Upcoming Visit to Nashotah House

Our visit to Nashotah House is all planned. We are leaving Charleston on Tuesday, March 6 and returning on Sunday, March 11. We found that it is about $600 cheaper to fly out of Atlanta, so we'll get to spend a little time with my family on Tues. and Sat. evenings.
We are so excited to see our soon-to-be new home and friends. I am especially excited to get a chance to try out the new winter gear that I've been purchasing. 'Tis the season to find great deals on winter clothes! Now, I just have to decide if I should wear the snow boots on the plane or just pack them. Decisions decisions....
Our next step on the road to seminary is to finish filling out all of the application materials, including the dreaded FAFSA. Most of you probably know what I'm talking about, and if you don't, you are blessed. We will also begin the process of raising money to support ourselves for the next three years. I will work, but Rob will be a full-time student. Please pray that God will continue to guide us in this process as He so clearly has thus far.
Stay tuned for pictures from the trip!

We're Off to the "Badger State"!

We met with the Bishop yesterday, and he happily endorsed our interest in Nashotah House. God has definitely put Nashotah House on both of our hearts. We know it is God's will because why else would anyone be attracted to a place where the winters are regularly below zero? We are especially attracted to the close community of Nashotah House, as everyone lives on campus together. As Rob excitedly puts it, "It's going to be like boarding school all over again!" Our next step is to make preparations to attend Experience Nashotah, the seminary's open house weekend, in early March. Thank you for your prayers! We know that God is leading us every step of the way.
