Howdy from AK Rowdy

We're back! After a month and a half without internet, we are finally connected to the Cyber World again. A lot has happened since our last blog update. We have been working on lots of house projects since we moved in, and are still in the process. Our house is starting to feel like home and we are settling into Akron (AK Rowdy). Josh has begun working as the youth director at Goss and is really enjoying it. Also, I accepted a teaching position last week at CVCA (Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy), a private Christian college-prep school about 25 minutes from our house. I will be teaching 8th and 9th grade English, and I am really excited. However, I am not excited that I start working August 10 so my summer is coming to an end.

Josh and I also celebrated our second anniversary this week! Josh surprised me with a "Welcome to Akron" scavenger hunt and took me to some popular Akron sites.

We began the day with Toy Story 3 in 3-D. (Okay, maybe this isn't a popular Akron site, but we had been wanting to see it.)


Next we headed to the gorge for some hiking, after stopping for a shake at Swenson's Drive-in (our favorite Akron restaurant).

After our hike, we had dinner at The Spaghetti Warehouse. I asked if we could sit in the trolley, and we had it all to ourselves! Then we went to see an Akron Aeros game. Josh was excited because Cabrera and Choo (Cleveland Indians players) were playing with the Aeros this week while they were injured. And we had dessert at the game, Dip n Dots for me and a $1 hot dog for Josh.


After the game, we came home and watched our wedding DVDs. It was a great date day to celebrate two wonderful years together.

Stay tuned for house updates!
