New to this whole blogging thing.

We've always been against blogging, myspace, and especially twitter, but we're in high demand. We say that jokingly, but in all honesty...friends and family have been asking for wedding pictures, pictures of Amy's Kindergarten classroom, and pictures of our brand new apartment. Rather than sending a million emails on a consistent basis, we figured (well, Amy figured) it would just be easier, more efficient, and even more fun to begin a blog. 

So here we are. Newly married and loving it. New jobs, new schools, and even new lives. It's been obvious that this is where we were supposed to be and that God had a plan all along. Our latest life updates:

1. Amy is teaching Kindergarten at Warren Hills Elementary in Liberty, MO. Her class is absolutely hilarious. Being with 21 five-year-olds for 7 hours a day is exhausting, but very rewarding. She has been blessed with a wonderful class and there's always a story that Ben gets to hear at the end of the day. I'm sure some of those stories will end up on this blog as well.

2. Ben is going back to school. He's studying at Rockhurst to get his certification and masters in education (secondary social studies). He's really enjoying it so far and finds that will be very, very helpful for his future. 

3. We love being married. Its wonderful to not have to drive two hours to see the person you love the most, but its even more wonderful that we come home to each other. We always get to be together! It's like living life with your best friend. This must be exactly how God intended marriage to be...just simply enjoying your favorite person and finding new ways to love each other and God together. 

Well be expecting lots more to come....
