Hi there,
We had a good month! I keep a journal since Chris asked me to marry him (September 20, 2009). Everyday I write in it. Well, I actually skipped a year (exactly 365 days) when I was pregnant with Amy and a few months after she was born, but in any case, I have a journal of 2+ years. That’s over 730 days. It is so good to go back and see how my life changed to “our life.” God has blessed us tremendously. We have a daughter (who is turning two in a few months), awesome families, great friends, a beautiful house, a car, Chris has a job, and I can do school. And most importantly, we have a loving Father who has never let us down. I think we are doing pretty good! : ) I couldn’t ask for more (other than a dozen more kids of course…)!
BBC (Baptist Bible College) keeps me busy. I love this school and I have learned so much through my classes. I love to be able to discuss different subjects with my classmates. I made a friend, Heather, who is an incredible young lady. I am very thankful for her. It is neat how others can encourage me and I can encourage them even though we live so far away. I enjoy online school so far and I am already half-way through!
The more I study the Bible, the more I see how awesome God is. He never stops to amaze me. We server a mighty God!
Chris and I love our new church. We’ve only been there for a couple of months now, but it feels like family already. We had the privilege to have lunch with a couple of families and Amy and I were invited to a play-date, too! God truly blessed us with this church family!
A month ago I started to attend a weekly College Bible Study a church member of ours holds. I love it! We studied Philemon and Ruth so far. Wow! I don’t know how many times I read those books already, but there’s always something new or a very needed reminder. Ruth was known in the city as the woman of excellence (Ruth 3:11). There is a lot I can learn from her. : )
WTHI (the TV station where Chris works at) will move into their new building this weekend. Everyone is very excited! Chris said that the building is beautiful inside (I can tell it is beautiful from the outside, too)! Recently he told me how happy he is that he works from 3 am to noon because he can have lunch with us everyday and see Amy for many hours before she needs to go to sleep. Since Amy’s bedtime is at 7, he would only see her for an hour or less if he had the “normal hours.” So we are very thankful to God for his hours as well.
We go visit Karen and Dave every other week, and Karen comes to see us sometimes during the week, too. A few weeks ago Dave took all three of us boating. It was Amy’s first time and she loved it. So did we! The lake was gorgeous, the weather was awesome and we had a good time! I am so thankful for my in-laws and my sister! I am also very thankful for my family back in Hungary. I am able to talk with my parents a couple of times every week.

I redecorated Amy’s wall. Since Amy is a big Elmo fan, I thought I will do something educational and still fun for her. Well, she loves it. : )
Well, a lot more happened this month, but I am sure this war more than enough to read. : ) Thank you for reading our posts. We really appreciate each one of you!
God bless!
