Howdy

So, I don't really have anything to say, but it's been awhile since I've posted anything...

I suppose I'll update you on the Podjan news of late:

1) Lilly got her 2nd tooth (barely)
2) We are closing on our house on the 2nd!!! I cannot wait to have my very own office! No more working while crammed between my pile...uh, desk and the bed! I will be able to paint! We are so excited. Moving day is the 3rd, if you want to help.
3) Our Monday night classes have started again. For the next 10 weeks we'll be studying "How to Hear God's Voice" by Mark & Patti Virkler.
4) I got a red crock pot. It matches my cell phone. If I had $2700 I could buy the matching washer and dryer, too. But I don't. So I won't.
5) Matt has more friends than I do on Facebook, so you better my friend, and when he asks you to be his friend (he only found you because you were my friend first, or you're friends with one of my friends) say, "No! I am loyal to Kate!"
6) I changed my mind. Matt's a nice guy. You should be his friend too.
7) I am working on new music for worship and I LOVE the new songs!

That's all I have for now. I'll post new pictures soon. Thanks for your patience!

A Big Day For Lilly

Today Lilly turned 9 months old, she had a doctor's appointment, ate her very first finger foods and pulled herself up all by herself! What a big day! I was there to see her stand up the first time, but by the time I had the camera ready, she fell on her face and rolled over (that's the first photo, and then in the second one you can see the mark on her forehead). My little girl's all grown up!

We Found A House!!!!!

After nearly 6 months of searching, walking through about 75 houses, spending countless hours online reading listings, Matt & I FINALLY found a house last Saturday! God provides!
So, here's the cool thing...we weren't even going to go to see this house because it was out of our desired location, but our realtor talked us into it. As we drove up to the house, my dad said, "I know who owns this house!" It is a pastor who recently relocated to Pennsylvania. The moment Matt stepped into the foyer and smelled the brand new carpet and fresh paint, he fell in love with the house. It is squeeky clean and neutral throughout...no wallpaper in sight! We put in our offer Saturday evening, and it was accepted Sunday afternoon. There was an open house there Sunday, so we took the fam to walk through our new house and sign some papers. Here are some photos (thanks, Jen, for the camera). For some reason the photo of my new office won't load, so the only rooms you can't see are the office, the downstairs play area (off of the office), the garage & utility room. You're not missing much.
