No news is good news
It's good to be back to blogging but the reason it's taken a while is not so much because of being busy but more to do with lack of news!We love being back here and have been catching up with friends and family. Everyone has been really sweet and supportive, trying to help us find jobs and get a house. It's wonderful to go to church and both of us understand the language and be able to sing along in the worship and listen to the message without translation!
As far as jobs go, John has an interview next week for a writing project but I haven't really found anything yet. Everytime I think I'm at a dead end, another avenue opens. Just the other night, a dear friend gave me a name of someone who may be able to help. The problem is the kind of job I am looking for isn't advertised in Cleveland and so I have to rely on word of mouth. If I don't find something in the next couple of weeks, I am just going to get a basic office job or something low-stress until the right opportunity comes along.
Next week, John and I are going to be looking at houses. One of John's oldest friends is a realtor (or 'estate agent' for us British folk!) and he is helping us find something. It's really a good market to buy right now because there are more houses for sale than there are buyers so prices are reasonable and there are lots of choices. I am extrememly excited because it's our real first home together. Our apartment in Cyprus was fully-furnished so now we get to chose everything together and combine our tastes. Needless to say I have been watching a ton of DIY/Decorating shows (I LOVE U.S.A. TV!) and drooling over furniture and accessories in the shops!
On Monday we are attending a two-day conference in Georgia for 'progressive' youth ministers by Intimate Life Ministries and at the end of the month, we are teaching at a week-long training conference in North Tennessee for upcoming youth leaders. My mum is attending the latter conference so we're glad we get to see her. She will spend a few days in Cleveland with us which will be lovely.
So, lots to look forward to and lots to pray about! Not a bad post considering I said we didn't have much news, hey?!

yay...good to hear the "not news" of you being in Cleveland. So...since you are with nothing to do (yeah right) that means you have plenty of time to chat, right?! let's set a phone date - Ich liebe dich ("I love you," in German).
