It's hard to believe that May is just around the corner! As you can probably tell from my lack of blog posts recently, we have been pretty busy around here lately! Although things never really slow completely down for us. Plus, in March, the weather was WAY too nice to be inside blogging! We spent our time grilling outside instead!
Luke only has three regular youth groups left before the seniors graduate and we break for the summer, which is hard to believe! In addition to regular youth pastor responsibilities, Luke started grad school in January and is now 20% done (as he would say)! He just finished a class and won't start his next one until July, so he is pumped! For him, that means a break from reading and writing papers. For me, that means a break from proofing papers!
As for me, this is one of my favorite parts of the year for me at work. High school seniors are making their college decisions, which means I'm beginning to figure out who will actually be coming to Huntington University this fall. During the months of May-August, my work load is much lighter, so I'm looking forward to some time off for youth mission trips and time to get some stuff done around the house. Like Luke, I will also be starting grad school this fall, working towards my MBA at Grace College. The best part is, it's essentially FREE! Because of my job at HU, I was accepted into Grace's MBA program on a tuition exchange, which means the tuition fees are waived! I only have to pay a small fee for each class. It's been amazing to see how God has provided and blessed Luke and I financially with grad school. We'll both be done within two years! God is good!
In other exciting news, Luke's sister, Brianne, is getting married this July, and her first bridal shower is this Sunday! We are so excited for her and her fiance, Matt!! They're keeping up the Diehl tradition by getting married in the month of July. Luke's brother, Brady, married his wife, Christa, on July 25, 2009. Luke and I got married July 31, 2010. And now, Brianne and Matt will complete the cycle by getting married July 14, 2012!
Well, I think that's all the news for now! Wish I had a picture to make this post more exciting! Guess I'll have to work on that next time!
