i'm sorry that i haven't been very active in keeping this up to date. like i said in my last post, we've been having trouble with our computers, making my blogging difficult. but in an effort to keep in touch, here's the latest on the siegrist's.
david's still working 3-4 nights a week at staples, and friday and saturday nights at the texas roadhouse. he pretty much dislikes those jobs, but is just hanging on until the beginning of april when the scranton country club opens again and he can get his job back there, with $1 more per hour than last summer! when he is not working, he is hanging out with me, or at the cafe when i'm working, or at home, helping me with the dishes and other housework. we both are doing an informal internship with Grace Baptist Church along with 3 other newly married couples.
Pr. Colin Smith has meetings with us every sunday night where we discuss what's going on in the church, how to start the various ministries we've wanted to start, and learning basically what a pastor and a pastor's wife is and how they work in a church. we talk about theology and what it takes in starting a church. it has been a wonderful learning process so far and we are excited to see what God has for us through this church.
i am still working 2 days and 1 night a week at northern light. i love my job and love working so closely with my dad in this business. it is rewarding in many ways and really has helped shape who i am. when i'm not working, i am either at home trying to keep up on cleaning and organizing, or out doing errands. on monday nights when dave is working, i go over to sarah sespico's parents (the boyles) and hang out with sarah, chris, garrett, and her parents for dinner and watching 24. they've got me hooked! on wednesday night's we have prayer meeting, which has proved to be different than any other prayer meeting in any other church i've ever attended. it is the heart of our church, a vulnerable bonding time with the church body. we look forward to it every week! on friday nights i go to my parents while dave is working to do our weekly laundry! it is a time i look forward to because i know that we won't always be this close to them. saturday nights i work and sundays are our relaxing day!
other than that, i'm doing pretty well. i'm not sure if i told everyone about my thyroid. last august my doctor diagnosed me with hypothyroidism. basically means my thyroid doesn't produce enough thyroid hormone for my body. it has caused a large amount of fatigue and has made daily life a bit harder to deal with. we're still in the process of finding the right dosage of medicine that will compensate enough for my thyroid. but we haven't quite pinpointed it yet. it's a waiting game since you can't feel the effects of the medicine for a few weeks. so each time we adjust, it's 3-4 weeks before we know if we need to adjust again. i think it is something i'll be dealing with for the rest of my life, but it's not really that bad. just makes me want to sleep!
i think that about covers it! my time here on the computer is just about up, so i had better go! miss you all and wish you a wonderful week!
