The Latest Happenins'

(So these first two pictures will be explained later.)

Time for an update again! I always thought I would be so much better about updating this than I am. I (Alisha) started my job at Family Video 2 weeks ago. I had been working 20 hours, but this week I am working 30-some hours because the new girl they were going to hire never showed up! While I won't be able to keep up working that much, I am ahead in my homework right now and am thankful for the extra hours while I can manage them. Perhaps this is one of the ways God is providing for us. I am now 15 weeks in my pregnancy! Out of the first trimester- yay! Here is the latest picture I have (below the bball picture). You can see a little belly.

Ben has been playing basketball! He is on an intramural team and enjoys playing once a week (bball pic above). He also plays volleyball and is on a football team that will play this weekend against our sister school, Waukesha. So he's been busy with sports. After this weekend he won't have football anymore. He's also going to run in a 10k against Waukesha. I thought I was always the runner? Apparently now he is!!

So the pictures at the top. First let me tell you how much it annoys me that blogger posts the last picture that you add at the top and makes it a big pain to move it. I forget this everytime and always have my pictures posting out of order of what I really want. Anyway, we went mini golfing with new friends Jason and Laken. They didn't tell us they were pros. Jason won, and Laken came in second. We didn't think to take a picture of all four of us, but you can see them in the background of the pictures of us!

Tomorrow is our second Day of Prayer, and we're looking forward to it. Ben is in Hermeneutics, Evangelism, Exodus, and Foundations for Learning right now (and I'm taking Evangelism and Exodus). We're enjoying these classes a lot so far!! We just finished Genesis and are grateful that God had a plan from the beginning for salvation. He didn't just decide to send us a way to be saved in the New Testament when Jesus came. His plan began all the way back in Genesis when he began setting apart his people (the Israelites) through Abraham.

I know there's more I could share, but I have to eat before work! Thanks for keeping up on our lives here at NTBI :)
