Headlines

Despite the long hiatus that both Jon and I have taken from updating y'all on our progress as a married unit, let me assure all of you that we are in fact, still married. Just to catch you up, here are some of the recent headlines in our life:

Jon gets job with coffee giant

Thanks to some persistence, Jon has been working at Starbucks since the beginning of July. It's been a difficult adjustment (for a non-coffee drinker/non-morning person especially) but he's been doing great. He gets around 32-37 hrs. a week, the health benefits are great, and he enjoys the people aspect of it (I don't mind the free frappachino's every once in a while either).

Chantelle slides into temp job with Penske

The agency I was doing substitute teaching through also handles temp positions in the Rock Hill/Charlotte area. They found a data entry job for me in Charlotte (about 20 min. away) that was supposed to last about 2 months. So far I've been here for 4 months. They offered me the chance to stay on permanently, but the hours (usually over 45 / week, and mandatory every other Saturday) have been too rough on my family/home life. Also, I want to get back into the classroom, and subbing (though less profitable) is a better way to get my foot in the door.

Long-time friends share house; lose sanity

It started off as a crazy idea to help Jon and I stay in town and save money. It's turned into one of the greatest ideas ever (well, except for sliced bread). Jon and I have known and loved Brandi and Chris Fox for over 4 years. We share many eccentricities, personality traits, and passions. After lots of prayer, questions, and considerations, we decided live together. We've got a decent sized house with a floor plan that suits all of us well. There are lots of up, a couple downs, and tons of love, all of which I hope to write about in another blog pretty soon.

Church hires new intern

The EFCA church we attend was excited to offer Jon the chance to intern with our beloved EPIC pastor Ken. He's taken over the oversee-ment of a couple of ministries, preached a few times, and is learning some great management pointers from the hyper-organized Ken-in-Chief. His 8 hrs. a week at the church help get him through the disheveled mornings at Starbucks. Jon's also working on his Pastoral Connection Form and will be working on his ordination through the EFC in the next few months. We're still not sure what the Lord has for his professional future, but things are nice right now.

Moore's are still pet-less.

Jon still won't let me have a cat, or dog, or fish, or bird, or miniature horse. Gandolf - the Foxes skitzoid crazy but sometimes bearably cute cat - will have to do for now.

These are some of the main things happening in our lives, but I hope to fill you in on some of the more quirky, funny, insightful things that happen.
