Preparing to move

Rachel and I are getting ready to move. Many Boxes have been packed but there will be many many more to come. Tonight I’ll be hanging out with a few guys from the office. I’m lazier than normal when my wife is gone so Wednesday, when she is at nursery until 9, I will probably not get a lot done, and Thursday will be the same since she will be headed to Jacksonville that day. I will need a little boost in will power.

In regards to preparing everything for our arrival in New Orleans, I have been a little more diligent. The apartment is secure, arrangements have been made to get the extra vehicle down there (since we will have a moving truck), and the moving truck has been reserved (which cost a small fortune). A few job applications have been filled out and all my paperwork for admission into the seminary has been turned in.

I am getting pretty excited about being in New Orleans. I’m also getting very anxious. We have been preparing for some time to go and a lot of decisions going back as far as over a year ago have been made based on us leaving for seminary in August.

Furlough did not help financially, but it was definitely a sign from God that we needed to go ahead and leave for this upcoming semester. About the time we were told about it, we had just about decided to wait until January to go. Like most at BPC, I wasn’t too excited about the decision by the Executive Counsel to make us take unpaid vacation days and decided that it wasn’t worth it to stick around.

The plan is to head out of Mount Vernon on August 5, go most of the way to New Orleans, get a hotel, and finish the drive Thursday morning. Classes start August 17!

Welcome to My Blogsite!

Welcome to Complimentary Considerations from Crosby's Cranium! I would like to tell you a little about myself since this is my first blog. My name is Michael Crosby. I am married to a beautiful young lady named Rachel. We are both 23 (at the time of this post) and are headed to New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in August. I have two sisters, Amanda and Melissa. (I am the middle child.) I love to play guitar, tweet, and play video games. Lately though, my time has been more consumed with finding an apartment, getting all of my paperwork turned in for seminary, and finding a job. I have never been a big reader so I would have to say that my biggest weakness is a lack of studying God's Word.

I do not yet know the full extent to which I will be using this blog, but my intentions right now are to write a monthly update for me and my wife's friends and family in Georgia and Texas letting them know how we're doing, etc. I will probably blog on various other subjects every now and then as well. Feel free to comment if there is a particular subject in which you would like to hear* my thoughts on. Issues that attract me: Theology, Ministry, and Politics. -Crosby
