Job! Sort of!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I got a substitute teaching position in the Mehlville School District and am VERY excited that I will at least be able to get into a classroom a couple of times this year (or MANY, hopefully). It's definitely a step in the right direction and definitely a blessing from God. I met a girl from church who just got a teaching job there and she requested me and poof! I got a job! So it's wonderful news. Hopefully I can get in a few more schools and hopefully work 5 days a week for those sick or worn out teachers! Pray I can sub for a maternity leave or illness (not that I wish illness on anyone...)!

Friends and Fam

This Lovely thing was a visitor we had for a day who decided to spend a day in our flowers outside!

So we have been visited and have been visiting people this past weekend and last! Last Friday we were visited by Andy's parents for a couple of hours. We got to visit, eat lunch, and share some of our wedding photos with them before they had to head out to get Cait and travel west. It was a great visit and they brought us beautiful roses from their garden to make a great bright addition to our coffee table!

This very Wednesday we headed up to Schaumburg to visit with my parents and see Megan off before she leaves to Mexico on the 17th. So Thursday I went out to breakfast with her and Andy went and saw Dan. It was great to see them. I especially enjoyed seeing Megan and it was a bittersweet meeting because I haven't seen her in a while and now I won't see her for a long time, but I'm so happy we came up and saw her. (I've known Megan for almost 20 years now)

Friday I got to spend some good quality time with my Mom which was great and felt like old times. Andy and I played Nertz (a card game) with my mom and dad and had a great time cracking up about how slow my dad can be at fast pace games. Unfortunatly our stay was not very long.

On Saturday we headed down to New Lenox for Kyle and Lisa's wedding! (Andy lived with Kyle the same year I lived with Lisa!) It was a beautiful ceremony and just a fun time. I got to see my other old roommate, Emily, so it was good to see her and spend some time catching up! After the wedding we headed back to Saint Louis where Andy's friend Brandon was eagarly waiting to watch fighting with Andy. We had some great times and only more to come this week with our friends Augie and Naomi coming for the weekend!

Some things to pray for us about would be: for me and hives and everything else that seems to be wrong with me! I think stress is really having a feast on my body.

A job! I got a call about another opening and with school starting this next week, just that something would happen and fast or that it would be clear as to what we should do.

For Andy with starting school the 16th, mentally preparing him for classes and studying.

Also for Andy as he is working on memory and attention problems.

Thanks for reading!
