The Past few Months

Hello everyone,
It has been a while. Here are some things that have been going on. I started working at the Fort Wayne Community Schools as a classified substitute (an assistant). I am working with a 4th grade boy who is autistic and has behavior problems. I have been doing this since October and I got hired on full time Feb. 18th. I praise the Lord for getting this full time job. It is such a blessing especially in our economy. I am also coaching the Central Branch YMCA Sharks swim team. We have been having a good season so far. Our season is almost over. We have the State swim meet the second weekend in March. After the season I am going to go back to lifeguarding and teaching swim lessons.
Aaron just got promoted in the Army as well he is now a Private First Class (PFC). He will be going to a convoy training school in a couple of weeks which we are both excited about. He will get paid for the two weeks and also be able to do something that he really enjoys. Aaron is currently working at the YMCA where I also work but he does not like it very much. Anyone who knows Aaron knows that a desk job is not his thing so he is really looking for another job. He also works for a snow removal company. The problem with that job is that it has only snowed 4 times this winter enough for him to have anything to shovel. But we do thank God for the jobs that he has provided for us and pray that he would continue to provide in the coming months and we know that he will.
God has really worked in our lives in the few months and it has been amazing. I have the opportunity to go to Mali West Africa with my church back home in Marion, Ohio. I am not sure if I am able to go yet.
We are still in the process of buying a house. We found one that we really liked and was in our price range and then someone else bought it, fixed it up and now is selling it for about 80,000 more than what we were going to pay for it. We are a bit disappointed because it was a really nice house but we are confident that God will bring the house he wants us to have our way. Or us it's way I guess! We could use some prayer in upcoming decisions we have to make. I cannot say what they are right now we just need some prayer to make wise decisions. Thank you and we love you all!
Love
Aaron & Emily
