The timeline (by Katie)

2000: Highschool graduation, off to college and my family moved to KY
2001: Preston was born and we got married
2002: The beginning of nursing school (More like boot camp than school!). The move to our 2nd townhome.
2003: Preston started preschool! (Looking back on this event...I definitely would have waited until he was four.)
2004: Ben's family moved to IN (finally only 2 1/2 hours from us, instead of 13!). We visited almost every month for the first year.
2005: I graduated from nursing school (with my ADN) and started night shift. We bought our Explorer, we moved into our first house, and added a Pomeranian (Izzy) to the mix.
2006: I finally went to day shift after a very difficult and tiresome 18 months on night shift.
2007: We started this year off with a pregnancy and a miscarriage. Ben started back to school. I started back to school. Preston began kindergarten. Ben and I both got new jobs. This year was one of our busiest since we have moved to KY.
2008: We finally found a church home at Grace Evangelical Free Church after our countless visits and weekly attendance to 6 other churches in our area. We got an amazing chance to "Walk where Jesus walked" when we traveled to Israel, and the bordering country of Jordan, in March with Pastor Macy's church group from Indianapolis. Once again, we are all in school and Ben and I are both working (only this year it is two part time jobs instead of two full time jobs).
2008-2009: From March 2008 to May of 2009 we will have experienced my brother's wedding, my brother's college graduation, my 2nd college graduation and my sister's highschool graduation.

Ben and I have been married for almost seven years now! This year has been even more special than the previous years and I pray that they will continue to get better and better.

So, now that you are caught up on the last few years and familiar with the next few months, we can continue to keep you updated on the present happenings in our lives. We have had some busy years and they seem to get busier as time goes on, but God has been with us in everything we have done. Our continuing prayer is that He will guide our path as we walk into the future and that we can be lights in this world for Him.
