Christmas Time

So here it is! The first post from J :O

Once C got back from the Carolinas she was very tired of being on the road. However, the next day (Wednesday) she had to get back in the car to start our Christmas vacation. We got to Columbus Wednesday evening for supper. Then we opened family presents, which was fun. The next morning we woke up to see that Santa had brought us some fun toys (the tv was by far my favorite). Grannie and Granddaddy came over for Christmas Eve lunch and for presents. Later that afternoon we jumped back in the car and headed to Huntsville. Our Mexican Christmas was full of cheese, movies, and games. Christmas morning we woke up to find that Santa had come again! Saturday morning we left for Kate Kate's house in Fulton. Her new house was a site to behold, and we had a good time visiting and exchanging gifts. After spending the night in Columbus Saturday night, we finally made it home Sunday night. Even though it was tiring, we had an amazing first Christmas!

Remember to keep praying for C's job. We are very anxious and hopeful.

If you are wondering...

J promised to updated the blog for the week... and I'm holding him to it. So that's why there has not been an update yet. :P

Sweet Caroline

Sorry, I didn't update earlier! I went to the Carolinas for an interview. It went really well. I like the area and the other teachers. I am supposed to hear something next week! Pray I hear good news! I am really excited about this opportunity!

I also had a phone interview with a school in Atlanta. I didn't get that job, but I am actually relieved because it wasn't something I knew I would enjoy.

John worked A LOT last week (almost 40 hours)! I was bored at home. Richard came to visit for a few days though.

We're off tomorrow to start our Christmases!

Columbus -> Athens -> Fulton -> back home! It will be another whirlwind trip!

Pomp and Circumstance

Only missing Amanda! We did it!

The ceremony was only an hour and a half, so it was not bad at all! And now I am a graduate!


Also this week:
Rob and Laura's wedding. I forgot my memory card, so I don't have pictures. :( Even though it stormed and poured rain, it was still beautiful.

I got 2 phone calls for interviews! One is in Atlanta. I applied for the job Thursday morning, and they called me Thursday afternoon! My phone interview is Tuesday. The other is for Harnett County Schools in North Carolina. They are supposed to call to setup the interview early this week! They just found my resume online and called me. We would be happy to move to either place, so pray that if one of these places is for us, God will show us! I just pray that this is God opening doors for us.

We are excited Christmas is coming up! Hopefully we can decide mid-week what our actual plans are!

Let It Snow!

I finished my last week of student teaching!!! Graduation in 5 days!!!!

John's interview didn't go as well as we thought it would, so now we are just praying God will show us what to do soon!

The important thing about this week was....


Snow at the Christmas parade!!!!

That's all for this week. Next week should be more exciting :)
