The Kocher Couple
What's old...
Heather is just now completing her first year of teaching at Baptist Bible College as a graduate assistant. She is both pleased with the opportunity and happy to have a break until next semester - when the whole process begins again.
Christopher is more comfortable with his job at Advance Auto Parts now that he has competent employees working under him and a very nice boss over him. Of course, any job that is not one's chosen profession and that is run by unregenerate auto geeks will always be a little... interesting. But he is very thankful for the experience and the paycheck which has greatly helped to diminish the school bill.
Christopher and Heather have been attending Heritage Baptist Church and are in the process of becoming members - apparently it is a very long process. They are involved in the young marrieds Sunday school class. Heather and Christopher lead and organize the prayer time in the class and Christopher is involved with the leadership team. They have come to really appreciate the class and the people involved.
What's new...
Friends! Although Heather and Christopher have many single friends, they have been excited to get to know several young married couples as well. They have enjoyed outings with different couples, including tennis matches now that the weather is improving.
Grad School! Heather starts 2, two-week sessions at the end of June and is a little nervous after looking at the monster syllabi. She will begin preparing as soon as school lets out.
Seminary! Christopher is finally starting. Assuming he gets accepted, and undoubtedly he will considering his wife's reference, he will start classes in the fall. This also means he will drop a position at Advance Auto Parts and take a pay cut. The plan is to have all school bills paid by the time he starts seminary, so the pay cut shouldn't be too devastating to the couple's outrageously indulgent lifestyle. Just kidding... about the indulgent lifestyle part... anyway...
New apartment! The plan is to move into a smaller (ie: cheaper) apartment to save money during seminary years. The move is scheduled for end of May, beginning of June... which means there is a lot of packing to accomplish in only a few weeks. But excitement is building as the couple anticipates leaving "the apartment complex" world... along with all of its oddities.
In summary, God has blessed and we are grateful.

Sounds like lots of school is in both your pasts and both your futures. (Glad it's you and not us!) However, I'm sure you'll both do great.
Do you both know Justin & Julie Busby? I think they are attending Heritage and I know they do a lot with the young married's. Justin just graduated from BBC and Julie will graduate in Dec. We have known Justin since he was 2!
