate Nona's leftovers for lunch, and headed to St. Louis! We had a great weekend visiting a prospective church for Steven to work at in Maryville, Illinois. We are very excited as they say they want to move forward with us after the holiday season. Nothing is official and we know everything is in God's hands! If we do for sure get the job, I will be sure to post about how God worked everything out!!!
The rest of our time has been spent celebrating Christmas with family. We spent three days with Steven's family in Kansas City, and four in Oklahoma with my family.
We have been very busy and very excited for what God has in store for us! Earlier this year, I discovered that Steven's "life verse" is Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding", and mine is Proverbs 3:6 "in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He'll make your path straight". How cool is that!!! What an appropriate two verses for our first year and a half of marriage, and it is definitely a God-thing that the two of our verses (which we got from two cards with our first names on them, with a randomly selected verse) were back-to-back. I sleep easy at night because I know that God has everything planned out and has a purpose for our lives!
