Hello!

So, I never write on here and pretty much forget that we have a blog! This post is for Beth and Laura, because they are probably two of about two people that will see it and appreciate it. ;) Beth, I hope you are feeling settled in your new house and that we can hang out soon!!

Our most recent excitement was a trip to Chicago for our 5 year wedding anniversary. We had a great weekend seeing the tourist stuff as well as experiencing some local night life. It was a little crazy, because it was during Joe's semester, but it was great to get away for a few days and get to see each other and something besides his text books!

The main events in our lives right now are studying for the MCAT (for Joe) and working for a crazy boss (Leslie). The MCAT is June 18, so all of life revolves around that date right now. After that, we will be in waiting mode while we wait for the MCAT scores and to hopefully hear from many med schools which are interested in interviewing Joe for acceptance to their institution of higher learning. Then, we will see where that takes us - staying here if he goes to University of Louisville or moving elsewhere to a different med school.

Other than that, we love hanging out with the best nephew in the world, Josiah... and his parents are okay too. :) We also are getting to know some international families, which has been challenging but always lots of fun. And we are looking forward to my parents coming to visit soon, and then going to visit Joe's family after the MCAT is over.

That's all I've got. Thanks for reading..... :)

Our friends are all moving away!!!

Sadly some of our friends are moving this week and some other friends are moving next week. :( This picture was taken at the going away party for the Reeds, who are moving Friday. But, the girl in the picture with Laura and me is Kimiko, our friend who is moving next week.

We will miss both couples greatly, but send them off with prayers for an exciting and fun journey as well as God's provision for their futures.

(Laura and I don't look like twins, do we?? Nah!!)

Little Josiah - our beautiful nephew!!

Hello again - to the 3 or 4 of you who will read our blog. :) My sister and brother-in-law, Laura and Nathan Knisely, had their beautiful baby boy on February 12 at 2:10pm. We love him so much and just wanted to share a few pictures with everyone(unfortunately they are the same ones as I have posted on facebook). I have a few more than my mom sent me with us in them, but I will have to scan them in at home and add them later. Please be praying for Laura and Nathan (and Josiah of course!!) as they all adjust to this new phase of life - and also pray for us and our church community as we support and encourage them.

now we have a blog!!! who woulda thought??

Hello all,
I just wanted to see if I could make a blog too - everyone has one but us, right? :) I thought it would be very complicated and I could never have one, but alas this is not the case - thanks to those who know a lot about computers creating easy ways for the rest of us to do what we would like to do, but would not normally know how to do it. Hopefully that made sense.....in essence thank you geeks for helping out the un-geeks!!

I probably won't post on here very often, but I thought I might occasionally want to post some pictures or an update from the exciting lives of the Hobacks, so now I have a way of doing that.
