What's up with the Rogers

So I decided to post on our blog because I haven't in awhile and realize that MM and I have many new things happening in our lives. First, we both graduate again in a few weeks and that is exciting. It seems like we just got here and dug into married life along with school and work. We like a challenge, what can I say? However, we are both relieved at the thought of having these things called "free time" and "real jobs", which brings me to my next point. We are planning to move to Memphis this summer. Mary Margaret is set up with a job, while I am still looking, or starting to, but for some reason a fresh out of graduate school non-licensed therapist doesn't draw quite the attention of a pharmacist. That being said, if anyone has any good leads for me, I appreciate them.

We are thrilled about moving for many reasons... Memphis is a new city for both of us, perhaps a place to call home. It is a quick jump to Oxford and nearly equidistant between in-laws. Memphis seems to have lots of things to do and smooth streets, both of which Jackson is lacking. Most of all, I think we are excited about what the Lord has planned for us. I think we both feel ready to be able to pour ourselves out into serving, something that we haven't been able to do as much as we would like to due to our busy lives.

However, there are a few endearing things we will miss about the Bold New City that is Jackson. We love our friends and have enjoyed the fun time we have had with them. We love our church, Redeemer, and feel like we have not invested ourselves as deeply as we could have because we knew the day would come that we would leave. Jackson is, and always will be, where we lived as newlyweds. This tiny little apartment with it's quirks and inconveniences will always hold a warm place in our hearts.

Tyler and Mary Margaret

We're separated...

Caught ya freaking out! It's not what you think... I just wanted to let all of you out there know that Tyler has started his OWN blog. As many of you know, Tyler is a very thoughtful person. He can mull over an idea for hours or even days until he has figured it out, put a spin on it, or applied it to his life. So on his blog, Mirroring Christ, you can keep up with his latest shelling out of thoughts, ideas, etc.

Don't worry, you'll still be getting lighthearted stories from me here. Hopefully my husband's posting will encourage me to write more!

On another note, I'd like to do some PR for Jenny Hardin Bradley. She has just jumped into blog world and needs some encouragement. She is probably the best writer I know, and the world needs to enjoy this art she possesses. So please, go check out Team Bradley and leave some comments. Don't do it for yourself, do it for me. Thanks!
