Overcoming Tennis, and the DMV

The past week has felt much like summer. In a good way. Now that all the wedding stuff is done, and the moving is taken care of, Hannah and I have been able to finally just sit back relax and do whatever comes our way. Alot of our days, particularly mornings due to the humidity/temperatures, have been filled with tennis. Just a mile or so from our place is a nice community center with an abundance of tennis courts. And the nice thing about these courts is that no one is ever really on them, unlike Fargo. Im not sure if thats because of the heat, or the laxity of North Carolinians. Either way, it just means available tennis courts whenever we want. Its fun to get out of the house. Oh, and should I mention the victor of our fiesta of matches?

Thats right. Lets here it for, Scott!!!

Hip-Hip Hooray! Hip-Hip Hooray!

Apart from taking Hannah to School in tennis, we spend our days inside chillin'. And doing just that. I can officially report our AC is in working condition again. And for future AC holders, a filter in clean working condition is vital.

Our nights are filled with movies. RedBox has become our temporary friend. We have enjoyed catching up with him most nights.

Becoming a resident of a new state requires a change of your Driving License, most of us would know. And while some states require a simple exchange of documents, others will demand a test. And North Carolina just happens to be one that issues tests. So yesterday, I browsed over the NC DMV website and then grabbed a paper-number at the local DMV outpost. Why is it that every DMV attracts a line? 1.5 hours and 20/20 questions later I received my NC drivers license.

Thats right. 20 out of 20.

Boo-yah NC DOT!!!

Hannah, unfortunately, was not allowed to take the test because she has to get a new and updatesd SSN Card. So in about 2-3 weeks, we will have to put the NC DMV in the ground again!!!

We attended a church on Sunday for the second time. And we really seem to enjoy it. Our only concern is the size of it. Though we were originally planning on something a little smaller, we felt the community, worship, and Pastoral-ship of the Church was right in our ally. We are very excited about the Preaching/teaching pastor. He has a sense of confidence yet humbleness, authority yet grace. His heart seems pure, and his teachings sound. Hannah and I also went early on Sunday to attend one of their sunday school classes. The class was very good, and perfect in size(8-10 couples). It has anywhere from newlyweds to couples with several years of marriage under-the-belt. They were extremely welcoming and we are quite excited for sticking out with this Church. Richland Creek Community Baptist is the name.

As for everything else, things are going well. Please, continue to be praying for us with adjusting and settling in here.

Time to time, Im going to place a list of prayers. Feel free to partner with us in them.

Prayer:

-For Hannah finding a new graduate program in the winter to attend

-For the start and acclamation of Seminary

-Finding a Job for Scott that fits the time restrictions and financial promises

-And for God to equip us to partner in ministry with Richland Creek

Please, fill us in with how things are going in your life.

For Christ

Scott and Hannah
