SPU Here I Come!
Almost three years ago I posted that I had been accepted to Seattle Pacific University but that I would go to Regent College first. In that post I had claimed that after Regent I would come back to attend SPU. Well things changed a little and I had changed my mind (largely due to cost) and would try to go to WWU instead. Little did I know that that would not work out and I would spend a year in Bellingham in limbo. I figured I would apply to SPU again and see what would happen.
I am quite happy to announce that my original plans will be coming true; I have been accepted to SPU’s ARC and Masters program!
I am pretty excited to start this fairly intense program (certification and a masters in five quarters instead of 2 years) but will also be somewhat sad to leave Bellingham. I have become more involved with my church here and have really been enjoying working with YoungLife. It will be hard to leave them, but very nice to be back in Seattle.
So come mid-May I will be hauling all my crap back down south!
Congratulations Matt! Glad that things are finally on the roll again. A living form of Pilgrim’s Progress.
Coming for Summer School @Regent?

Fantastic! Sounds great. Loved my time at SPU…great school and great city!
I just want to tell you, good luck, we’re all counting on you.
Yay! I’m so happy for you!
Thank you everyone for your well-wishes! They are greatly appreciated!
I am excited to be back in Seattle and to get my teaching career started.
@Conrad: I wish I could take some summer classes up there, they always have an amazing selection, but the classes at SPU start this summer.
@Nancy: Thanks so much, it will be nice to be farther South again!
@Andrea: I am glad you did, you went there for undregrad right? I have heard a lot of good things about SPU and this program is highly respects, so that is great!
@Kristin: Haha, shush, I can feed lies to people whether I am well trained or not.
@Becky: Thanks Becky! I think I will be living with Greg and Angie in a “transition” year for them. I will get to play with baby DiLo lots!
Leaving Bellingham is always a good thing…
