Allow Us To Introduce Ourselves

Hello Folks!

Well we have determined that we are horrible at keeping in touch with people. So, we have developed this blog to make that a little easier. You will find on here updates on our lives and the latest information on both Ben and I. Hopefully this will make it a little easier to stay in touch.

I (this is Amber) just returned from a four day weekend in Manhattan to see my best friend, Mindy's, baby boy, Luke David Scott. He is a precious little boy and I am already going through withdrawl. I was very excited to see him, however, it confirms my suspicion that I am NOT ready yet to have one of my own.

I am currently working for Johnson County Developmental Supports, working with Adults with MR/DD. I love working with this population, however I hope to soon being doing something that utilizes my degree from Kansas State. Starting in August I will officially be a graduate student. I have been accepted into MidAmerica's Master of Arts in Counseling program and in October of 2008 will be completely done, internship and all! I am incredibly excited about this next venture in my life. Ben was incredibly supportive throughout the entire application, interview and waiting process, and he was as excited as I was to get in. I think he is most excited because he thinks he can stay home once I have my Masters...haha fat chance.

Ben is working for American Century Investments. He started in October doing data entry, but in January accepted a new position in investor relations, and he really enjoys this. I know that he is already looking to the future and the possibilities that this company may hold, but for now he is very happy with his job. I just received a new shift, 8:30 to 5:30p, which is a vast improvement from the 10-7 shift he had before. I am VERY excited about this new shift and I know he is too.

We leave on Vacation July 6th, and we are SOOO excited. We are going to Colorado to camp and go white water rafting. I am ready for the day to be here...except we have done NOTHING except make our reservations. I guess we should get on that. We will post pictures on here after so you can all be jealous of our good time...just kidding.

Well, we will keep you updated as there is more to tell.
