Well, we made the call last night to accept the position in Crete, NE.
For those of you who didn't know, we candidated at Radiant Springs Church in Crete, NE last weekend. As we left, they offered the position to us and we took a couple of days to think and pray about it. As the pastors there, we would be in charge of the Children's Ministry, help out with worship, and be general associate pastors. This is a very exciting time because we feel that the Senior Pastor will gel well with us.
Crete is a smaller town just 20 miles outside of Lincoln. They have a college of about 1,000 there-Doane College. They offer some Master's level programs so that could be an option later on. The town has a BK, Subway, Pizza Hut, Wal-Mart (YES!!!!), and just other places like these. The town population is around 7,000-so it is on the smaller side of things.
We would have to find a full-time job while we're there. I'm looking at being a bus driver for the school district (I never, ever thought I would be saying that), and Nicole is trying to become what's called a "para". It's basically a teacher's aid in the Elementary School.
So yeah, those are our plans. We hope that this will be an exciting time in our life. If you happen to think of us, shoot off a little prayer.

Great news, plus you will be a little closer to your family. I have missed you two very much.
I think you would be a great bus driver. Just stay awake ok? I know how the school bus used to put you to sleep
Congratulations! You will be great for them.
Hey Ryan and Nicole,
Congrats on your new adventure! Are you sure you don't want to come back to New York? It was nice seeing you guys and we sure did have fun. And I still do not know how to use the Apple Computer.
Take Care of each other,
Love, Eileen
CONGRATS!!!!
I bet your family will be pleased to have you both closer! Just don't turn into a Cornhusker!
