My life has changed a lot!

Blogging is easy when I know I don't have any readers. I haven't posted in a looooong time, but there isn't anybody who really cares. And that's nice to know. I'd like, however, for this to be a place where I can post to more often since I am no longer on the facebook or the myspace. Maybe if you bug me about not being on these social networks maybe I'll direct you to this blog. So if that's why you're reading this I'll give you an update...

My life has changed a lot. Since my last post I finished school, got a part-time professional job editing and mixing audio for radio and TV commercials, got engaged, moved, got married, am expecting a child with my new wife (and all in that order). My wife is the fabulous Jane (formerly) Boothman. She is pregnant with a little girl, due to be born June 19th. Our wedding day was September 19th (you do the math). We are living in West Central Spokane in a small little apartment and very happy to be doing so. We've decided early on that debt-free is the way to be, so we had a ceremonial cutting of my credit card, are living within our means, and are paying off our student loan debts. And all this on my part-time wages! God has been a fountainhead of sufficiency for us, both financially and spiritually. We are a part of the Vintage Faith Community, a small but growing church that is part of the Acts 29 network. My job is at a small, family business called Mortimore Productions. I have been learning a lot during my time there. When I say it's a small business I mean 2.5 regular employees and a handful of freelancers when a given job requires it. I make up the ".5" of that 2.5 figure, which means I get to wear a lot of hats and learn as much as I can daily about all the non-audio aspects of the business. As a result, I have a growing fascination for the arts of filmmaking and photography. However, my favorite new art is the art of being married. We read a lot of books prior to our nuptials and found many of them unhelpful. My advice to others would be simply to take the plunge, learn what the Bible says concerning marriage, and then, as you go, seek to be taught of God what those passages actually mean.
