Our First Blog!

Our first blog! Well we are here in Wilmore, Kentucky now. We have been here for a full 4 weeks today! Yay!!! It is beautiful in our little town of Wilmore. The population is approximately 6,000 people. It feels like home in a lot of ways to us, since we both grew up in small towns. However, Wilmore looks like the small towns you see in the movies with the cute downtown stores, colorful flowers, and tall green trees.

Everything is in walking distance from our apartment. We are living in married student housing on campus, which is surprisingly nice. It is small, but it has lots of storage. It is also in the perfect location. We can walk to the video store, resturants, the bank, post office, grocery store, and anything on campus. It provides us with plenty of exercise, especially since the landscape is the exact opposite of Plainview, TX, plenty of hills!

We were very excited to find a Authentic Mexican food resturant down town called Jose's. It has become our comfort food, while Ashley deals with a little bit of culture shock. (She really misses TexMex and Taco Villa.) Jose's tastes as good or better as our favorite Mexican food resturants in West Texas. Plus it is cheap!! We can both eat lunch with chips and salsa for $9.00!!! So it really beats the food back in Texas. :)

Life is moving fast and the past month has flown by in a matter of seconds. We have not found jobs yet, so that kind of sucks, but we really do feel that Asbury Theological Seminary is where we are supposed to be. So if you think about it please keep us in your prayers because $ is running out and school costs lots of $!
