Let Me Bring You Up to Speed....

Life in the Heyne house is fairly predictable and, much like Hobbits, we like it that way (that's right, I love Lord of the Rings). Here's a quick recap of what goes on in the life of a hiney, I mean Heyne...

Tim - He is still working as loan officer at First Commonwealth Mortgage. If you ever need help with an existing mortgage or when buying a house he'd love to help you out! He's rapidly closing out his 6th year at the company and hopes (as far as I know) to continue there well into the future - unless a better offer arises. Tim got the running bug last July and still hasn't fully recovered (I'm pretty sure his sister Alicia gave it to him). While running is certainly not my sport (it's a sport, right?), I have done my best to join alongside my hubby and run with him. In fact, Tim decided to train for the Derby Mini-Marathon this spring and, being the supportive wife that I am, I chose to join him in the training. The group we meet with is through our church (Southeast Christian Church) and we currently meet with them every Saturday morning and subject ourselves to, what I can only refer to as, cruel and unusual punishment. I know what you're thinking and no, I am not overreacting! Last weekend's run consisted of single digit temperatures, almost sub-zero wind chills, and lots of snow. Despite the running, however, it has been an enjoyable experience for me and it's been fun to have an activity to do with Tim that he enjoys!

Rachel (that's me) - I am currently finishing up my last semester in undergrad at Campbellsville University Louisville. Can you believe it? The girl who vowed never to go back to school is about to graduate! The only thing I can say is, God is GOOD! This journey has been all about His work in my life and it's only by His grace that I've come this far. After graduation I will receive the wonderful gift of two whole months off from school, at the end of which I will dive head-first into grad school. The purpose behind all of this schooling? I hope to one day become an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist). That's right, one day I hope to be one of those cool people with letters behind their name - I can't wait! In the meantime I am simply trucking along hoping to finish out the semester with decent grades, but let's be honest, I've got MAJOR senioritis (hence the blogging).

Tim and I will be celebrating our 5th wedding anniversary this August - we can't believe it's been that long!! While God has taught us much about Himself, marriage, and each other over the last few years, I truly believe we become sillier and more immature with each passing day. (How many 25 year old gals do you know who put on sock puppet shows for their husband??) Nevertheless, God has kept our relationship fun, exciting, and filled with laughter as we become better friends every day.

While that's not exactly an exhaustive look into our lives, hopefully it gives you a better idea of who we are and what we do. We love the Lord, we love each other, we love our families and friends, and we're so excited about the journey laid before us. Peace out!
