Wow! I can't believe it's been 2 months since I've posted here on the blog. There is so much that's happened! I'll try to keep the updates short and sweet.
Jen's Job Situation
I got a job in Augusta as a para. Butler County Special Education didn't treat me well, so I gave them my 2 weeks and left. Now I'm signed up to be a substitute in over 13 different school districts all within 30 minutes of our apartment. I'm also working 20-30 hrs/week at Belden's (a jewelry store in the mall). I love it there and can't wait for the Christmas rush!
Michael's Job Situation
Michael looked for months before getting a part-time job at Toys-R-Us. In the past week 4 companies have been calling and interviewing and talking to him. Bunting in Newton offered him a job and he accepted. It's a drafting job, not a mechanical engineering job. Other companies are still looking at him, and if they will pay more, give him an opportunity to work as an engineer, have opportunities for him to work up and advance his career, and give him some job security, then he will take one of those jobs instead.
Harlee and Gabby
The pups are doing well. Gabby got bit and had a fairly deep puncture wound on her bottom from a mishap at the dog park. She has since healed and has returned to the dog park with no fear or anxiety. Harlee continues to be antisocial but enjoys her time in the wide-open to sniff around. Harlee has even begun playing with other dogs occasionally. Gabby has gotten taller than Harlee and is causing a bit of a power struggle here at home. Both girls still weigh around 30 lbs.
Other Important News
We found out that Sis and Adam are having a baby boy in March! We are very excited to have a little nephew to play with!
Food Stuff
Michael and I have been getting creative with our food on a budget lately. We have some great recipes for baked potatoes and ways to dress up tomato soup. We have also been eating a lot of Amish Friendship Bread lately. If you would like a starter, just let us know.
That's about all that's been going on with us for a while. See?? I did keep it short! Hope you are all doing well! I'll try to remember to update again soon to let you know more about Michael's job and what doors the Lord opens! :)
