Life

Hey everyone-



Ok, so I'm new at this but thought it would be a fun way to keep some of our close friends up to date with our life. Plus its fun :) So, we hope you enjoy a little taste of what is going on in our lives and would love to hear from you all whenever you have the time!



So here we are, over halfway through November already! Am I the only one that feels like this year has totally flown by? It seems like just a couple weeks ago that we were stressing out in trying to get plans organized for the wedding and now we are about to hit our 5 month anniversary. :) That's so weird to me! But it has been so much fun and I love being married! Josh is wonderful and I am so blessed to have him! Marriage is hard, as most of you know from experience, but I have found that it is also the most rewarding experience and journey as we get to know each other more and more on a daily basis. I love my Josh!



As Christmas gets closer and closer (YAY!!), me and Josh have been busy working on our church's christmas program. He is Orchestra Director at our church and during the year rehearses the orchestra to play every Sunday morning. But when it comes to the Christmas program, you can imagine all the extra hard work that goes into this time of the year preparing them for a 2 hour program and 3 performances within 3 days. He works very hard and does a great job with them! They are sounding great and I am getting more and more excited as the performance dates get closer. I am in charge of all the dancers and flag work that is going to be done for the program so I am staying busy with rehearsals of my own with my girls! We will be dancing or having some type of flag work in 3 of the songs so that leaves plenty for us to work on and perfect! I have 2 other lyrical dancers besides myself and 6 middle school to highschool aged girls that will be using the flags. They are all doing great and it is coming together alot better than I had anticipated!



When we are not in rehearsals, we stay busy with our fulltime jobs. Josh is the music teacher at Armstrong Elementary School and teaches all 450 kids in the school on a weekly basis. So you can imagine the stories he comes home with and all the interesting experiences I get to hear about. :) He loves his job and his kids and is constantly telling me how happy he is there! That is such a blessing to love where you work and I am so happy that he has that there! God has truly blessed us with providing that job for him and for proving that He CAN and WILL take care of all of our needs! That brings me to another exciting factor in our lives. God has also recently provided me with a new job! I am now working at Proaxis Therapy as a Front Office Administrator. It is a physical therapy company and we have 10 clinics all over the upstate of SC. I am loving it and work with alot of great people! I don't think a single day goes by where I don't have at least one email from someone in the company thanking me for the work I do and expressing how glad they are that I am here working with them! I can't tell you how encouraging that is and how good it feels to look forward to coming to work every day! Josh and I have both been blessed with great jobs that we love and great friends that we work with who support us and encourage us on a daily basis!



We are looking forward to Thanksgiving and we definitely have plenty to be thankful for this year! In addition to everything that I have just finished writing about, there are countless other things that we have been given this year or that we have been blessed with experiencing. We have so many supportive friends, we both have amazing families that love us, pray for us and are there for us no matter what, God has provided funds for things that we have needed since we have been married and continues to bless us daily. We are so thankful for God's provision, His love, and His faithfulness to us! We do not deserve it and we do not deserve each other but I thank God every day for giving me Josh and for allowing us to spend the rest of our lives together!

We would love to hear from all of you as to how you are doing and what is going on in your life so feel free to reply back. Thank you for taking your time to read this and I will try to be faithful in updating this at least once a week. As i figure it out, I will try to get pictures, etc. posted for everyone to see. We hope that you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and that you enjoy your time together! Don't take it for granted! You never know how much time you have with someone so enjoy and cherish every minute of it! Happy Thanksgiving!!!! :)

Josh and Tiffany
