Merry Christmas & A Happy New Year!

It has been over two months since we last posted.  The reason for this is because it is hard to post when there was nothing too exciting going on. From the last post until Thanksgiving Ryan and I had been waiting to tell our families about our exciting news. We told no one until Thanksgiving! Since Thanksgiving we have been slowly letting everyone else know our fantastic news. We've lost track of who we have and haven't told. So here is our news: we're expecting a baby!

Here are some answers to questions that I get asked several times a day:

How are you feeling? Most of the time I feel fine, now that I'm into the second trimester. I was the sickest during weeks 6-9 which was right during my break from the photography job to my new current job. Every once in a while I do feel awful, but most of the time I fight through it.

How far along are you/ when is baby due? Today I am 14 weeks and 5 days. Baby Duffy is due June 20, 2014!! Just in time for summer festivities :)

Is baby a boy or girl? We don't know yet. Hopefully our doctor's visit in January will reveal this and everyone will know the gender and name. We are praying for a boy though!!

What food aversions do you have? Pretty much everything.  I've cooked once in the past 2 months because cooking anything usually upsets my stomach. What's really bad is chicken and popcorn, they have the worst smells.

What food cravings do you have? It's gotten significantly better since week 6 when all I could eat dry cereal and drink water. Around week 10 I was attempting to eat more by eating Chick-Fil-A. I like to say that Baby loves Chick-Fil-A. Coming up on week 15, I am always craving fresh summer fruits (watermelon, blueberries, and cantaloupe), carrots, turkey subs, and plain chips. I'm sure all of this will change come next week!

What is your current job? The photography "season" ended on Halloween, just a week after I found out I was pregnant. It was perfect because it gave me time to find another job while attempting to relax at home. I applied and interviewed for several nannying positions, but none seemed the right fit. Then I remembered that the same day that I was hired for the photography job that I also had said 'no' to another awesome opportunity for a job. So I contacted them and was hired just 2 days later! I now work at Goldfish Swim School where I teach and lifeguard children from ages 4 months to 12 years. Since being hired I have done 50 hours of training, got lifeguard certified and took the test to teach my own classes. So yes, I'm in a swimsuit and rashguard with my up-and-coming baby bump. I'm also getting plenty of exercise by being in a pool for 4 hours at a time.

How can you pray for us? Ryan is still looking for a pastoral position for when his internship is finished in June, just in time for Baby to come. Everything will be happening at once: moving, new jobs, and Baby. We are also waiting to hear from the state about getting our hospital expenses completely paid for because we don't have the funds for all these doctor's visits.

At the last Doctor's appointment Baby would not be still enough
for a heartbeat. At first I was nervous because the doctor had to use 3
different mechanisms before giving up and going to the sonogram.
This is a terrible but most recent picture of Baby from December 16, 2013.

Chris & Stacy's Wedding Weekend

This past Saturday Ryan had the opportunity to be the Best Man in his marine buddy's wedding.  I had only known Chris from the week leading up to our wedding and he stayed at my home with Ryan. Chris and Ryan are "two peas in a pod" and "feed off of each other" when it comes to joking around.  These two had guests laughing most of the time! Stacy is one of the sweetest women you will ever meet. I first met her the Thursday night before the wedding. Being that I was not part of the bridal party and was there nice and early, I was able to observe a lot of things. Come Saturday, I assisted in any way that I could. From major things like making sure people were ready on time to the little things like adjusting the bride's stunning dress for pictures. I enjoyed every minute of helping behind the scenes at Chris and Stacy's wedding. Here are some photos from the day [sorry for the quality of some, they were taken on my iPhone because I wasn't sure if they would have an Instagram!]

The first look in front of the Chapel on the church property.

Chris reading Stacy his vows.

The Kiss!

Before the ceremony they went downtown to a coffee shop for some pictures.
An older couple allowed them to take pictures in their Fiat Trolley!

I also had the opportunity to get to know Andrea Dozier, the wedding photographer. She has such a fantastic personality! She allowed me to help with adjusting the brides dress and getting people where they needed to be for certain pictures. It was so wonderful working with her. She is one phenomenal photographer, and I don't mean just her photographs! Here is her website: http://www.andreadozier.com/

What we are planning next: Ryan's whole side of the family is coming over on Saturday for Dinner. This will be the first time we are hosting a group of people in our apartment since we have settled in. Also, this week is the first of a six-week training for our first 5k as a married couple. We will be doing the Turkey Trot in Downtown Cleveland on Thanksgiving morning [that way we can eat all we want on that day!] 

How you can pray for us: We are currently looking for a church where Ryan could become pastor or assistant pastor come next June. We know that it is still 7 months away, but it's never too early to begin looking. Please pray that God will guide us and that we will make the wise decision where we will settle.

An Answered Prayer

"Our real blessings often appear to us in the shape of 

pains, losses, and disappointments;

but let us have patience 

and we soon shall see them in their proper figures."

-Joseph Addison-

It's been 3 days short of our 3 months of marriage and I have been looking since the wedding to find a consistent job. If you know me, you would know that I have to be doing something. Always. I had 2 jobs during every summer while in college, a full semester (or more) every semester plus sports and a job or two on top of those. I cannot sit at home. 

So 3 months, 23 applications, 7 interviews, and a truckload of prayers and support later, I am happy to announce that I have a consistent job! Tomorrow night will be my final night at the field. It was a fun job while it lasted (which means I can attend more games to get injured at :) ) I am working at Ripcho Studio as a photographer. I walked in, filled out the application, the owner showed me around, I asked questions then he hired me! I wish every other interview was like that! I know that God was holding out for the best for his daughter. The staff are super friendly as well as the owner. I have training Saturday, (which is perfect because Ryan will be away at the BBC Golf Classic) then I will be "on my own" on Monday.

here is their website: http://www.ripchostudio.com/

The day starts fairly early, but I will still be able to get home in time to cook dinner before Ryan gets home. I am looking forward to the consistent schedule and being able to attend church with my husband once again. Thank you all so much for your prayers! I am beyond blessed to have so many people concerned about Ryan and I.  

Labor Day Weekend

This past Friday into Saturday Ryan and I went out to his parent's house. Ryan has been putting in new windows in their sunroom and they look great! Ryan got off work early on Friday and we packed up the car and got on the road. Friday night we went to a car show where there were pretty sweet looking cars. Hot dogs, sweet corn on the cob and funnel cake was the choice of food for the evening. It reminded me of being home in NJ and attending September Fest and at college attending Italian Fest (which are both this weekend as well).  We may have moved, but the tradition lives on! On Saturday Ryan worked on attempting to finish the windows (which he's finishing today). After 7 loads of laundry, full stomachs, and sleepy eyes, we headed back home to our apartment.

Sunday was also an eventful day. We attended church, had lunch with our good friends Katie and Andrew at Whole Foods Market (amazing!), went grocery shopping, attended a surprise birthday party for a dear friend from church, then finally made it home.  Today (Monday) is exactly what it says on the calendar: Labor Day. Ryan went back out to his parent's to complete the window installation and I am heading to the ballpark to work. Before my job was to keep track of 25 of the 60 vendor's sales during each game. Tonight I am starting in a new spot: the box suites! We shall see if I enjoy this one more.

Always an Adventure

If you have been reading, you would know that I am currently working at Progressive Field on nights that the Indians are home. I decided to take last night off so that Ryan and I could attend the game together. After a lovely 3 1/2 hours of driving around between different government buildings to get things for our cars, we took the "trek" to downtown Cleveland. (It's a whole 15 minutes by train.)

The game we had chosen to attend was full of exciting things on the schedule: Rally Alley, free Swisher replica jersey to the first 10,000 fans, John Adams appreciation (the man that plays the drum), and fireworks. We got there nice and early so that we could get our free jerseys which was successful. Ryan and I then went to spend 2 1/2 hours in the city before the first pitch. We went to Flannery's Irish Pub and it was so delicious!

The Indians were playing an amazing game with 2 runs and 2 home runs by the end of the third inning. It was during the fourth inning that made the evening a little bit of an adventure. Ryan and I were in our section 175, row U seats when I see everyone around me stand up and start yelling "watch out!" and "I got it!".  I look up to see the foul ball coming right toward me. At that point it was too late. The ball wacked me on the leg and bounced down a step before the man 3 rows in front of me caught it in his hand. I just sat there in shock for a couple seconds taking in the fact that I was hit extremely hard with a MLB baseball.

Then it finally hit me. Next thing I knew there were people getting my information, asking me a million questions, and getting me a gurney while I sobbed into my husband's arm like a baby. (I hate attention and there was no way of getting away from it.) They put me on a gurney and wheeled me through the crowd to the opposite side of the field. Ryan held my hand the entire time. At this point I was okay. No more tears. I got checked by the nurse, got ice and pain killer, and walked all the way back to our seats. There were fans around us that were chanting "give her the ball", but the man who had it was not going to give up his souvenir.

Two things I loved about this experience: how strong the love from my husband really is and how much my coworkers genuinely care about me. It is truly a blessing to be married to a protective husband that wants to get me the best care possible... all while updating his friends about the "play-by-play" happenings of the process. It's also wonderful to have a job that I love and look forward going in to. To have coworkers that are like brothers, sisters, moms, and dads that are always looking out for the best for me. I love my job at Progressive Field and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

love, 

Mrs. Duffy

Blessings with Patience

Last Thursday I decided to fill out the application for substitute teaching in the local public schools.  Just like every other job that I had applied for in the past month, I was not expecting a call back from them. Especially since I don't have an Ohio State Teaching License nor was I in the process of getting one and school starts in about a month.

Well I had already accepted 2 jobs, one at Progressive Field on game nights as well as working evenings at the local restaurant on the corner. The Indians job was just for fun and experience (and free baseball games!) but I didn't have full confidence in the waitressing job.  I had never done it before and I would be working every night except for Sunday while Ryan works every day except Saturday.  No fun for a couple that was just married less than 2 months ago. So this is why I had applied to substitute teach, since that's what my degree is in.

I have decided to go with the Field job, just for a little added excitement until the end of the season. I also chose the subbing job because of the company I am working with. How it works is the schools call the company to given sub openings. The sub openings are then posted on the company's website. If you want to sub, you pick the days and places! It's so easy! If there are days that I don't want to teach, then I don't have to. PLUS, my foot is in the door to be placed for a teaching position in the public schools based off of my subbing.  PLUS, they will help me further my education for the Special Education degree that I would like to get someday!

I had been waiting and stressing over getting a job when God had it right in front of me the entire time. Thanking the Lord for the many blessings of provision while we have been married and looking forward to seeing how the provision will continue as we seek Him together.  Just as I was told almost 2 years ago from my daddy: look up Psalm 138:8a when you are lost.

"The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me." 

And that is exactly what He has been doing in the Duffy's lives.

Since the Wedding...

Be prepared... this is a long one! 

Well it's been a whole one month and one day since our Wedding Day and things are moving along just dandy. Our Wedding Day could not have been more perfect and we want to thank everyone that allowed the day to run smoothly! Here are some of my favorites from our non-official photography friends:

After the wedding we went off to our private beach house at the Cayman Islands. Apparently it was hurricane season, so there was almost no one on the island.  We rented a car and did anything that we felt like doing, which was often times nothing since we both just completed school.

We came back to my house in NJ and headed off for Cleveland. You could say that we had a few things...

When we first got to Cleveland, we moved in with the Joyce's for two weeks while we waited to move into our first apartment. And we finally have been settled in for 10 days now! I can honestly say that this apartment is in the best location in Cleveland... I can walk down the street 3 buildings to all of the "necessary" shops such as a grocery store, CVS, bank, and restaurants! 

What we are doing now: Ryan is working as a pastoral intern at Cedar Hill Baptist Church 4 days a week and for his brother in the carpentry business 2 days and he gets Saturday off.  As for me, I am still waiting to hear back from the school about a final interview for a half-day Kindergarten teaching position. I have also applied to many other jobs, one of them being Starbucks (because they're everywhere!). I interviewed with them last week and I find out Thursday if I got the position. If I have, I will be working 10 minutes away from home, won't be working when I get home,  and we will have full benefits in just 3 months! If I go with the teaching position, I will be 30 minutes from home, be working just as much (& then some) as a full time first year teacher, and money will be saved for any emergencies. So right now we are praying for Starbucks!

Birthday Blessings

This morning my Dad and I began the day bright and early with a 5K.  And can I just say that it was quit the experience! Daddy-Daughter bonding and challenging to finish the race.  There were a couple reasons why we embarked on this adventure for today: 1. I needed an excuse to workout before the wedding (if you know me, you're laughing inside right now) and 2. I am keeping with a new birthday tradition.  Beginning my freshman year of college I began this tradition that on my birthday I would do something selfless and give back what I am blessed with.  Here is what I have done so far:

Freshman year I donated a bunch of my

"gently loved" stuffed animals to 

AI Dupont Children's Hospital. 

I wish I could have seen the faces on

those children when they got them!

Sophomore year I went on a missions trip with the BBC Softball team

for 10 days.  While there we worked with SCORE international

doing some work in the community, visited orphanages, went to

villages and put together VBS for the children and even played

a game of softball against a girl's team! This is a sweet girl, Megan,

who was at one of the orphanages.

SCORE's website: http://www.scoreintl.org/#all

Junior Year I went on a 3 week missions trip to Durban, Kokstad, 

and Hammanskraal South Africa where I had the opportunity

to help two churches, visit orphanages, and spend time at Bethesda

Children's Home. The final week here was when Ryan and I 

began our courtship. This is Ryan and I at the Bethesda Children's Home.

Bethesda Children's Home website: http://bethesda-home.org/

Senior year I ran the 5K with my Dad.  This 5K was hosted by my 

mom's alma mater, Rowan University, and was put on to 

raise awareness about child abuse.  There were several 

factors that went into choosing this race: 1. fighting child

abuse, 2. on my birthday, and 3. everyone is dressed like

super heroes! What could be better?! This is the 

before-and-after picture of Daddy and I at the race.

(It doesn't look like it but yes, we ran the entire thing :) )

I wonder what will stumble onto my path for next year's birthday??

What we are doing now: Tomorrow afternoon Ryan and Chris (a trusty groomsman) will be making the travel over to the East Coast.  So begins Wedding Week! The ball has begun rolling and people begin coming so soon! I cannot wait to see everyone together in one place!

Meet Pup!

We are happy to announce that today we have a new addition to our soon to be family!  His name is Milo and he is a 10 1/2 week old toy Yorkie!  My dad got him as a birthday gift for me (which is next Saturday).  He is sweet, timid and a little pup of joy! I can't wait for everyone to meet him! Here are some pictures from the busy and exciting day:

First time holding him!

riding home!

(after a fresh haircut, nails done, and some new clothes!)

playing at home!

tired after a long day of exciting new things!

For anyone interested: Here is who we went to for Milo.  She is a single woman and all she does is breed Yorkies and shows them.  It is truly a great place to get a pup from! [http://www.yorkiesyorkiesyorkies.com/]

Two More Weeks

It is a blessing to be able to wake up early and study the Scriptures. I opened the Scriptures to Psalm 37 and read it several times during this quiet Saturday morning.  It was like a breathe of fresh air. God knew just what I needed during this whirlwind of wedding planning.  Psalm 37 is filled with so many little reminds that are all too often forgotten.  Here are some of those reminders:

"Trust in the LORD, and do good." 

verse 3

"Delight yourself in the LORD,

and he will give you the desires of your heart."

verse 4

"Commit yourself to the LORD;

trust in him, and he will act."

verse 5

"Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him."

verse 7

"The steps of a man are established by the LORD,

when he delights in his way;

though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,

for the LORD upholds his hand."

verses 23-24

"The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD;

he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.

The LORD helps them and delivers them;

he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,

because they take refuge in him."

verses 39-40

What we are doing now: Ryan returned to Cleveland yesterday after spending the week in Chicago at Moody's Pastor's Conference with Pastor Green.  He jumped right back into working on carpentry for the final week.  He will be heading out here on Sunday, June 2nd for the final home stretch of the wedding planning!  I will be going out with my dad to pick out a puppy for Ryan and I.  The two pups that I previously posted about did not work out, so we were back to square one.  With a little patience, my dad was able to find the dog of my dreams and we are finally getting him today!! I will post about him later if I can pull myself away from him for a few moments!

~ soon-to-be Mrs. Duffy

Graduation Weekend!

Well, we finally did it!  Ryan and I had the privilege of graduating on Saturday, May 11, 2013 from Baptist Bible College.  I managed to cry several times throughout graduation day, most of which was being reminded of how faithful God has been throughout my 4 years at BBC.  Right in the middle of my schooling I went through a whirlwind of change in my course in life.  I was 98 percent sure that I was not going to go back to BBC to complete my Junior year after these circumstances.  But my dad texted me this verse on morning:

Psalm 138:8

"The LORD will fulfill His purpose for me;

Your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever.

Do not forsake the work of your hands."

It was that day that I knew God had a plan for my life and that being at BBC would best equip me for this plan.  If I hadn't stayed, I wouldn't have met Ryan, or gone to Africa, or been Biblically grounded.  This is the verse that I had tattooed onto my back as a reminder.  I also decorated my graduation cap with that verse as well as a little bit from the movie UP.  We are beyond grateful for the impact that BBC, it's students and staff have made on our lives.

What we are doing now: I have settled in back home and have begun planning for the wedding (seriously this time).  Ryan is out in Cleveland working for his brother doing carpentry which I am extremely grateful for.  These next 22 days of being apart are going to be the toughest of our relationship thus far.  We haven't been apart for this long since last summer.  I am hoping that the busyness of planning the wedding and playing with the pup (which I still need to pick up) will help distract me.  It won't be long until we are together once again.

~ soon-to-be Mrs. Duffy

A Whirlwind Weekend

This past weekend Ryan and I took a short-notice trip out to Cleveland.  The things that had been questions to us where answered during this weekend.  One of the questions was whether or not I would have a job.  In the earlier post I has informed you all that I was told about a Kindergarten and First Grade teaching position in a Christian School in Cleveland.  I had no plans on getting a job right out of college, especially in a place where no one knew me.  But God knew otherwise.

I was called on April 25th to come out for an interview before we got married.  That meant that this past weekend was the only time I was available.  So on Thursday night we made our way to Cleveland.  I had my meeting of the staff and students followed by my interview that I had never wanted to end.  The school administrator asked me on the spot at the end of the interview if I could come back and meet the board. Although I was aiming for the Kindergarten position, I am happy to say that I will be teaching First Grade! We are both blessed with jobs that will help us start off financially on the right foot.

After the interview Friday and on Saturday we went apartment hunting.  We found two that we loved, but are still deciding what will be best for our budget, the first year, driving, and so on.  Ryan will be going home next week to check out some more and we will decide then.  Please continue to pray that God would allow us to find our first home.

One of the factors that is also postponing our housing decision is the choice to have or not have dogs.  If you know me, you would know that I have always had a pet, my first job was at a zoo, and my dream job since I was 7 was to be a Zoologist.  Well, with Ryan working 6 days a week and me being home all summer in a town that I do not know, I set out on a quest to find puppies.  And with great success, I am proud to show you the pictures of our puppies, Milo and Cocoa!  I will be picking them up next Monday when I am finally home from college.

On Saturday, Ryan and I will be walking across the stage and will be graduates from Baptist Bible College.  The big changes are beginning to come.  Please continue to pray for God's guidance in our lives.

Thinking. Loving Doing.

Thinking. Loving. Doing. A Call to Glorify God with Heart and Mind is a book that John Piper and David Mathis have put together.  The authors also include Rick Warren, Francis Chan, R.C. Sproul, R. Albert Mohler Jr., and Thabiti Anyabwile.  I highly recommend you read it.  Today I read through a chapter by R.C. Sproul and had some wonderful reminders:

"He [Piper] understands the foundational principles

of our humanity as it was created by God, the truth

that we will NEVER by fully satisfied, we will NEVER

discover ultimate pleasure, until we find it in God himself.

This is the pleasure we should be seeking with all our being."

~

"I'm a human being. More accurately, I'm a human becoming.

I still have potential that has not yet been realized. I'm changing.

I'm undergoing mutations. That is the chief characteristic of creaturely 

existence - mutability. We change. But God does not. That means my 

being is not found in me independently. None of us created ourselves.

All of us are dependent on something before us to account

for our very existence."

                                     love,

Wedding Showers Weekend

This past weekend we had the opportunity to take a trip out to Cleveland for two Wedding Showers on Saturday.  We were blessed to have Mrs. Duffy and Heather, Ryan's sister, put one together for us at the church where his father is the pastor.  The second one was at the church that we will be attending when we move out there after the wedding, was put together by a dear friend, Susan.  I was able to meet many brothers and sisters in Christ that I look forward to serving alongside with in the upcoming year.

Some of you may be reading this and are wondering, "Why Cleveland?"  Well, Ryan will be taking on an internship under Pastor Green at Cedar Hill Baptist Church as well as working with his brother, Paul, with carpentry.  I am beyond excited to be a part of Cedar Hill and the Gospel-centered ministries that come with it.  As for me, I was told this weekend of a Kindergarten and First Grade teaching position that is open in the Christian school not too far from where we plan on making our home.  I will find out in the next couple weeks and will be sending my papers that way.  This is such an answer to prayer!  I was not expecting to be able to have my own classroom, especially so quickly!  Please pray for me as I am preparing for this position if the school administration so chooses that they would like me to join their team.

This weekend we will be going to my home for the first time since Christmas vacation.  And I am ready to be home.  I have a lot planned, such as breakfast with mom, first dress fitting, and wedding meetings galore.  I am excited to do some crafts and begin to prepare for the wedding that is in just 74 short days.  But first, graduation...

Quotables

I am currently Student Teaching in a public school in Kindergarten and I am absolutely loving it!  One thing that I love is the phrases that some of the students come up with.  Here are some that I was able to record, just from today:

"If I'm going to tell my mom about something that happened in school,

what am I going to do? 

Tell her the (summary)." - Miss Harris

"Summer Christmas!" - Little Man

"Is it almost snack time?

Because my ear hurts." - Little Man

"What makes lava hot?" - Miss Harris

"Hot sauce and hot dogs!" - Little Men

"That homework was really cheap from the store!" - Little Man

(meaning it was really easy, so we should do more)

"How do I know that this shape is a rectangle?" - Miss Harris

"Because our Cheetos told us!" - Little Ladies

"What do you think is going to grow from this seed?" - Miss Harris

"A butterfly!" - Little Lady

"What other plants grow from under the ground?" - Miss Harris

"Frogs!" - Little Lady

"How come you are coming in so late?" - Miss Harris
"I was having a sleep over." - Little Man
(He means that he overslept.)

I'm sure there will be plenty more sayings that I will love to requote! I have such a fun bunch of Smarties!

*names are not given for the safety of the children.

The Little Details

I am currently in the middle of my two student teaching placements with an extra day to recuperate.  I took the day to come to a decision on some little details.  One of those was the table numbers that I am absolutely in love with!  Ryan and I traveled to South Africa together on a missions tried at the beginning of our relationship.  So when I stumbled upon these on Pinterest, I had to make them for the wedding!

This is the original photograph that I found on Pinterest.

How I recreated these table numbers:

1. Found a template of Africa on Google.

2. Turned the template of Africa by changing the color to blue 

and the outline to "Pencil Sketch" under Artistic Effects on Word.

3. Downloaded the Return to Sender font.

(a. Click on "Download" in the top right hand corner.

b. Open the folder.

c. Click "install".

d. Open a Word document and find your new font under the font names!)

4. Typed out "TABLE" and the number.

5. Adjusted the Africa Template until it fit perfectly around the words.

6. Cut out each shape, leaving enough space to see the outline of Africa.

These took me a couple of hours to make only because I wanted them to look just 

like the ones that I found and I did it all independently.
