"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

some recent adventures...

Most of you probably haven't noticed, but there has been an EXTREME lack of blogging here.  It seems like a lot has happened lately!  So, here are a few fun things we have done lately, in an effort to catch up on my blogging a little bit...
 
 
Our good friends Jae and Enoch invited Nathan and I to Ann Arbor to try out some authentic Korean food.  It was SO amazingly good!  We loved it! (and thank you, A and J for keeping all of our kids!)



 
Then...all of the married students here at NTBI went bowling one evening!  We rented out the whole place, and everyone brought snacks and we left our kiddos at home.  It was a really fun evening.
 
Here are Jill and I with Julia and Tina.  These sweet ladies are sisters-in-law from Germany, and they are in our class.  We have really loved getting to know them (and their families)...it will be so sad to say goodbye to them at the end of the semester!!


And here are our really cool hubbies!  Or maybe really dorky...in this pic at least :)


haha!  I love this picture--the look on Jill's face is priceless.  She looks so annoyed at Nathan!  so funny.


I love this man.  We didn't plan it, but I wore my "I love my husband" shirt and Nathan wore his "I love my wife" shirt!  Haha!  We are so cool. :)


So...earlier today, we went to a kind of "Easter Outreach-carnival-festival" type of thing at our friends' church here in Jackson.  There was a lot of games and activities for the kids, lunch, and a show (a ventriloquist that presented the Gospel to kids in a very cute way).  It was a great time, and a very neat outreach!





Lots of fun stuff.  We are looking forward to our Spring Break, coming up in a week!  And we are so ready for some spring weather, too.  Spending time outside sounds so nice right about now. :)

That picture of me at the bowling alley is really funny...not sure what I was thinking...but I definitely don't look amused by Nathan.

And the Easter festival thing looks like it was a lot of fun!

(and btw...I've noticed AND missed your blog posts, sis!) :)

Reading through this blog made me realize how good God is. Even though it's so hard to meet new people and then have to say good-bye, he's so good to bring people into our lives as well as our children's lives that we can be such good friends with :)

I agree with you about the Spring weather. We had 7 or 8 inches of snow last night. Not good.
See you this weekend, Grandpa Jim
