It's official!

2/18/09

I checked the mail the other day to find a package slip from Wheaton.  We were so excited to find out that it was Currey's first diploma!  I made him take pictures because I was so excited. So here he is with the first one....


He has worked really hard in school and we are thrilled that he is so close to completing this season of life.  In just 3 short months he will be walking the stage.  Time has flown by.  We are anxious to see what the next phase of life holds for us.

A New Hairdo

2/18/09

Currey and I have decided that the way I deal with life changes is by chopping of my hair.  I've always been willing to let go of lots of my hair (Smithee and Kaki, I'm sure you remember the mushroom 'do in 8th grade!)  As soon as we came home from our honeymoon I cut my hair off and the last time I quit my job I did the same.  So here it is......  


So what you may ask prompted this change?  I've resign from my current job.  And the scary part is that I don't have another.  Things at work have gotten worse and it's been impacting my health again.  I started talking with Currey and his suggestion was to quit.  I thought about it some more and came back to Currey and again he advised me to quit.  We talked and prayed and decided that I would resign.  We decided that my health was more important and I was becoming so burned out that I knew I was not benefitting the kids.  Another counselor is leaving so if I wanted my kids to be equally divided with the best staff so I decided it was time for me to go as well.  We know that God is faithful and we know that he always provides.  I gave a month's notice and I'm almost 2 weeks in.  It is the scariest decision that I have made up until this point in life.  I have an interview tomorrow so we are hopeful that it pans out.  If not we know that there is something better waiting for me.  I'll keep you posted and would love your prayers.

Feed My Starving Children

2/16/09


We enjoyed an evening out with several people from our church and small group at an agency called Feed My Starving Children.  It was an unbelievable experience where we packed bags of food that will be shipped all over the world to feed starving children.  

You can check out more about it here.  It was really cool and we look forward to going back again.  Hope you are all having a great week!

Where We've Been








2/14/09

So I've been a major blog slacker recently.  Life has been incredibly crazy but we've been doing lots of entertaining since returning home.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

We celebrated Danny's Birthday with wonderful cupcakes and lots of friends from Small Group.







And as always there was lots of Mario Cart on the Wii.





We had an Iron Chef night with 2 of my coworkers.  We got a cookbook and both picked an appetizer and entree to try.  We spent an evening cooking and eating.  We enjoyed it so much that we are planning another one for March with even more friends.

 Nancy and Griselda





Our kitchen doesn't hold too many people so I chopped at the kitchen table.



We also enjoyed the Super Bowl with our precious small group



It's been a busy month since we returned home but we have loved getting to spend so much time with our sweet friends.
