Cape Girardeau

Turns out we are going to Cape Girardeau, MO! Looks like our blog is going to be called Nate and Kate in the "Show Me" State for a while now. We are very excited about going to "The Cape". It is going to be a very good fit for us. There is a possible job opportunity for me as well which is a very good thing. Nate will begin on July 1. He will get installed on July 4 and the pastor said he had fireworks around the nation planned for him. We're feeling like kind of a big deal. Haha. We are excited to be in a church that is older than the LCMS. There is a lot of very cool history in the church that we are going to. The church is just south of the birthplace of the LCMS, Perry county. I am looking forward to the small town feel of Cape even though it is a bigger town. I also am excited for the southern "boot-heel" feel of Cape. It will be a great time.

In other news, we bought a truck. It is a black Chevy S-10. We said good-bye to the Blazer aka the White Low Rider last weekend. We felt like we were betraying the White Low Rider as we drove it to Ohio to switch it out with the new truck aka Black Magic. If you are wondering why the Blazer was called the White Low Rider and the truck is called Black Magic, it is because my dad likes to give pretty much everything nicknames. It makes things interesting. So now we have a Black Magic Pickup.



That's all for now!

Countdown to Call Day

Hello Everyone!

This week is a big week for us. We are finding out this week where we will be spending all of next year on vicarage. We are very excited and can't wait to find out where we will be going. Nate is as usual very busy with seminary life. This is week seven of ten, things are slowly winding down. If you would like to view the vicarage service this Tuesday, it is at 3 p.m. and you can follow this link:

As for me (Katie), things at school are going at full speed too. About a month ago I started teaching 6-8 Language Arts, 6th Religion and 6th Literature at an inner city Lutheran school. I am filling in for a maternity leave for the rest of the school year. It has been a very good learning experience full of joys and challenges.

That is pretty much all for now. Feel free to comment and share with others. :)

P.S. Our wedding pictures are also up!

New Blog

Hello Everyone!

Since we have gotten married we decided that it would be cool to have a blog to follow us on our journey through seminary, vicarage and eventually to our call. Right now we are in St. Louis at the seminary. Since we will be moving so much we named our blog Nate and Kate in the "Show Me" State. This will change as we move. We hope you enjoy our blog!
