unmuzzled

the big life changes of 2009 continue...

so, after looking for a new job for all of april and may, i ended up with two by the end of june. due to the uncertainties of the future ahead and being unsure about what lindsay will have to do with her job, i haven't been able to talk about what's been going on the past 2+ months.

on june 14th, i became the pastor of eastside church of the nazarene in covington, ky. it was tough to leave paris church of the nazarene after only seven months of being an associate there, but my calling has always been to be a lead pastor of a church. additionally, the job market in lexington was simply dead and there were a ton more opportunities in the cincinnati metro area.

on june 29th, i started a job as an account manager for a pharmaceutical sales company in cincinnati, oh. just like lexmark, i drive all the way across town. sales is obviously not related to my major, but it's a decent job. combined with my pastoral salary, we're doing fine again. once we sell the house in nicholasville (when and not if!), lindsay hopes to be able to stay home with the kids and not have to go back to work.

lindsay's health insurance for the delivery of the baby is tied to her current job so the hardest part (read: excruciating) of this summer has been living apart from one another. i think both of us have realized how deeply we love and need each other. it will all be over soon, but we're continuously counting down the days.
