More Pictures... with Jarrett :)

Good News!

I was offered the job today. YIPPEE! I will be working for a non-profit that works with early literacy and managing their annual teaching awards. I'm excited! Not so excited about the commute to Highland Park but I already borrowed a book on cd from the library in preparation for the drive. I start Monday so all my projects need to get finished in the next couple of days.

Since our last blog we've been busy...

Here we're in Rockford at the apple orchard picking raspberries and eating apple doughnuts/cider with the fam




Also, we went to an estate sale and loaded up on great stuff for the house. I'll try to update with pictures soon. I've been bad at this lately... my apologies. But for this week I have just a few more days of reading, baking, errands, sewing, crocheting, and getting ready for next week. It's been a great season not working and I feel rested and ready to go! Thanks for all the prayers!!

Home Again, Home Again

I just flew in a few hours ago from Virginia. Monday I heard that my grandfather had been in the hospital with bronchial pneumonia. He was released but needed someone to watch after him for a few days while he regained strength. I flew out Tuesday. It was a great trip and Grandpa is doing better. I busied myself in the kitchen and hopefully he has enough food to last him a few days more. I'm sure he would still appreciate your prayers. If I can get the pictures off my phone I'll post our lunch date to Chick-Fil-A and Grandpa sitting at the kitchen table (where we spent many hours just talking and enjoying one another). All in all, the trip was great. I was glad I was free and had the chance to spend a few days in the home my mom grew up in! And Fredericksburg is just beautiful right now.

Hope to see you all soon and check up via email. I am just reentering life after no internet and VERY limited news. It's good to be home!

Woo Hoo!
