Graduation

I Graduated! Then we celebrated with family and friends
at Paradise Cove. It was a wonderful, and long-awaited day! : )

Baja Mission Trip

This was probably the most fulfilling thing we've ever done.

Mom...look how much I improved. I know Micah improved more, but still...we found out the secrets. : )

Dad's Hall of Fame Dinner Night

Bullard High School Hall of Fame

Last night we went to Fresno because my dad was inducted into the Bullard High School Hall of Fame. We had a nice dinner, and my dad got up and told several stories about his high school baseball days. Most of our family was able to go, and lots of friends of my dad as well. It was a really special night, and we were happy we could be there. : )
There will be pictures to come soon...

Enjoying Our Days Off

We have been to Disneyland twice in the last couple of weeks. I've had a couple of fridays off and Erica doesn't have any school on fridays...therefore, we go to Disneyland. Last friday we rode Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blaster three times. Thank God for days of fun!

Micah and I just decided yesterday that we are going to move on January 14th instead of February 4th. This was due to the fact that we would save a lot of money if we moved before the 1st of February. Anyway, just wanted to let you all know. If anyone is available to help us on that Saturday, we would gladly welcome the help! We desperately need people to help us move out. I think we will have enough people to help us move in down in Whittier. Hope you all are doing well!

Christmas in Fresno

Here are the Solbergs opening Christmas presents at my Uncle's.

This is my sister, Kelly, and I. We had so much fun when we were there. I miss her!

Isn't this a great picture of Micah? We don't have any pictures of us from Christmas where he isn't making a funny face. : )

This is us getting engaged in Yosemite this time last year. : )

Need an update?

Well, it has been awhile since either of us have posted anything on here, so I will bring you all up to date on what has been going on with us. Micah still loves his new job at Whittier. We are planning to move into an apartment there on February 4. It is a two bedroom, two bath place with a washer and dryer inside. We are very excited about that! Living in Whittier will be great for Micah because he will be so close to work and his job. I am excited about the move as well, except it will mean a few months of a long commute to Pepperdine. Please pray that God will keep me safe on the roads during that time.
We just got back from Christmas in Fresno yesterday. It was so much fun and great to be with my family for a few days. However, we are missing the Fosters up north because we did not get to see them for the holidays this year. We will see them at the Zoe conference in January though. Yippee!
I will begin my part time student teaching after the break. I am excited and dreading it at the same time, but more excited. : ) Graduation is not too far away. My parents have already made reservations to come down for it. I can't believe how fast the time has gone.
Micah and I are both sick now...I guess it's just that cold that is going around. We are hoping to be better for New Year's Eve so we don't miss out on all the fun! That is all I have for now.
Love you all,
Erica

Giving Thanks to God

I am thankful on this day for God's protection, his Love, the love he has entrusted me with for Erica and the life we have together. Life is a very precious thing, do everything in your power to preserve it ... and lean on God through it all. And never forget to pray.

New Job

Title: Associate Minister
Job Emphasis: Youth Ministry (80%), Various (20%)
Church: Whittier Church of Christ, Whittier, CA

We are getting ready to accept a proposal from the church and we want to thank all those people who have been praying for us. It has been a long couple of months looking for work. I've interviewed for about 12 jobs and I wasn't hired for a single one, until now. The one Youth Ministry job I've gone for ... God has opened the door!

Our Birthdays Have Past

Erica and I have now celebrated both of our birthdays. Erica's parents and sister are on their way to our apartment as I type. They are coming down for the day and night. We're going to go check out the Camarillo Outlets and then head out to Santa Monica. We'll eat dinner in Venice at a really good Italian place.

I'm still on the job hunt. We're heading back out to Whittier CoC tomorrow to teach the High School class again. I am told that the Elders would like to speak with me about a possible job opportunity there. We'll see how God leads that and if it is His will that we accept ... it will be made clear.

God is good. All the time.

Annual Thanksgiving Youthfest

California Inferno

CNN was labeling the southern California fires as California Inferno. At this point only one structure has been destroed but 20,000 acres were burnt and it is at 20% containment. Fortunately, we are not close to the fires. But here are some pictures that I took while driving to and from Malibu yesterday. These are just north of the 101 freeway at the Lost Hills exit, for those of you who know the area.

Shane & Shane Contest

Check out this contest sponsered by Relevantmagazine.com and InPop Records. It's pretty awesome.

Seinfeld & Shingles

Well, we went back to Fresno this weekend so that Erica could help with Ladie's Day at College CoC. My mom, Cheryl, was being honored for her service to God and work within the women's ministry.

While we were in Fresno we were able to see Seinfeld live. That was a pretty awesome blessing. I haven't laughed so hard since the show went off the air. Did you know Seinfeld is 51 years old and got married in his mid-40's? Crazy!

While we were in town I went to a walk-in clinic and was diagnosed with shingles. It stays dormant in your spine until it is activated by stress. I guess I've been stressed out from being on the job hunt for three weeks. On the up side, I got some medicine and I have another interview tomorrow. We'll see what happens. Keep us in your prayers. God is good and he will provide.
