Rainy day blues?

Well, we have been a little slack on the posts lately. Sometimes its hard to know what to write. So I'll just write and see what happens. Yesterday Jin and I had the day off together. It was our first day off where we didn't have any plans. We decided to go to Woodbury Commons which is a huge outlet mall about 30 minutes away. We had fun walking around looking at all the different stores and only came away with a bag from Gap, necessities of course. Outlet malls really aren't that good of a deal unless you find a really good sale. But its still fun to look around. Then it started pouring so we went home. We ate some leftover pizza for lunch (you wouldn't believe how much pizza we have eaten since we moved here, literally a pizza restaurant on every corner) and then decided to watch one episode of Bones. Well next thing we knew it was 1 AM and we finished season 3. We took a short break to make chicken enchiladas for dinner. It was a fun day to to be married and spend time together. Makes me thankful for this time in our lives, nothing to do except work and spend time together. And write thank you notes...which is what I am doing today before I go in to work at 3.

On another note, we are officially staying in NY until October 31. Jin will be doing activities full time and I will be working in the store! We are really excited to be here and I am especially excited to be here during the fall. Fall is hands down my favorite season and I can't wait to experience it in the northeast. God has been teaching me a lot of about humility and pride these past few weeks. Jin and I both feel strongly that this is where God has placed us for this time and I know there are big lessons to be learned before we move on to the next step. I'm praying that God will break down the doors of my heart and teach me to be more like Him over these next few months.


 5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
 6 Who, being in very nature God,
   did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
   by taking the very nature of a servant,
   being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
   he humbled himself
   by becoming obedient to death—
      even death on a cross!

 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
   and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
   in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
   to the glory of God the Father


-Philippians 2: 5-11


Thanks for keeping up with us :) We miss all of our friends and family!
