One Year Down....Three to Go!

We are almost there! Next week is finals week for Andrew, and then he will officially have 1 year of seminary under his belt! It feels pretty surreal thinking back on the last year and a half. This time last year we were anxiously preparing and wondering what life in seminary would be like. Now, we know! :) Life this last year has been a little busy....okay, maybe incredibly insane might be more like it. We of course had our third son smack in the middle of Andrew's first semester, so that really made things interesting! But all in all, this last year as been rich in God's mercy and providence, and we are so thankful to be where we are!

God has helped our marriage grow stronger, even in the midst of challenges that full-time schooling and constant parenting brings. Our children continue to grow like weeds, and Daniel is even starting to read! Wow! He will be starting Kindergarten this fall, just as a side note. Perhaps I will blog on the beginning of our adventures of homeschooling as fall comes upon us. But overall, life is sweet. Andrew is one incredible husband. Daniel is growing leaps and bounds in so many ways, Micah is expanding his vocabulary and is potty trained (yeah!) and Isaac is the most adorable, sweet little 6 month old baby boy in the whole wide world. Without a doubt. :)

We are also so thankful for the new friends that we have met this year. Andrew's cohort is filled with amazing people, and many wonderful wives and children who go along with them. I am blessed to have made a few really solid connections with some wonderful seminary wives who have proved to be a huge source of refreshment and encouragement to me as we have persevered through this first year together. God is so good! So excited to see what the next 3 years hold!

 For His Glory,

 Rachelle, for the Johnsons!
