Another New Job!

On January 5th, I began the process to become a sub at a local Christian school. Then I was offered the job at the Vet's office. Well, it has been one month at the Vet and this past Thursday I received and unexpected phone call. The call was from Grace Christian School. I was offered a Kindergarten teaching position.

Today was my first day there. I will be getting to know the school, students, etc. this whole week and begin teaching next week! I'm so excited though to finally be doing what I want and love to do!

PRAISE GOD!

Job Update

So, I have been looking for a job for the past 7 months. I have been supposedly over-qualified for every job I have applied! This I cannot believe! Well, I had an interview about a 1 1/2 weeks ago, for a job at the Ellijay Animal Hospital. Now, I have no previous experience with animal hospitals. Well, I received a call last night around 6:00pm. Corey and I were in the car on our way to the store, to pick up a few things to take to my parent's home for dinner. In any event, I kept motioning to Corey to go to Walmart and he kept saying no! We do not like to go to Walmart for a quick trip. However, when I got off the phone with the animal hospital, I told Corey that we needed to go to Walmart because I had to buy my 1st pair of scrubs! That's right! I got the job!!! And today was my first day!!! It was fun to learn so many new things!

I am the new Veterinarian Technician at Ellijay Animal Hospital! I'm so excited! A new job. A new field of study. Praise God for answered prayers in providing work for our family!

Thank you for all the prayers, love and support!

Here is a picture of our first snow back at the beginning of December. Zowie was barking at the snow falling outside. We also had a ton of leaves on our porch...hehe :) But the garland look nice!

On December 7th, the Student Arts Ministry Corey and I have been working with had their Christmas Party. Here is our group photo from that night.

Then on the second weekend of December Corey and I drove to Ocala, FL to have an interview with Oak-Griner Baptist Church. However, we have already heard back from the church and they are pursuing another canidate. But here is a picture we took in the car!

Stay Tuned for Part Three! Hopefully, I will complete that today as well!

Let's Play Catch Up! Part One!

I know, I know, WAY OVERDUE!!!

We are soooooo Sorry...Every time we tried to update with our pictures and videos our computer kept messing up. But I believe we are good now!

First, let's go back to Thanksgiving....Corey and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! On Thanksgiving Day we went to my parent's home for the Cann Family Thanksgiving. Before we went to their home though, my cousin Phil and Stephanie's two middle children, Madeline and Daniel, asked my father to baptize them. So, our entire family met at First Baptist Ellijay to have a family baptism. I have a couple videos of the baptism's and a slide show of our Thanksgiving with the Cann family!

On the day after Thanksgiving (Friday) we drove down to Gainesville, GA to be with Corey's family through Saturday evening. On Friday night we had a wonderful dinner that Corey's Grandma made. On Saturday, my mother-in-law took me to get our nails and toes done. Saturday night we went to FBC Oakwood to see their light show...it was AWESOME!

Here is a slide of the great time we had with them.

Stay Tuned, I will update everyone on our December! Hopefully tomorrow!!

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

We received an early Christmas Gift from Corey's Dad & Mom. They took Corey & I, Blake & Suzianne (my brother and sister-in-law), Devin & Hillary (my brother-in-law and his girlfriend), to the:

TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA

@ the Phillip's Arena (Atlanta)

It was INCREDIBLE!!! I have put together some clips I recorded while there! Please enjoy listening to the music and watching the awesome light show!! However, beware of some screaming of excitement that will be on a few clips! (There were many excited fans...including Hillary and myself!)

ENJOY!!!

Christmas Card Photo

We took these on my parent's land,

This is our favorite! :)

A Few Weekends Ago....

A few weekends ago, we helped move Amy's sisters into their new apartment. Here is a slide with some pics from the move.

We're going to try to upload some of the videos as well. After we helped move Amy's sisters, then we dropped Corey off to go to the dirt track race with his brothers and dad! He had a blast but it was really cold.

Here is Kasey Kahne's Car!

There he goes!!!

Long Overdue Update

We know it's been forever!!!! We apologize for not updating sooner. We have misplaced our camera cord, so unfortunately we have no pictures :( Sad we know! Well, let us catch you up with our lives...

Since we moved here in June, Corey has been able to work for Amy's Uncle as part of his Maintenance Crew where we are living in Lakeside Mobile Park. Praise the Lord we've had an income. Unfortunately it is not a full-time position, his hours vary from 20-40 hours. Amy has been unable to find any jobs in the Ellijay area at this time. Unfortunately there are a ton of businesses that are not hiring due to the economy at this time.

As far as a church position for Corey, we are currently speaking with a few churches and many others have his resume. We are still praying and seeking where God will have us be.

Currently, we are attending First Baptist Church of Ellijay, GA. We have truly enjoyed worshiping there during this transition time. Amy is singing in the Adult Choir on Sunday Mornings. She is also a part of the Praise Team. The Praise Team leads in worship on a rotating basis on Sunday mornings. We both have begun to assist the Minister of Worship with the Student Arts Department. They meet on Sunday nights from 5-7pm. Corey leads them in a 20 minute devotion time, they are currently learning how to share the Gospel with people. Amy also is a part of this time and leads the Interpretive Arts for grades 7-12.

We are loving the opportunity to be close to family as well! What a blessing during this transitional time in our lives. We appreciate all the love and support we have received thus far. Feel free to drop us a line!!!

Sunday Lunch at Uncle Dan's

We had a wonderful family lunch today at Amy's Uncle Dan's Home. Enjoy the slide show!!

Thursday

This past Thursday, Amy and her mom were at the St. Joseph's Hospital in Atlanta. Amy's Dad, Ken Cann, was sent for OutPatient Procedure to see what the blockage was in his heart.
He was told he failed his stress test due to an abnormality.
This is where we spent most of our day on Thursday:

When Amy and her mom were called to the consultation with the Doctor, we were blessed to hear the news he had to share....There was NOTHING!! NO BLOCKAGES!

God had completely healed whatever ailments had been there.

PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW!!!

Father's Day

Sorry we're so far behind on the Father's Day blog!!!
We do not have internet at our place as of yet :(
Hopefully soon!!!

Well, we celebrated our Anniversary, Father's Day and
Katie's Birthday (Amy's Sister) together.

We ended up going to dinner at Papa's Pizza and then out for a
Drive-In Movie to see Kung Fu Panda and Indiana Jones!

Enjoy some pictures:

Here are the Father's Day pictures:

Anniversary

On Saturday, June 14th, Corey and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary!!!

I love this man more today than the first day I met him!!!! I love you Corey!!!

Enjoy some pics from our Reception!!

New Address

Corey and I have been "still" since Thursday Morning thru Sunday. We've really been praying together and seeking where God would have us be right now (even if it is a transitional location). We both feel that God is leading us back to Georgia at this time. We have a wonderful opportunity to be in our own place for a minimum of 6 months...I'll post pictures later. We will be loading up the U-Haul on Wednesday and leaving on Thursday morning. So, without further adeu (did I spell that right?? Spell check didn't tell me it was wrong) here is our new information:


Address:
Corey & Amy Pass

Ellijay, GA 30540

The Verdict Is....

Corey and I will not be moving to VA.
God has closed the door for us with Green Valley Baptist Church.
Praise God for provision and protection through His Will!
And a big THANK YOU to all the prayers for God's Will to be evident!

We will keep you posted on where God is leading us next.
Stay Tuned!!!!

Lunch Yesterday!

The ladies at work decided to have a lunch in honor of me leaving! Isn't that sweet!?!?!? I thought so. Well, while we were having lunch, the guys were put in charge of answering the phones!!! :) They did very well!

I've put together some pictures that I took, however there are more that should be posted on my friend's blog: http://williferlangley.blogspot.com Please check those out once she gets them up.

Update from Weekend in VA

Here is the Webpage from Green Valley's Website Last week:

We drove up on Saturday morning to Lebanon, VA. We arrived at the church about 12:45pm. We had to be there by 1pm for a meeting with some of the youth and their parents. Due to softball, baseball & soccer games, there wasn't a lot of youth there. However, it was a wonderful time of fellowship with about 5 families. We answered some questions that the youth and the parents had for us as well as ate some pizza!!! Enjoy some pictures from Saturday!

After our meeting with the families, we had the evening to ourselves! This was good, it gave Corey some time to polish up his sermon for Sunday morning and for us to spend some time together. Here are some pictures from the service Sunday Morning:

After the service, we all headed to the Fellowship Hall for a Soup Bean Supper. After we had ate, they had Corey and I stand in front of everyone and have a time of Question & Answer! AHHHH! Talk about intimidating! But how encouraging to hear some of the comments after it was all over! God is GREAT!!!! Well.....we will hear from the committee tomorrow night!!!! We will update immediately!!! Keep checking back with us for the final announcement of whether we're moving to Virginia or headed to live with the parents for a little while!
