It's the beginning of the school year! Of course any time this comes around I think of that commercial (I think it was for Staples) with the dad taking the kids shopping for school supplies and bounding down the aisles to that song. Such a good commercial! haha! This means Jaryn is back to work, subbing at the middle school across the street from the apartment. She worked the whole first week, and most of the second (could have worked more but I needed a couple of days to get ready for VACATION!).
That being said... we leave to meet up with Jaryn's family on the beach on Saturday morning and we are super excited! We are excited to see family and also excited for the relaxation! We'll post more when we get back!

Exciting News!!
Yesterday we found out that Nic got accepted to Grad school at Argosy University in Nashville! He will be starting this Fall, and will be working towards a Masters in Counseling. This program should take him 2-2.5 years to finish. He will be doing most of his work online and spending 1 weekend/semester in the classroom. We are both very excited for him to be able to take this next step towards becoming a licensed counselor!

Lots of exciting things coming up!
Well, like the title says, we have a lot of exciting things coming up in the next few weeks!
Next Saturday (the 25th) Jaryn is taking two more Praxis exams, so that she can teach in TN. Unfortunately, she won't get the results back before school starts, so she is planning on spending the next year subbing and getting applications out. She got the results from the first test she took, and she passed with flying colors! We are praying for the same outcome on these next two! School starts in just a few short weeks, so hopefully she will be busy subbing again soon!
Nic is still busy working, but he has some exciting events on the horizon as well. He has applied to Argosy University in Nashville, to go to grad school for a Masters in Counseling. The last step in the application process is an interview, which will take place later this month! As long as that goes well, he is all set to start in the fall! We will keep you updated on how that goes!
It has been a busy couple of weeks. We had a great time with family and friends in New York, and immediately after coming home we started babysitting/house sitting for a week! It was crazy to be looking after a 6 yr old all week! We had a good time and now we are back in our apartment and just trying to enjoy the summer. We hope that you all are enjoying yours as well!

NEW YORK!
I am writing this post from the couch in my parents house! We left TN on Wednesday morning and drove to Akron, Ohio to stay at my (Jaryn's) Uncle David & Aunt Jody's house. We had a very nice time visiting with them, and on Thursday morning we headed out for our next stop in Buffalo, NY at Nic's Uncle Phil & Aunt Kelley's house for lunch. It was great to see them and our cousins, and we had a delicious lunch! Finally, later in the afternoon, we headed on to Canandaigua.
We had a very busy weekend! On Thursday night a bunch of people came over to my parents house and we hung out for a while. Friday we spent most of the day with Nic's family for his brother, Luke's, high school graduation. Saturday was spent with Jaryn's family at her cousin Abbie's wedding. Finally, we spent Sunday morning with Jaryn's aunts and uncles, having brunch at her parents' house, and in the afternoon we went to a surprise party for a cousin. Finally, later on Sunday afternoon, we took Nic to the airport to fly back to TN to work for a few days. That was the lamest thing ever, but he'll be back in just a few days and we'll have another super busy weekend! So there is quite a bit to look forward to!

Trip to Ohio
Ok, here are some videos that we took on our trip to Ohio at the end of May!
We got off the highway for a few minutes to search for a local attraction called the Wigwam Village Inn, in Cave City, KY! haha this is something that I read about in a magazine and I just HAD to see it in real life! It was only a couple of miles off the highway, so it wasn't a major detour. As you can tell, I was quite disappointed that Nic wouldn't pull over so I could take pictures! haha!
Part of our trip through Kentucky... it was quite a long drive!
Ok, well these take a long time to upload, so that is all you are going to get for now! Hope you enjoy them!

Busy Busy Busy!
Well, it looks like its been a little while since I have posted on here. I need to put some pictures up... perhaps tomorrow? Anyways, we have been quite busy lately, and have some exciting things coming up, as well!
School is out for the summer, so Jaryn has been enjoying her time off from substitute teaching. She is taking three Praxis exams this summer (1 on June 13th and 2 on July 25th), so once those are finished with, she should be able to pursue a Tennessee teaching license. Hopefully she will have that set by the fall so that she can put applications out.
Nic is still enjoying his job. Today he interviewed at Argosy University, for their graduate program in counseling. He has also applied to Trevecca Nazarene and Tennessee State. The hope is for him to be able to start a program in the fall, which is very exciting! It is the next step in his ultimate goal of becoming a therapist.
At the end of May we took a weekend road trip to Ohio for Jaryn's couin Jesyca's wedding. It was a great trip, and it was wonderful to be with family! Our next trip will be to New York in just a few weeks!! We will be there for Nic's brother's graduation and the weddings of two more of Jaryn's cousins. We are very much looking forward to being able to spend time with family and friends! The exact dates of the trip will be June 24th-July 6th. Nic won't be there the whole time (he has to work Mon-Thurs, and he will be flying from Rochester to Nashville and back). Contact us to make plans!!
Well I think that about sums it up for now. We are enjoying the beautiful (but occasionally stormy) weather down here, and taking advantage of the great pool that our apartment complex has. We are also working with the youth group at our church and really enjoying that as well. Ok, well look for some pictures, and even some videos, to come soon! Hopefully I will add them tonight or tomorrow, but I am trying to study for my test so we'll see.

Tornado Warning!
Nic has all the Mule Day pictures, so I don't know when I'll be able to put them up here. So until then I will keep you amused with pictures from today's severe T-storm and tornado warnings! Maybe I will even put up some of the videos that we took. Yes, we decided to throw caution completely to the wind and get some pictures and videos of all the craziness. Nothing touched down here but we had friends on the other side of town with hail and actual cloud rotation. Tornadoes touched down in Murfreesboro which is about 45 minutes away from us. A lot of damage and some casualties have been reported. So if anyone reads this, I'm sure your prayers would be appreciated for the city of Murfreesboro.
